Trust me, it is illegal, and against the licensing of OSX. You don't "own" the software, you know. But it's not like anyone cares. Hell, I even downloaded OSX86, and it works fine.Sik wrote:I'm not sure of that. I think the main problem is that a Mac and a PC have completely different architechtures, so you need a completely (internally) different version of MacOSX for a PC (different processor if I'm not wrong, dammit ).King Of Chaos wrote:But, it's not exactly legal.tails92 wrote:Yes, it's possible to install Mac OS X on a normal PC, you just have to search for osx86.
I wouldn't worry about the legalities, as long as you don't update. If you really want it to be semi-legal, purchase a copy of OSX and use the key and stuff for the "legit" feel, other than breaking the agreement.
Another reason because I like CRT monitors over LCDs. I know, they're bigger and take up more power, but the former doesn't really annoy me and the latter doesn't make much sense when you aren't on, let's say, a laptop. Also all supported resolutions will always look properly, not stretched. CRT monitors often don't support very high resolutions, but I never go over 1024x768, so...Shiru wrote:It's very likely that it will be not multiple of 50 Hz, because only CRT monitors have 100 or 150 Hz refresh rate. Very likely that Windows sets 75 or 85 Hz which is much more common.

But in that case you could just use the legit copy directly, right?King Of Chaos wrote:I wouldn't worry about the legalities, as long as you don't update.

EDIT: add a header-safe option. You could do it in a per-game basis using a list. If a game is in the list, Regen should assume the header is OK and do exactly what it says. The main idea would be to make it able to run games with SRAM outside the $200000..$20FFFF area.
Sik is pronounced as "seek", not as "sick".
Apple restricts Mac OS X to make it run only on Apple computers. It isn't supposed to run on any other.
And it's perfectly possible to update hacked versions, but you need to do a bit of "magic" by copying kernel extensions from the previous version and applying some patches.
I've done it from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11, I've not used Leopard at all because the ones I installed it on all had 256mb of ram.
But really, if we want to talk about this, let's do it somewhere else as it could go too off-topic

Not as expensive as a legal WindowsAamirM wrote:Holy crap!!!
That is way too expensive for me.
The reported refresh rate is halved and VSync works respect to it, right? (exactly the opposite case to interlaced mode in consoles)Shiru wrote:I'm not sure that VSync will work with TV-out. 800x600 can be displayed through TV out, but it can't be displayed with TV timings directly.

Windows price is about same ($130 for Vista Home Premium SP1, $95 on Amazon for now). And you can get OEM version when buy new computer, it price will be included but much cheaper than retail versions anyway.Sik wrote:Not as expensive as a legal Windows
I don't know exactly, but I doubt that it will be 50 Hz.Sik wrote:The reported refresh rate is halved and VSync works respect to it, right?
