OSX86 , if run on the correct hardware is as good as running it on the real thing itself, i got myself a powerful quad core Hack running smooth as butter.

but hey , i do own a real mac as well , so i do feel that my suedo 1337ness is doubled with this .

I think i must admit to the same

I've been wanting to make a hackintosh, but i doubt it ll ever happen

If you're using the hardware in your signature, you might want to look into it. You may be able to get it working without too much effort at all really.

Does anyone happen to know of a program that can check if your hardware is OSX compatible? I'm interested in a hackintosh, but i have no clue if my stuff is compatible.

Insanelymac is a good place to start, they have a huge hardware list. There was also Leopard Upgrade Advisor but the download link seems to be broken at the moment, maybe you'll have to ask someone for a copy.

Link.

I got the program, ran it and it saw all my hardware, but then i said "check hardware compatibility" and it takes like 5 minutes of "checking" and then ends up doing nothing, no green dots, no smiley, nothing.

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By dorf · Posted

      I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine)

      They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
