Mac OSX x86 on PC: and now a video! [Upd]

by linathael . Original by Arthur - 10/08/2005 21:03:35 CEST
The Apple Developer kit version of MacOSX x86 has indeed been fully cracked!
An anonymous source has sent us a video showing MacOSX x86 booting natively on a Pc notebook Mitac 8050D (Pentium-M 735/1.6GHz).
Boot Mac OS X 86 (Mpeg4 - 1,5 Mo) - [torrent] LINKS DELETED UPON APPLE LEGAL'S REQUEST
As you can see the boot phase is rather fast, and the error message at the end is simply due to an authorization error on the kext allowing PS/2 support.
[Upd]
Here is a second video showing the boot on the same hardware, the permission error was repaired. We can see the "About this Mac" panel, Apple System Profiler and CHUD prefpane showing information on the processor (frequency, cache etc...).
Boot Mac OS X 86 v2 (.mov - 11,5 Mo) - [torrent] LINKS DELETED UPON APPLE LEGAL'S REQUEST
[Update] - We've added torrent files for the 2 videos to relieve the stress on our server. If you use them, please keep seeding as long as possible, thank you.
