Running Mac OS X

AsphyxiA · 04-20-2006, 10:05 PM

so i snagged a copy of a patched and iso'd version OS X x86 in hopes to dual boot it with my current winxp setup. Well im having problems, i put the cd in. The Darwin screen comes up. After i click the boot to os x x86 the white screen with the Apple logo comes up and loads. It takes forever to get past this, then the screen goes black and i get a lot of garble messages at the top left of the screen.

It isn't compatible with NF4 chipsets. You can still run it in VMWare from within windows though.

Heres my main rig running it in VMWare:
