  1. Mac OS X on Pc

  2. Why is this not possible?

  3. AppleInc.finances • Millions of more copies to sell! • Hardware sales are gaining ground. • Does it mean more profit? • At what cost?

  4. Apple’s Argument • Focusing on their hardware allows them for a much more stable and richer OS experience. • Other Arguments • Mac hardware sales are accompanied by software sales, accessories and service plans. • Converting into a software company would give up their entire business plan. • Great investment in support of a wide range of drivers.

  5. In Conclusion • Apple is safe riding their increasing wave of hardware sales.

  6. Project Hackintosh emerged! • Is really the project OSx86. • Apple switched form PowerPC to Intel? Alright! • Very expensive machines • Apple cannot be legally installed on non “Apple labeled” machines.

  7. Can we buy PC’s with OS X? Yes! • Psystar Corp. • “Open Computers” with the option of having OS X preinstalled. • Developers of the OSx86 project clamed that Psystar did not get permission to run their code andreworked their license so that forbids commercial use. • Psystar Corp and Apple have a legal case open since july 2008.

  8. Hacking Approaches • Kernel Hacks • Boot loaders and emulators • Live DVD

  9. Kernel Hacks • Mac OS X 10.4.4: • Mod in the EFI (Extensive Firmware Interface) that allowed installation. • XNU kernel Patch: • Mod in the new apple kernel, with two main versions. • Mifki: Very few patches, able to run on close to apple hardware • Semthex: Goal was to make his kernel work on legacy hardware with the omission of some crucial features.

  10. Mac OS X v.10.5 • It was a very popular build initiated by hacker BrazilMac, it allowed installation of retail OS X. • Later it was reworked by other hackers gave fruition to: • JaS • Kalyway • iAtkos • iPC • iDeneb • Leo4all

  11. Boot loaders and emulators • EFI emulation: Developed by hacker Netkas, emulated an EFI environment using a modified DarwingBootLoader so that the OS could recognize computer as Macintosh machines. • Boot 132: Preloads an environment from which OS X can boot and operate, that would be followed by the installation of a retail OS X disk. • Very well received since it didn’t involve hacking to the OS X disk.

  12. 10.6 Snow leopard: Is another version of the boot loader installation limited to apple’s hardware specs. • Live DVD: Hack on apple’s Netboot and ImageBoot file that allows the system to boot from a USB or a DVD. It behaved like if the system was running of a network disk.

  13. Installing OS X on XPS M1330

  14. Kernel patch method used • Leo4allv3: One of the Kernel Hacks developed by hacker Eddies11c and the work was followed by Bhast2 with a small team of developers. • Hiren’s Boot CD: Partition, Formatting utilities.

  15. Procedure: • Setting up the Hardware: • Split Hard Disks into 2 partition for Dual Booting (If you are planning multiple OS) • Set OS X Partition to 1 (primary) • Set Install Second Operating System • Format HSF+ for Mac OS X partition. • Go To BIOS and disable all the advance features the motherboard support that the OS could check.

  16. Boot Leo4allv3. • Set flags: • Platform=PCX86 • -v :Verbose mode to see what’s going on in the background.

  17. During installation, select custom installation and choose the Driver and applications you might need. • Continue with installation, it should take 20 to 30 minutes • Reboot, and don’t send the registration. • Other updating procedures to the OS available if necessary.

  18. Installation of iPhone SDK • Current version is 3.1 • Compatible with all OS X versions? • No, only to versions 10.5.7 and above.

  19. Solution • Upgrade your OS X to latest version • Follow tutorials on how to upgrade from your version. • Find a previous version of the SDK • Version 2.2.1 works with 10.5.4
