hehe.. looks like a fun experiment for anyone interested.
not sure what benifits OSX would provide over XP or vista or whatever flava you run on your boxen.

but.. bit of fun at the very least.

Looks kewl ^.^

I wonder if you can get it in fullscreen mode..

Cause in the screens with his laptop, it's not.. and the others are just print screens.

It would look - if I did it to my laptop and it's not in widescreen <_<

For anyone thats interested, the copy that was leaked extracts to just on 6.5GB and runs well on a 3.2GHz EE & 2GB of RAM.

[AlCaTrAzz]

so is it the full OSx tho? or some sort of linux thing that looks like it?

if it's OSx, how come there talking about being able to run windows aps?

[PHOENIX_12]

lol just sent that link to a guy @ work and he recons he'll have it working by this arvo

[rcdarkangel]

alc: its osx and because its running on an x86, all programs that work under WINE on other unix systems will work on osx, whereas the cpu is different on ppc based macs, and stops the programs from working because their cpu instructions are completely different, but Apple have been compiling osx for the X86 platform since the first release, and by the looks of it there was only a few things to modify to unlock the x86 code. im so getting this tonight :P

you require a CPU with sse3 to be able to make use of Rosetta / PPC apps.

so if you can meet all the req's .. it will run perfectly and very very fast.

San Deigo or Venice A64 for the win ;)
(also Prescott's but I just cant get excited over that)

[blot0]

yes alc.. its full OSX

[James]

This is cool!

This is very cool.

My housemate is going to download this and try it on a boxen at home...

I'll make sure to get some snap shots if he doesnt post them up himself ;)


If anyone else tries it, let us know of their progress!

[PHOENIX_12]

work friend had success at 3:00 thisarvo and he's happy with it, he wants to implement on some of our work machines :P

[linux_inside v2]

i would have ran it on mine, had it been legal
and had i ran it i would say it ran sweet as and gave me a fat

also the only drawback would have been that my graphics card isnt supported

but for legal reasons i did not try it ;)

[MaJ]

im running it at work, its alright although some apps arent working. iTunes mainly.

But i forsee it being fixed soemtime in the future.

yeah.. itunes isnt working cause you need SSE3 to run rosella wich converts PPC apps on the fly to x86.

try that if u only got sse2 rather than sse3, the networking still dosen't work if u run it on vm ware but everything else dose

its rosetta :P

oh btw does anyone know if it will run without sse2? i want to put it on my p3 850 laptop

[PHOENIX_12]

no it only runs on sse2 with the patch

[blot0]

lol .. ll insted of tt..
my bad..

and yeah.. what pheonix_9 said..
will only work on a minimum SSE2 cpu

[linux_inside v2]

Athlon 64 3200+ venice, 2gb DDR and a 6600gt PCI-E

also, to speed it up alot, remove /system/library/extensions/appletpmacpi.kext and it will stop hammering your cpu in an effort to load the tpm module. i did it and now it runs soooo much faster

[PHOENIX_12]

yea the pc has no use for the file, somthing to do with the new processors mac is bringing out soon, so the file is useless for even the G5's

[linux_inside v2]

well actually, it does have a use. on the un-cracked version, it will only load on a mac with the correct hardware TPM module, the crackers removed the software interface to the TPM module, but not the kernel extension that calls it, hence appletpmacpi hogging cpu time trying to call the tpmmodule
