| Reliability of OS X in a real production environment (on non-apple h/w) I haven't read much about osx86 for a long time, and infinite mac seemed like the best of all the communities (great theme too). I was involved with "hackintosh" stuff in the very early days, and haven't returned to it since then. I work… | 10.X Core | 9,138 reads 2009-03-25 · 24 notes |
| Using an existing Mac HD image on non-Apple hardware Does anyone know if it's possible to use an existing Leopard drive image, write it to a hack-mac drive, and perform some magic to get it to boot on non-apple H/W? Is this at all possible? A boot-loader of some description? I figure it must… | 10.X Core | 8,156 reads 2009-04-01 · 6 notes |

| about changing the startup image with BootXChanger “Chameleon lets you change the boot logo and background. Not only that, but you can use 24bit (transparent) PNG files too.” | Software & Kexts | 2009-04-07 9,932 dossier reads |
| Reliability of OS X in a real production environment (on non-apple h/w) “Wow, Boxer is great (nice little website too). I'd never come across it before. Some of those games bring back memories. I can't believe I wasted so much time playing Kings Quest when I was younger. Do any of you guys run VMware Fusion/Para…” | 10.X Core | 2009-03-27 9,138 dossier reads |
| Reliability of OS X in a real production environment (on non-apple h/w) “I just wrote a response and somehow lost it in a sea of tabs... oops Anyhow, to summarise: lanceomni: - Adobe RGB doesn't matter for us, as all of the work is for the web - Using consumer displays makes the most sense, since that's what nea…” | 10.X Core | 2009-03-26 9,138 dossier reads |
| Reliability of OS X in a real production environment (on non-apple h/w) “I have a dell 24" WFP(ultrasharp) model at the workstation beside me. They're pretty good, but for some reason reds are extremely over-saturated. It's hooked in to the DVI-out of a Mac Mini. I've yet to find a way to correct the ultra-inten…” | 10.X Core | 2009-03-26 9,138 dossier reads |
| Reliability of OS X in a real production environment (on non-apple h/w) “Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like it has been pretty solid for you with heavier apps. I've searched and read similar threads, and they all seem to agree (at least when the hardware is right). I might build a test system with a quadcore…” | 10.X Core | 2009-03-25 9,138 dossier reads |
| Using an existing Mac HD image on non-Apple hardware “I wanted to quickly update this thread. I'm currently using my iMac HD image with great success on the new hackmac hardware. Wrote Chameleon to the drive, added EFI strings for vid card, removed a kext, added a few new ones for wireless/aud…” | 10.X Core | 2009-04-07 8,156 dossier reads |
