Run Mac OS on Windows via flash drive
« on: December 21, 2006, 02:10:53 AM »
Mac-on-Stick

Mac-on-Stick is a project that explains how to load Mac OS Classic 7.0.1 onto a portable device using the minivmac emulator. It takes a few steps and is more appropriate for the technically-minded, but is quite an interesting experiment.

Use Mac on Windows and Linux and even Pocket PC.  http://nothickmanuals.info/doku.php?id=minivmac

so you can run mac OS 7 YAY! No that was back when macs still used 680x0 processors (Pre-PowerPC days) so it will not do much, if you can still find software for OS 7 (compare to finding Software for Windows 3.1)

It's is me Kyle... I had to post under that weird name because I lost my login info for my old account (this one)... I found it thanks to Bob...

Oh hey Sasha! Oh and yes even if you purchased it it is still illegal to install it on non-apple hardware, it is stated in the Intel OS X EULA that you agree to upon installing that you are only allowed to run it on Apple hardware  :P

EDIT: oh and im sure apple is going to break all illegal installs with the upcoming 10.4.9 update

well tech Im not sure about in a virtual environment, I would guess if it will install without you having to hack it than you are safe :) Actually that is the big deal, in order to install it on non-apple systems you have to apply a hack to the kernel to get it to run and that is the illegal part that violates the EULA

You stated it is illegal to run OS X on non apple hardware, (because it would need to be hacked...) but the virtual environment would simulate apple hardware using your own PC's hardware, no hack would be needed, so would all of this still apply???

justin if the virutal enviroment can emulate an entie apple machine (powerPC or intel) you should be able to install MacOS X. And IF it would not require a Hack and therfore not violate the EULA I guess it would be legal (im not a legal expert though)

However to my knowledge there is no Virtual machine software that can pull this off (The installer still detects that it is not apple hardware and refuses to install)

Bob, if they do not update to 10.4.9 they will not recieve security updates, or updates to Quicktime and iTunes, iLife etc


Running a hacked version of OS X is illegal!  >:( >:( Apple will break it with every release and is developing new technology for leopard to stop this. End of Discussion!! >:( >:(

Mac,
I believer there is a difference between a "hacked" version and a modified version.
The latter being a legal copy modified to run on my system.  :)
