Back


Im back from yet another conference. Many new ideas spinning around my head at the moment. :)
The new apartment is almost ready, got some pics taken when we where there last time.

Nice windows, the view isnt much at this time. But all that mud is getting turned into a park.

In other news, busy with my driving license. Hopefully it will be done soon. :)

Now in stereo :D

Gotten the sound on the evil ICH8 to work. Heres a small guide i ripped from the forums.

1. Delete AppleHDA.kext:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
2. Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for matching codec's proper ID:
sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist
in Realtek ALC880/ALC860 Codec Driver key
change the string to:
0x11d41988
3. Edit AppleAzaliaController.kext for matching ICH8 HDA interface proper ID:
sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist
Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w):
IOPCIPrimaryMatch
change the string to:
0x284b8086
4. Refresh kext caches
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/
5. reboot

Mac OSX86 up and running

Well im back to posting after quite an adventure installing Mac OS X onto my standard grey PC.
http://forum.insanelymac.com Is a great resource for this kinda hacking.
A bit of fiddling with the ethernet at first, but someone was nice enough to have written a driver for the realtek chipset. :)

Next thing was to get my extra ATA133 controller card working, looked around and found out the ven id: 105A and the dev id: 4D69. Now all I had to do was hack it into the correct .kext file.

Only thing remaining is the damn Intel HDA for sound. I guess its gonna be a all nighter for this one. :-(

Wiiiii

Well i passed the damn driving license exam, barely. ;)
Not much new on the front, playing around with OSX86 on my new computer. I'll update with results in a few when its up and running. :)

New company blog up.

Over and out.
