Anybody know how to get MAC OSX Leopard working on a PC? I thought it was a simple install but I read you have to do some stuff first - didn't find out what that was lol

don't pirate an OS D:

I'll do what I like thanks. Does anyone know then?

you'll do what I say is okay on this board, and asking about this here is not okay

Also, the MacBook refresh was pathetic.

So because im part of this board I can't pirate? Don't think so. You knew fine well I wasn't talking about doing what I like on the board. That was just lame.

Oh shut the carp up. He was simply stating that when you're on this board talking about piracy is not ok as piracy probably goes against his terms of service.

If a domain manager were to see this he could easily and legally terminate Brad's domain name and effectively this board as well as the Wiki.

Go somewhere else to talk about stuff like this -- IM, PM, another board, whatever. The point is, it's not acceptable here.

Dude, I wasn't talking about piracy. I asked if anyone knew how to get Leopard working on a PC. From what I understand it is not piracy to do so, it is only a violation of the license agreement which means I get no help from them. Next time don't tell me to shut the carp up. I asked a decent question and a Mac fanboy was annoyed.

Running Leopard on a PC is an exploitation of a software hole, thus making it illegal. Anytime you use something for a purpose that it was not explicitly intended for it's generally considered illegal.

I think this most certainly qualifies as one of those cases. Don't go getting all bent out of shape because Brad asked you not to talk about this here. It may be a legitimate question or whatever, but it's questionable in terms of what can and can't be discussed on this board. I don't think it unreasonable at all of Brad to ask you not to talk about it here.

gb2 selling beys for ridiculous prices.

You aren't allowed to talk about illegal carp here, so please be more considerate and polite in the future.

Delete System32, it'll solve the problems that Leopard needs to be installed.

And thanks for the mac fanboy comment. god knows you know everything about me.

gb2/bed plz

Mystikal, enough. :\ Really.

also don't delete system 32

The part where it was specifically designed to run only on Apple machines. The only reason this is possible is because of a software loophole. Exploiting that loophole is, as I understand it, illegal.

When you install OS X, you agree to a license agreement which means you agree to only use it on Apple-branded hardware.

You really don't know what you're talking about here.

Here. Go talk about this there.

I really hate Mac. Of course, not so much game designer use Mac system. Its very powerless function and machine is ugly.

Thread over I guess.

On the issue of installing OSX on a non apple branded computer: It is not "illegal" in the sense that it is a violation of criminal law.
You can't be prosecuted for it.
However, if Apple discovers that you have done so, they do have a case to sue you for possible breach of contract, that beign the EULA that you agree to prior to installing, and loss of earnings resulting from your not buying a Mac.

The good news is that they most likely wouldn't bother. So long as you have a legitimate copy of OSX you've made them money that they otherwise would not have made. Additionally, it would not be worth their time bringing a lawsuit to court because the harm to their business is negligible or non-existant if you're using a legit copy, purchased from Apple.

From what I understand, it's probably best to run it as VMWare, so you have a virtual desktop within windows, which saves you killing your MBR and having to fish out the XP install disk to repair it.

Interestingly, the EULA actually states that you may only install OSX on an "Apple labelled" computer.
So, even if it went to court, you might be able to slap an Apple logo sticker on your PC and claim that as your defense.

It's not so much a legal issue as I don't think it's a great idea, haha.

Driver support is basically non-existant, that's the main hurdle. You tend to need very specific chipsets present to get it working at all.
I think there are significantly modofied versions, supplied with specialised installers, but that is going into the realm of piracy.

Well...Back on topic.
I'll be getting either a Macbook or Macbook Pro next summer. Hopefully a redesign will happen before then. My brother has Leopard on his Macbook and it seems a little buggy right now, but I think it will be a good improvement.

LOL, classic
