Well I became impatient and thought that a file I had was voodoo. So I replaced my current Mach_Kernel with the file that I thought was voodoo but I guess it wasn't… ANYWAYS now when I start up OSX86, my screen just flashes before it even…

So I have 2 hardrives. One has OSx86 on it (IDE) and the other has Windows 7 and Ubuntu on it (SATA). When I installed Chameleon I didn't have Ubuntu installed. I just partitioned my SATA drive so I could put it on there. Well in Chameleon…

So Apple just got rid of the new MacBooks and they offer a wider selection of MacBook Pro's. Well I really could use one for school (I'm in highschool) and just for a general computer that'll work and I can enjoy using. Right now I have…

Well, the newest version of limewire for a mac is 5.0.11. And it requres java 1.6 which is not available for 32 bit mac operating systems. I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the java package into thinking I have a 64 bit operating…

I've seen peoples OSX86 machines boot up with the mac boot up screen. That one ^^^^^ The logo and everything instead of all that code. Do you need to have a vanilla kernel to do that or is there a way to set your boot up screen that way?…

So I installed Windows 7 on my other hardrive last night I and noticed right away that OSX86 runs smoother? I guess that could make sence since its a beta but then again OSX isn't even supposed to run on a PC… My video card works perfectly…

I got this half way through the installation of iATKOS V.7. I selected as few things (preinstall) as I could. I even tried deselecting the Voodoo Kernal. Anyone know what the issue is?

I got a USB soundcard since mine was incompatible. On 10.5.6 it worked perfectly fine, it was just plug in and play. Now, whenever I try to change the volume with either me keyboard or in the menu bar it won't let me. I have to manually go…

If I have installed the voodoo kernel on my AMD computer then when 10.5.6 comes out will installing it mess up my computer or what? is it to early to tell if this will happen? Also do you think the update will be worth the risk to update…

Windows 7 RC (release candidate) came out yesterday. I was wondering what everyone thought about it (or previous beta versions of windows 7)? I'm currently using build 7000 and I like it, but I only use it for gaming. I still like OSx86…

So if you've been following my story about the macbook that I've been going on about forever on this forum, I finally came to an end. My dad won't get me a macbook pro but (because he's weird..) He said he'd get me an LCD HD monitor and…

So I've noticed that OSX doesn't seem as smooth as a real mac, and I would have guessed that. But what it seems like is that my mom and brothers macbooks are running faster than mine with my hardware being better than theres. Here are my…

“can I install this on 10.5.5 or do I have to be at 10.5.6?”

“Does Voodoo make it so AMD users can install 10.5.6 without any patches? (sorry kinda a stupid question probably) Also, if I have an older version of voodoo will this just over wright it without a problem?”

“@lanceomini I have OSX version 10.5.5 I installed the kernal based on voodoo that is version 9.6.0 I looked online for voodoo 9.5.0 but it comes in a .DMG so I cant install it…”

“So doo I need to change my kernel first and then apply the seatbelt.kext? I have 10.5.5 and installed voodoo 9.6.0 ( I have the mounting issue) So should I install voodoo 9.5.0 and then install the 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext?”
