Rudy Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) looks like Narf2006 finally did it (unlike the fake vista screenshot (well with his technique you could install vista too)) Narf2006 had been working on an homemade CSM module for the Intel mac for the contest and he just updated his flickr with some promising screenshots :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/32436196@N00/ edit: whoops wrong title, should be intel imac running XP not macbook :D Edited March 11, 2006 by Rudy Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 doesnt look right i must say but if its real then the world is doomed well at least he didnt just pop out of nowhere, he's been on the contest page before and has been talking to the guy running the contest about his progress (and he's the only one that was working on a CMS as far as i know) Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) How did he do it? Its just pictures where are the words for once! :rofl: he created a CSM (which is the bios compatibility layer, which is lacking in the intel macs) Edited March 11, 2006 by Rudy Link to post Share on other sites

MrA Share Posted March 11, 2006 Isn't there a CSM in the Tianocore SDK? Why doesn't he use that instead of making his own? Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn Share Posted March 11, 2006 A sad moment in time... :no: A matter of opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
Rudy Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Isn't there a CSM in the Tianocore SDK? Why doesn't he use that instead of making his own? my guess is that it would be hard to make it compatible with the imac (but im not 100% sure) Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Don't You mean CSM not CMS? CMS is a Content Management System yes i do.... sorry about that :blush: oh btw if his solution is working this would also mean most x86 OS should run on the new macs (ie: Win2k, Vista, Linux (without the EFI hacks)) Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderRiver Share Posted March 11, 2006 A sad moment in time... :no: You are missing the point. It is to prove the point that you CAN do it..not all the BS about EFI preventing Xp from landing in Mac. Whether it is sad or not, that's your problem. Link to post Share on other sites

drshdw Share Posted March 11, 2006 someone at work pointed out it might be fake..... look at this picture: look at the bottom right corner of the screen..... Light bends/bleeds...especially with that big of a contrast..(white/black) A sad moment in time... :no: Because the iMac uses a Conroe? So I could say, sad moment in time for PCs? :rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites
dougal.s Share Posted March 11, 2006 A few of the others look slightly odd also. It strikes me as strange that someone who has an iMac, and all this time to carry out low-level programming, doesn't own a digital camera that produces photographs of a decent quality! Dougal.

Rudy Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 uhh, what am I ment to be looking for? :blush: the bottom right of the screen of the imac looks stretched over where the white border should be i would have circled it in paint but im at work and i odnt have access to paint :pinch: i really hope it's real but i dont know what to think after that pic...
