P.N.T.M. posted:There are plenty of reasons why an external FireWire/USB box is preferable to a card. Look into the Scarlet series for a cheaper 2-input device. Well I am needing at least two inputs and two outputs. How are the USB boxes? I am always worried about latency from them especially at high bit rates. I wonder if Thunderbolt boxes are in the pipe yet.

Nothing thunderbolt has been released yet apart from a few MADI interfaces that aren't particularly useful for a home setup. USB and Firewire boxes work fine on hackintoshes as long as you have a compatible chipset. Latency is generally a non-issue as long as your machine is relatively peppy. If you can handle running at higher sample rates, that slashes the latency to a couple ms usually. Staying under 10ms should not be a problem on a reasonably modern setup.

I recall using a third party KX drivers for my SoundBlaster Live years ago on the early builds - worked fine but the site seems dead.

http://kxproject.com/ Still up, just hasn't been updated. It'll work on anything Pre X-Fi. Post-X-Fi may work on VoodooHDA, it depends on random chance.

I wonder if Thunderbolt boxes are in the pipe yet. This is the box I referenced earlier. Two combo-jack inputs, support for Phantom power, headphones, USB2 interface, and 1/4 monitor jacks. Look around for a cheaper price, obviously, but I generally saw it for $150. Finding a box that uses a Firewire800 interface leads to more expensive results. Frankly, thunderbolt is overkill for the level of data that is being sent. HQ audio is just not that demanding by today's standards, but FW800 is definitely the pinnacle for interface options if you wanted to push the envelope.

Anyone have experience getting Open GL/CL with ATI HD cards? I'm running a setup like this Slugnet's Video Editor (GA-Z77X-UD5H / i7-3770k / 16GB RAM). My video card however is an ATI HD 6770. I'd rather not HAVE to buy a new video card just yet. I had After Effects convinced via some .kext editing to use Open CL, then my HD crashed. (Didn't know how bad Vortex's were when I bought one.) There is a link here but I have not been able to get it to work. I have tried adding the name of my card as it suggested, but no dice so far.

What's the last release of OSX that ran "reliably" on AMD hardware? I'm asking purely for shits and giggles, I don't actually plan to put together some kind of weird AMD hackintosh. I'm guessing it was probably the same one that ran reliably on Intel Atom chips, right? They both required a kernel replacement IIRC.

None of them. You need a custom kernel for any OSX on Atom or AMD. 10.6 is probably the best bet because of how mature it is.

Back when I built my ivy bridge setup (intel H77 motherboard DH77KC) last year, I googled some hackintosh stuff and found out that since I didn't have a gigabyte motherboard, I shouldn't bother. This thread seems to give me hope, and I've actually seen my motherboard on some compatibility lists now. I put one of these 2.5" docks in when I built my PC, which I've been really happy with, as it lets me swap out 2.5 drives really easily - I usually run Windows 7 on a SSD, but I play with Windows 8 by just swapping another drive in. http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-2-5-Inch-Removable-Expansion-S25SLOTR/dp/B002MWDRD6/ Most hackintosh stuff doesn't require any bios config changes from a standard install, right? I figure I should just be able to swap the drive in when I want to play with OSX, and not risk loving anything up with partitioning. I picked up one of the new MBA's a couple months ago and have been loving OS X. This should consume all my free time this weekend. I normally run a 3-display setup via HD4000 and a PCI-E HD 5450, but I'd just be happy to get dual display off the intel graphics.

How hard is it to get HDMI audio working with the HD 7xxx series? Last time i checked, i don't think it worked. I have a gigabyte h61ma-d2v motherboard that doesn't need a dsdt, i3 3220, HD 7870 tahiti, everything works fine apart from HDMI audio.

Thought so, although i reckon Nvidia cards would fare better due to being supported longer than the newer AMD ones. I'm glad everything else works. I spend the whole day setting it up, browsing the web for a few minutes then switching to Windows again.

Its so awesome with a 7 series Gigabyte board. Everything just works.

I figure I should just be able to swap the drive in when I want to play with OSX, and not risk loving anything up with partitioning. There's some bios settings that need to be set for mac, but they wouldn't hurt Windows for dual boot. Such as AHCI enabled, HPET setting, fast boot mode, etc. You wouldn't have to disable any onboard devices. Gigabyte is the easiest to install on, but practically any intel chipset mobo is doable if it's an i-series CPU. OEM desktops are harder, laptops are harder still, and AMD is where you'd have to really want it.

I got my system up and running 10.8.5 using a DH77KC (Intel brand) motherboard, but onboard ethernet isn't working, which is kind of a big deal. Should I: a) Give up, you'll never get it working b) Should have done something during the install c) You need to ________ Besides that, it seems to work fine. So far, it's only giving me 1 of 2 displays (using displayport and DVI on motherboard HD4000), but everything else is fine. I've got an i5-3750k, and it feels slower than my MBA, though I'd attribute that to the fact I installed it on a 2.5" HDD, and my mac is SSD. But it's been a fun project so far.

The speed is certainly a HDD vs SSD problem. Your processor is still going to keep your experience using programs a lot smoother, it just can't load them any faster.

I'm following the MyHack instructions and have got everything installed, but am getting a PCI Configuration error. The guide says the following:quote:Symptom: System hangs at “PCI configuration (begin/changed/end)” I've tried the flags, they didn't work, but I'm not exactly sure what I need to do for the IOPCIFamily.kext. Do I need to connect the drive I installed OS X on to my Mac and drop the file in that folder, then run myFix on that? I tried doing that before, and it prompted me to use a generic profile, or one of my choosing, but couldn't figure it out from there. I know this is a pretty common problem, but it's not really working how I think it should.

It shouldn't prompt you to use a profile if you're just running myfix (it will if you select "install an extra folder" but you don't need that.) Just drag your added kexts to extra/extensions and then run myfix on the volume. Alternatively you may need to just specify arch=x86_64 at boot time. I was getting similar errors recently on a computer I was trying to get running lion and it turned out it was due to it trying to boot into arch=i386. x86_64 fixed it.

Fair enough, I was just in a hurry to post for some reason and managed to poo poo on the thread. Sorry! With the Dell Mini 10v, though, you're stuck with an Atom so I guess we should be happy that someone went to the trouble of making the install packages for us. I'm stuck on 10.6.7, however, because reports indicate that the update can gently caress you up something shocking.

I can't seem to boot from the disk unless I have the USB stick I put the OS X installer inserted, select that, then manually select the volume from the prompt at the beginning. Otherwise it just boots into Windows no matter what disk I select (I have two SSDs and one HDD).

Have you installed chameleon on your osx drive yet? That won't necessarily fix your PCI issue (though it might) but you'll need to install the bootloader to your osx drive to be able to boot sans USB stick. If you're not booting osx from your hard drive, it doesn't matter what kexts you have in the osx drive's extra folder because it's not booting from the drive, it's booting from your USB stick. As far as the PCI issue goes, have you tried playing with your bios settings? Sometimes switching that stuff around will make it work, even if the bios settings you change aren't directly related to the PCI bus. But I think the problem might be that you are booting from the USB stick and not the hard drive, which means it isn't actually loading the PCI kext you have installed. wilfredmerriweathr fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Sep 24, 2013 |
