- dirtyhand, on 11/06/2007, -22/+228It's not worth the trouble, 90% of the time your hardware wont be supported...
- tallonx, on 11/13/2007, -4/+126If this is anything like the Hackintosh Tiger Project, then this will work, but will be severely crippled. I would suggest to all those who decide to take this route, and install leopard on a pc, that you realize that this is not going to suit, in most cases, as a primary OS. It is also important to note, that there is a good chance, that when an update comes about via software update, it can severely screw things up.
- vertinox, on 11/03/2007, -13/+129Official support is for pussies. Be a man and roll your own.
- advancedOption, on 11/03/2007, -15/+115Has anyone tried this out? Does it work?
- err404, on 11/06/2007, -5/+99OSX86/Hackintoch is a gateway drug for Apple. It's good enough to wet you apatite, but not enough to leave you satisfied. Last year I ran the Tiger builds for a a few months and really liked it, but was frustrated by little things being unstable or not working "quite" right. In the end I bought a MacBook Pro. Since then I have bought many other Apple products, including a second Mac.
- iSamurai, on 11/06/2007, -14/+104Wondering if I can dual boot? Can I keep Vista on my lappy and dual boot with Leopard?
BTW, these are the files : http://rapidshare.com/files/65339534/BrazilMac-9a5 ... - thecheatah, on 11/03/2007, -26/+106pfff... looks like linux...
*ducks* - afflusso, on 11/01/2007, -19/+84You won't be able to play any games on a real Mac either.
- FIip, on 11/07/2007, -15/+73You won't be able to play any games on it.
- tokinama, on 11/01/2007, -4/+59Yes this does work.. A lot of people have got it working on their PC's. Some People have troubles getting Sound, etc.. to work but for most, everything seems to be fine so far..
- SilverBlade2k, on 10/29/2007, -8/+62that was quick...
- Singee15, on 10/28/2007, -7/+49I REALLY REALLY hope this becomes stable
- maliath, on 10/31/2007, -3/+41Yes, buying hardware that's hundreds of dollars cheaper and running the same OS is weird.
- bratterscain, on 11/03/2007, -9/+45First time I heard someone say "be a man" and install OSX. Maybe you'll be a less effeminate man if you roll your own OSX.
- allyant, on 10/31/2007, -5/+39Shame it doesn't support SSE2, guess I need a new comp.
- dpr1011, on 10/28/2007, -3/+37Please write your install stories if you have successfully got Leopard to boot.
I am thinking about installing over my tiger partition to dual boot leopard/vista - 0xFEEDFACE, on 10/29/2007, -0/+31Exactly. That's probably why Apple seems to turn a blind eye to it.
- Rizin, on 10/31/2007, -4/+31No not really I used the 10.4 Hackintosh as my main PC I was not crippled in any way. Also you dont use Software Update. You wait for a patched update.
- CyberSteve, on 11/01/2007, -4/+31http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1402044/3100 ...
- Kanidia, on 11/01/2007, -5/+30You don't need to duck, most of us can't aim.
Oops, dugg you up. I guess I can't aim either. (jk)
Damn now I need to duck. - deadbaby, on 10/28/2007, -0/+24It IS crippled if you expect every single piece of hardware out there to work. It works great if you spend 15 minutes on osx86project.org and find out what IS compatible before you buy. Before I bought a Mac I built a cheap little clone of the original Intel developers box and it was 100% compatible. Video, Sound, etc. It worked perfectly. You just have to know what hardware to buy.
- sishgupta, on 11/02/2007, -1/+23of course you can. you can multiboot anything if you use the right bootloaders
osx/linux/xp/vista
you dont have to be using linux to use grub. grub will boot an OSX/Vista install noproblemo. - hyphyleopard, on 10/31/2007, -27/+49MY HARDWARE SMOKES ANY ***** THAT APPLE HAS RELEASED
ITS NOT OUR FAULT WE DONT PAY FOR OVERPRICED HARDWARE WITH ***** GRAPHIC CARDS
8800 gtx ftw!, core 2 duo, core 2 quad core! water cooled ram! raptors! kilowat powersupplies! cool cases! nice motherboards with so many more features that you could dream of - monospaced, on 10/31/2007, -5/+26Headline: November 26th, Apple updates Leopard, PCs running cracked OS reporting bricked machines nationwide.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/29/2007, -4/+25FWIW, I did this with an older version of OSX once, just for fun. It worked pretty well on an HP laptop. I haven't done Leopard though.
