Installing Mac OS X on a PC


Recommended Posts

Yes it is. But I wont recommend 10.5.x (Never tested on AMD systems, just on virtual machines). You may use 10.6 Snow Leopard - which is also a better OS. I'm using it on my AMD system (the retail one, no distro). To install you'll need the nawcom boot cd

It is not against the terms if you buy the retail snow leopard (or whatever) cd/usb/digital download.. what is illegal is to install a distro, because you didnt paid for it. The use of the nawcom mod cd (in snow leopard case) does not break any laws or contracts because it just emulates the darwin (which is open source) and makes an look-like EFI workspace so Mac OS can load itself, applying the necessary tweaks to run it on AMD system - eg Legacy Kernel (also open source)

no, it's still against the EULA and terms, as they say it is to only be installed on Apple hardware/computers

but honestly, who really cares and pays attention

MultiBeast and ichameleon ring a bell. I don't remember.

Basis is you modify the loader to accept your computers BIOS.. after that, you install OSX and then boot up MultiBeast which installs your kexts (drivers) for your non-apple hardware. This is tedious and system specific. Just getting the installer to run can be a challenge. There are much better dedicated forums to doing hackintoshes than neowin.

The thing is.. to get it working, do as I previously said to install it (find some guides if you cant install it on your own, but use the nawcom cd + retail snow leopard).. teh multibeast will be used to install audio, lan, fakesmc and video drivers. those are the only "really" necessary requisits

Hey guys, I got a question for you.

Is it possible to install Mac OS X if I buy the original DVD (version 10.5.7).

I got a AMD processor and 2 GB of RAM.

Thanks!

Short answer : NO

Long Answer : you need an AMD specific/optimized kernel (most like voodoo) which is NOT found on the retail version of OSX (10.5.7)

Your best bet: iATKOS v7 DVD 10.5.7 (universal)

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
