Wikipedia. OSx. 86 from the names OS X and x. OS Xoperating system on non Apple personal computers with x. The effort started soon after the June 2. Worldwide Developers Conference announcement that Apple would be moving its personal computers from Power. PC to Intel microprocessors. A computer built to run this type of OS X is also known as a Hackintosh,1 a portmanteau of the word hack and the name of Apples main model of computers, Macintosh. Hackintoshed notebook computers are also called Hackbooks. The Apple software license does not allow OS X to be used on a computer that is not Apple branded. The legality of this form of tying is disputed by companies such as Psystar, Bizon computer, Pear. C and Mac. PC who have attempted to release products using Mac OS on non Apple machines. However, while the methods Apple uses to prevent OS X from being installed on non Apple hardware are protected from commercial circumvention in the United States by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act DMCA,4 specific changes to the law regarding the concept of jailbreaking that permitted the practice has thrown such and similar circumvention methods into a grey area when carried out by end users for personal use. HistoryeditMac OS X v. TigereditOn June 6, 2. Apple announced their plans to switch to Intel processors at their Worldwide Developers Conference and released a Developer Transition Kit to selected developers at a cost of 9. Efforts immediately began to attempt to run Mac OS X on non Apple hardware, but developers quickly found themselves with an error message saying that the PC hardware configurations were not supported. Apple released on January 1. Mac OS X 1. 0. 4. Intel based Macs, the i. Torrentz will always love you. Farewell. 20032016 Torrentz. Mac and the Mac. Book Pro. These machines used Extensible Firmware Interface EFI platform firmware instead of the older style BIOS found on most x. As early as Mac OS X v10. A466 the community has maintained a version of Leopard that can run on nonApple hardware. A hacker by the handle of BrazilMac. On February 1. 4, 2. Mac OS X v. 10. 4. Internet by a programmer with the pseudonym crg. Within hours Apple released the 1. On April 3, 2. 00. Apple released their 1. Apple computers, although this did not include the updated kernel in 1. In June, the hackers released the 1. Mac OS X update for non Apple computers using the 1. Up to the release of the 1. OSx. 86 patches used the 1. However, the newer frameworks relied on the newer kernels and this led to users of 1. Apple also started making more use of SSE3 instructions on their hardware making it even more difficult for users with CPUs supporting only SSE2 such as older Pentium 4s to get a fully compatible system running. To solve this problem, hackers from the community released kernels where those instructions were emulated with SSE2 equivalents, although this produced a performance penalty. Throughout the years, many distros were released for download over the Internet. These distros were copies of the Mac OS X installer disc modified to include additional components necessary to make the OS run on the non Apple hardware. A prominent member of the community, Ja. S, released many distros of Mac OS X Tiger containing patched kernels. Some other popular distros are i. ATKOS, Kalyway, i. PC, i. Deneb, and Niresh. Distros have fallen out of favour as the OSx. OS X Installer. Mac OS X v. Leopardedit. Mac OS X v. Lenovo laptop computer. As early as Mac OS X v. A4. 66 the community has maintained a version of Leopard that can run on non Apple hardware. A hacker by the handle of Brazil. Mac created one of the earliest patching processes which made it convenient for users to install Mac OS X onto 3rd party hardware by using a legally obtained, retail version of Apple Mac OS X. This simplification made the Brazil. Mac patch and its later revisions quickly the most popular choice for many distros. Five of the most popular builds go by the name Ja. S, Kalyway, i. ATKOS, i. PC and i. Deneb although more recently these builds are on the way out as the Boot 1. However, all of these compilations rely on the work of kernel hackers made by Lorem build 9. A4. 66, Syntheti. X builds 9. A4. 99, 9. A5. 27 and 9. A5. To. H builds 9. A5. B1. 3 and 9. B1. 8 and more recently a group calling themselves Stage. XNU now called Voodoo Darwin 9. Their contributions trickled down into the various Mac OSx. Internet. They continue to be refined and updated builds released, not just to maintain compatibility with Apple releases but an ever increasing number of third party components. The OSx. 86 community has been quick to make the necessary modifications to enable Apples latest releases to run on non Apple hardware. Within hours of Leopards release, an AMDIntel SSE23 Kernel Patcher was created which removed the HPET requirement from an original untouched machkernel file, a core component of the Mac OS. Mac OS X v. 10. 6 Snow LeopardeditWhen Snow Leopard was released, Russian hacker netkas created a version of Chameleon which can boot Mac OS X v. The main problem was that many people were forced to modify DSDT or use kexts due to some specific issues. As soon as possible modbin and dmitrik released test versions of kernel that allow to boot Snow Leopard on AMD machines. Stable XNU kernels for v. Qoopz and Pcj. There are some popular builds based on Retail by the name Universal Intel only, Hazard, and i. Atkos. Since v. 10. Nawcom, Qoopz, and Andy Vandijck have been working on Legacy kernel for unsupported CPUs. Mac OS X v. 10. 7 LioneditWhen Apple released the Developer Preview 1, a Russian Hackintosh developer usr sse. Lion. The method consists of deploying Mac OS X v. Knights Of The Old Republic Keygen here. XPC UEFI Bootloader See DUET below. After some changes were made to the Chameleon source code, booting of Lion was possible with an updated version of Chameleon. After a while Dmitrik also known as Bronzovka had luck with creating a kernel which supported AMD systems After a few months 1. V2 With AMD Support and i. Atkos L2 1. 0. 7. Only Intel were released. Mac OS X v. 10. 8 Mountain LioneditShortly after the release of Developer Preview 1, some unknown developers managed to install this version of OSX to their PC by using a modified version of the Chameleon Bootloader. This version was released via the main project starting at version r. Due to the problems sourced during the Lion era,clarification needed other ways of installing and required patches were never made public, which leaves the scene in an unknown state towards Mountain Lion. Since the retail release of Mountain Lion several users have reported successful setups using installers purchased from the Mac App Store, along with updated versions of Chameleon and other tools including distros. Nireshs Distro 1. Intel only was first released and then was updated to 1. With AMD and Intel and 1. With UEFI Support, AMD and Intel Support versions i. Atkos ML2 was released after Nireshs Release. Mac OS X v. 10. 9 MaverickseditMultiple new kernels for Hackintosh 1. Most of these kernels aim to allow users to run Mavericks on AMD and older Intel CPUs, which lack certain instruction sets of the latest Intel CPUs. Significant efforts have been made to emulate instruction sets like SSSE3, which are not present on AMD K1. CPUs, and older Intel CPUs, like the Intel Core Duo. AMDs latest CPUs, from the Bulldozer architecture onwards, contain almost all the latest instruction sets, and hence, some kernels with full SSE4 support have also been released. After two months, Nireshs Distro was released for Mavericks which supports AMD CPUs and latest Intel CPUs. It also has a custom kernel that allows Intel Atom processors to boot into Mavericks. Nireshs was the only free distro which was released for Mavericks, since the i. Atkos Team decided to release their Mavericks distro for specific hardware on donation basis. Mac OS X v. 10. 1. Yosemiteedit. Hackintosh running OS X Yosemite. After the initial release of OSX Yosemite 1. BETA, various developers took on the role of updating their bootloaders for the system.