- Roger, on 10/28/2007, -2/+22Yeah. Get me one too.
- inactive, on 10/29/2007, -4/+23LOLZ CAPS !!1!!!eleven!!
- M4tt3r, on 10/28/2007, -1/+19I love grub.
- webcrumb, on 11/01/2007, -1/+18We do what we must because we can.
- canthraxp, on 10/29/2007, -2/+19Best to try in virtual box.
- afx1, on 10/28/2007, -1/+18ok you're right, i haven't
- wing05, on 10/28/2007, -0/+17I'd buy it in the blink of an eye as I'm sure a whole lot of others out there would.
- hexydes, on 10/28/2007, -1/+16Yeah, Steve Jobs will never let that happen. You want Apple, you're going to play by Steve's rules.
- inactive, on 10/28/2007, -1/+16nice attempt at trolling-but you're not quite doing it right.
- bratterscain, on 10/28/2007, -1/+16I've done that plenty of times and so have the ladies.
- unloud, on 10/29/2007, -2/+17"be a man and learn to experiment"
For some reason, that made me laugh really hard. - chrisbarr, on 10/28/2007, -2/+17I did it once with Tiger 10.4.9 on my Gateway desktop and it all worked except for my network card and audio. Considering I wanted to use th machine in my kitchen to stream iTunes music from my other computers, it was a failure there.
- chad78, on 11/02/2007, -0/+14I do not work for Microsoft - I wish I did, I'd make a lot more money than I do now. I do, however, think it is utterly retarded to write it as M$. Are you suggesting that Apple is any less concerned about making money than Microsoft? If they were less concerned, they could easily lower the price of the iPod and all their other hardware, and still make a profit, just not as much of one.
Making the extra effort to type M$ instead of MS (if you type normally, with "home row keys" etc. - the $ is harder to type than the S.) just makes you look petty, nerdy, and way to obsessed with a company, (MIcrosoft - not Apple - your obsession lies with the one you hate.) - rlutterb, on 11/07/2007, -7/+21Please PLEASE don't use the term "lappy". It's really lame.
- derekivey, on 10/31/2007, -7/+21Anyone know where to get the "Patched DVD Image" that they are talking about?
- imightbewrong, on 10/28/2007, -1/+14yeah why not spend 1000$ when you download a dvd and install it
- wafflez, on 10/28/2007, -4/+17D:
I would do this..but anyone know about graphics card compatibility? I can't seem to find any drivers for mac for the 8800gts ;_;. also, there are no mac sound card drivers either. - Eminemdrdre00, on 10/29/2007, -1/+14The SSE2 version will be released later today by ToH
- Roger, on 10/28/2007, -2/+15Crippled how?
- linkerjpatrick, on 10/28/2007, -5/+18What if this is the secret feature? I respect the fact Apple wants to create the OS that runs on their hardware and their hardware sales are good enough to justify not doing it but what if they did a three-tiered support system? Full support on their own hardware, second tier with a major vendor like Dell, HP and no official support with anyone else?
- soopafly, on 10/29/2007, -7/+20I bet you get all the chicks
- rglover, on 10/28/2007, -4/+16Probably a dumb question, but will this only work on Intel?
- colto, on 10/28/2007, -1/+13Leo, then windows would work. Windows has a built in bootloader. HOWEVER I would highly recommend that you install windows, then Leopard, and then install the grub bootloader. Grub is generally more robust, runs faster, and looks cleaner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB
- vickers500, on 10/28/2007, -1/+13Why the hell am I getting dugg down for asking an honest question? I swear, if you dont know everything there is to know about Apple, the ravaging fanboys just freak out.
- kajoob, on 10/28/2007, -3/+15Haven't tried it yet, but OSX has been hacked repeatedly to run on non-apple hardware, so chances are pretty good that this is legit. w00t.
