AMD Patcher 0.31 available to download “I've tried to download but all I see is this. Also, I posted the following over at IM but you seem like the person in the know. I'm looking for a better (faster) way of removing CPUID checks from OSX binaries. I'm currently using a shellscr…”	10.X Core	2008-11-21 230,773 dossier reads
Hack of the Clones: Why Apple Can't Stop the Copies “I find it hard to believe that Apple couldn't lock their OS into genuine Apple hardware if they wanted to. I'd say the hole OSx86 thing has happened because Apple wanted it to happen (or at least didn't mind it happening), but competitors s…”	Releases & News	2008-12-14 26,137 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “This is awesome! Got an error on my hackintosh though. Said it couldn't get the UUID of my drive (error 35). When i try it out on my MBP it works like a charm. My hackintosh problem is probably due to my install or something. Hoping to use …”	10.X Core	2008-12-08 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “Does the OSX install disk utility work with 10.4 and below retail disks, aswell? As it is, no. It wouldn't be a massive task to edit the actual script to work on Tiger, but you would also need to change the support files for Tiger compatibl…”	10.X Core	2008-12-08 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “Version 0.5 is out, see first post. Now includes language chooser, Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel Release 1.0 rev A, Improved CPUID patcher (need to make that optional), plus a bunch other bug fixes. Thanks to zephyroth for his help on finding CPUIDs.”	10.X Core	2008-12-07 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “This is not the thread to post this question in. This app strips the PPC code out. Start it over in the Questions section and we'll work on it there. If you make a PPC backup it strips out i386 and x86_64 code, Very useful for my aging PPC …”	10.X Core	2008-12-01 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “One question: Will it be possible to install Leopard on PowerPC hardware like Efika, PowerStation or on a dualcore MPC8640D, natively? Not to my knowledge. The Efika is way underpowered for Leo anyway, not familiar with the other two. If th…”	10.X Core	2008-12-01 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “EDIT: why are there three songs listed but only two that you mentioned above? During development/testing they are handy just to drop in places to attract my attention. e.g. If I what to see the output from thinToArch, I can drop playMp3 "${…”	10.X Core	2008-12-01 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “Forcedeth caused a Kernel Panic after mounting the DMG it created of my install disk on my Hacintosh. I'm removing it and retrying.

OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “could this app be run from an OS X Live DVD as long as it is dragged over to a HD and run? in other words, does it have to be on the root drive? can the temp directory and image be placed and directly worked on a drive other than root? This…”	10.X Core	2008-11-30 16,133 dossier reads
OSX install disk utility (alpha testers needed) “agreed, now if only there was a way to make a windows app that would do this for people we wouldn't need to make distros anymore... everyone could just create their own from both platforms then. Of course, we don't want to make it too easy.…”	10.X Core	2008-11-30 16,133 dossier reads
