InsanelyMac Forum > OS X for SSE (qemu) OS X for SSE Project Hi, This thread has been created for the purpose of exchanging information regarding OS X being emulated on SSE processors by using a lightweight linux distribution as a host, and the open-source application qemu to emulate the SSE2 instructions. The linux distribution will serve as a host for qemu and will be loaded into ram for maximum speed.
I have chosen Featherlinux as the current host distro because it is only 122mb in size, can fit into a small amount of ram, and has qemu pre-installed. So far there are 3 people working on this project. Project Information Aim: To get OS X emulated at the most usable speed possible, and create a DVD installer.Method: The Featherlinux CD will be altered to house a 10.4.8 installation dvd, the necessary scripts required to create the files for qemu (harddisk image) and scripts to launch the virtual harddrive or native harddrive in full screen mode at startup. Platform=X86PC "Graphics Mode"="800x600x16" -v Good luck,Dragon.
How I Got Mac OS X Tiger for Intel (x86) Working Great: September 8, 2005 Note: This guide has some material that is only for OS X for Intel 10.4.1, for installation and help with both the 8F1111 and 8F1099 seeds of 10.4.3 go here. The hardware section of this guide is good for all OS X for Intel seeds. In this guide I will describe and teach you how to install Mac OS X Tiger for Intel (x86) on your PC, with as few problems as possible. The Hardware When I first heard about a successful installation of Mac OS X Tiger for Intel (x86) (A.K.A. 1. After some researching I found this motherboard: ASRock 775Dual-915GL Micro ATX Intel Motherboard. 2. After some research, I figured it would probably be best to get an Intel CPU for two reasons. (1) The low-end CPUs in the Intel line had SSE3, while low-end AMD CPUs had only SSE2, and for my tight budget that makes Intel my friend. (2) It appeared that most problems people were having were only happening with non-Intel products.
Lets get started! X86 software.
