MacOS X Tiger on x86
Currently listening ‘Distance’ by ‘Tamaki Nami’
Currently sleepy
Yup, I successfully installed MacOS X Tiger in my PC.
Click more to continue.
It’s all started on Friday evening. Jay came to the room and says “some hackers managed to hack MacOS X Tiger to run on x86 architecture machines”. He gave me the software and we (Adrian, Jy and me)tried to install it in my PC.
Lotsa problem though. It’s not as easy installing as installing a game in your pc. The process is more painful, stressful and dreadful compared with normal Windows installation.
There’s more than 5 ways to install it. And we tried it one by one. Since MacOS X is very hardware dependent ( ya, a very fussy OS ), we met up with hardware incompability problems. Can’t blame Apple, it’s memang made for Apple hardware.
Oh ya, need one whole harddisk to install it. We can’t install it in one single partition. Temporarily, we used SPB’s 200GB HDD. Hehehe..
I went back home at 6am, Saturday morning. Yep, working 14 hours non-stop trying to make it happen. I came back to the room at 4pm something and continue to work. Finally, we managed to run it on my PC. We tried on Adrian’s pc and it didn’t work.
Yep, just like the original MacOS X, IT’S SEXY!!! YEAH..
But this hacked version is very buggy on my PC because of some hardware incompability stuffs.

This is my PC. Err, i mean Mac.. PC.. watever..

Uh-huh, running on Intel Pentium 4. Full View Recommended

Details of my machine. Full View Recommended

I pressed Alt-Tab, err.. i mean Command-Tab

Oh, the irony. Surfing MSN using Safari

Now I know that my website looks sucky on Safari

OOT : Edo, why did you choose b2evolution over WP and MT? Cause I am getting my own hosting soon, so still scouting around for what software. Honestly, I like your layout and stuff here. But I don’t see much b2e blogs around. So, if I use b2e, other than the forums, the only person I could ask question is like you. So… can ya advice me on this? Ya can drop me an email. :)

So much hassle to install MacOS X on a PC. I can’t help but ask what for? Seems a waste of time, if you ask me.
My opinion, though.

It’s for fun of course. It’s not easy to accomplish this kind of stuffs. Running a Mac on x86 is like a dream man ~ Yeah ~
