@hellwaker, it is not impossible to have MacOSX running on AMD platform but it is hard. You can't use the stock kernel, Apple has released the Lion's kernel but you need to wait for someone to make this available to the masses. Probably the easiest is to have the OSX runs in vm environment. Lion can run on VM and the EULA allows this.

I am fully aware of that. what about older version of Mac OSX? SL works or not on my ring?

Shouldnt be a problem, but its a bit tricky. Have to use modified kernel so your Hacintosh could run onto AMD platform..

Try Lion in Vmware but no luck...

@hellwaker, it means that vmware couldn't boot Lion from your boot drive (usb/dvd/paritition). Did you follow the guide found on the net? If yes, which one?

I follow below guide from youtube.

I successfully installed SL on my pc and updated to 10.6.7..

Where can I get Snow Leopard locally and how much should it cost?

hm want to try hackintosh to my dg41ty

@hellwaker, sorry, couldn't help with that.. you may want to ask whoever posted the image file in that youtube.

100% everything is working?
Audio?
Sleep?
FireWire?
USD3?

tempted to convert my first gen i7 desktop but oh god everything is so confusing D:

well not really confusing as much as the possibility of stuff not working is daunting xD

@olivur, the most importing thing to get MacOSX to run on your hardware are the motherboard and graphics card. If you've the right one, installing MacOSX on your i7 desktop is just straight forward thing.

if it's not too much trouble, at the top of your head does my spec seem feasible :?

i7 920
asus pdtd deluxe
asus eah4870 1gb

i did a quick search earlier on insanelymac and .. yeah, LOL :X


i've two mbps up to date (first gen unibody and '10 model) and i've to say, the only reason i'd need windows now are for the occasional mmo binges. which my '10 could handle but i do NOT like the way the fan makes a lift off sound when im running windows on it lol :X

not 100% actually..Sleep still not working..get kernal panic when adding the sleepenabler kext..audio is working just fine..firewire and usb3 i'm still not test it yet..

@olivur, try the guide found using myhack at http://osx86.sojugarden.com/guide/ though I usually prefer the tonymac guide but you can always mix them. For my previous SL setup, I was using myhack + multibeast. For my current Lion setup, I was using Andy's p6p67 guide found at insanelymac + multibeast. Why I used multibeast? Well, almost everything needed to be done after initial setup contained in that utility.

thanks for the reply wiraone, i'll take a look at it soon

..once i figure out how to make a lion bootable disc. lol


edit*

this might be a no brainer, but since there are no physical discs for lion (afaik), if i were to get a snow leopard disc from the apple store would i get the lion upgrade for free ._o?

because even if i make a bootable disc of lion using my mbp, the copy would be.. "affiliated" to my mbp, ...right?

*froths*

@olivur, according to Lion licensing, you're free to install on the machine that you can run the AppStore So, what most of us are doing is to buy the Lion off the AppStore on whatever Mac available, and before the upgrade, we copied the necessary file(s) as backup so we don't need to redownload. And no, buying SL will not give you a free upgrade to Lion.

Is it possible to fresh install Mac OS X Lion on a PC without a Mac? Because I don't know where to buy Lion other than Mac App Store.

Not possible as of now but rumors said that Apple is going to sell Lion in USBdrive for US$70.
