That guys said they sell computers with efi v8 emulator..

They forgot to mention author of emulator, so it’s looks like they made efi v8.

But u know who did it (http://netkas.org/?p=41)

So, this is violation of my authorship rights on pc efi v8.

pc_efi v8 now had been reloaded, and includes very basic license

which denies any commercial using. also updated with actual smbios.

can be found in topic of channel #leopard in irc.osx86.hu

it maybe usefull information for owner of radeonhd 3800/2600 card with overheating problem.

after digging a bit i managed to open 2600XT mapro’s bios image in Radeon Bios Editor

(google://RBE.exe)

and here is screenshot about supported state (which is for powerplay)

so idea is to try to edit Mhz for 2d state. good luck

Do it on your own risk.

Some users reported me coreplayer doesn’t work on hacks

after investigating it a bit, I found it comes from smbios

exactly - the way how  IOPlatformSerialNumber is set.

now it’s fixed, u can grab kext here - http://tinyurl.com/264tgm

this also makes second life to work on hacks.

ahh…. u all will have same serial number with this kext (as with old one tho)

funny thing - some apps uses this values as user number.

It’s in #10.5 channel topic on irc.osx86.hu

ToH kernel with fixed shutdown (and reboot).

Update: speedstep-less kernel, which can sleep, added to irc.

P.S. for  intel/amd sse2/sse3

This is a natit for Radeon hd cards.

works with Radeon HD 3870×2, 3870, 3850 , 2600pro, 2600XT

added support for all known 2×00 3×00 device-ids, jsut in case. maybe

somebody will be able to get working framebuffer on 3600 or etc.

New natit

For 2600pro/3850 need to install white menu fix (to /System/Library/Extensions)

Note to 3870X2 users, your card will work as two 3870(just like two 2600XT in MacPro),

in case u have more then 2 dvi ports.

otherwise it will work as one 3870.

Full pkg for 3870X2 is available on IRC.

P.S irc://irc.osx86.hu #radeonhd

P.S.S. we hit half-million visitors(and around 800000 vists).

Yeah, one core only tho.

This situation is identical to having crossfire system booting OSX.

OSX can’t use crossfire, so key have to be set only for one display device.

here is screenshot of IOregistry explorer explains it a bit

And here is sshots of working system

because of need to set keys for only one display device, current natit can’t work with

ATIRadeonX2000.kext, but gfx-string can !

also ATIRadeonX2000.kext need some patching(use any hex editor and replace
07 95 with 0F 95, it will make all 9504-950f cards works (lol))
and adding 0×950f1002 devid to plist

Thanks to blackknight for creating gfxstring, making tests and screenshots.

GFX-strings stuff for 3870 x2

This new natit automaticaly dumps your video bios and inserts it to ioreg, no need to hardcode it anymore.

Also here is support for 3870 x2 (framebuffer only) and 3650(no tested, jsut added).

3850 ,2600pro users - get a white menus fix from #radeonhd topic on irc://iphun.osx86.hu

new natit

There is a lot of same questions, to answer them all i wrote little status report

1) 2400 mobility doesn’t work with internal display

2) working Radeon HD cards for osx - 2600 XT, 2900 XT/pro, 3870.

3) Cards needs some fixes (like2600pro fix or devid edit)  2600pro, 3850

4) Speedstep kernel can’t sleep, stop asking about it.
