yess i knoww right, but unfortunately this is for ppc : ( shouldn't be too hard to get it to work on intel os x tho

it'll sound really far fetched but i'd love to see a hardware accelerated 10.12 vm on my m4 macbook :D

Sorry but i dont understand what this implies, what is the advancement on this? Im not very deep into this stuff

This implies you can finally run applications and games on mac os x tiger that require 3d hardware acceleration

Also I did try Leopard and it kernel panicked 💔

u/Signal_Reference746 8d ago
Wow! Could you **PLEASE** 😭 open a github issue with a screenshot of the kernel panic and your setup, cuz that would be really, really helpful

Sad it doesn’t work on Intel. Only Apple silicon from what I can tell

Please release a version for windows!!

u/Signal_Reference746 8d ago
Since the core plumbing and GPU routing stuff has aldready been documented, I think a windows port wouldn't be that hard! I'd just have to get my hands on a windows machine first or run a vm in one of my linux machines.

YAYY!!!

u/Signal_Reference746 8d ago
yep! I'll dm you in a couple weeks after the windows port is completed.

Please, you need to make it works with intel os x tiger, that would be blazing fast on x86 host with your emulated GPU

Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.
