Asshats

Shameless advertising

The main page will be updated again, For if you would like to help out,

But if any people come to my page and wish to buy the p6t and have not already,

Click Here first

then click here to get the p6t. at a discount. For one this is the best price I could find for in my opinion the best board. And also helps me out a little bit. (shameless I know.)

As a note you must sign up as a new customer, So just make a new account even if you ordered there before.

A couple Of updates, FakeSMC, Alc1200 on 10.6.4 and minor stuff

First off the main to fixes are the Alc1200 and the fakesmc update,

From this forum comes the audio fix which i will describe a little bit. Also on projectosx is the updated fakesmc i grabbed.

basically what we have now, is HDAEnabler inside DSDT, (before it was inside the applehda.kext

So in our /Extra/Extensions folder there is a legacy kext.

Also the AppleHDA in /System/Library/Extensions is still modded, but very very slightly.


If this sounds alot more complicated it isn't If you want to go with the new way of sound for alc1200 here are benefits.

7.1 surround,
headphone plugging should work?

the only downfall at the moment is the 10.6.4 patched kext will die after an update, I could do similar like I did on the applehda10.6.2.kext, but I am hoping a solution before that.




So if you are tired of my rambling and want to install the updates.

down 2.0.9.1 pack.

Delete Applehda.kext in System/Library/Extensions/ And drag the one In the root of the folder
(ignore errors about being installed wrong, just run pfix when we are done)

Replace /Extra/Extensions/ And DSDT with ones from the pack.

Run pfix, reboot and enjoy.

A start on a common issues section

First off I want to say thanks everyone who reads my blog, I am glad people actually care what I have to say and offer. :)

secondly. In the first step of common issues to resolve I am going to go over 2 common issues I noticed.

1. When installing myhack from usb installer, I noticed that people just get a blinking cursors. please make sure your usb stick has the partition format of MBR. Click on the partition Tab, in disk utility, then click options.

Most USB sticks don't come with any scheme. This should solve the majority of people with that issue.


2. Second quick fix for graphics issues.

Make sure to use graphics disabler when installing myhack to usb
remember dual cards work, But sli, and crossfire do not.
ATI users, you rely on netkas.org

Nvidia users should be fine with just the GraphicsEnabler=Y section in the com.apple.Boot.plist.
Another option is to use efi strings (see my dual card tutorial as it applies to one card as well)
Another option is to edit DSDT. And the 3rd is to use NVenabler.kext

Personally the GraphicsEnabler is probably the cleanest. I personally Use efi strings for my dual cards.

The first 3 options are the same, except for NVenabler which offers some additional features over just "injecting"

Last but not least. if you run into gfx issues (garbly screen, black screen at boot)

Boot with -s flag (single user mode)

type:
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ATI*

now you will need to reinstall those graphics kexts eventually. but at least you will be able to boot. try that only as a last resort if safe mode (-x flag) does not work.

I'm sorry I've been neglecting my duties, here are some updates.

First off layout of blog changed, new poll, go ahead and vote!
I plan to be around a little more lately, get back more involved, so give me feedback on a direction to take!

On another note;
If anyone noticed for a little while on the site I had tried the adsense.
I didn't really want to do it, but i figured I would give it a try.

But there is something even better you can do! and it wont cost you a thing.

Visit the following link  Help ME!  at the moment it's just a pastebin link, but Check back today/tomorrow if it was a pastebin link for updates. Any questions in comments.

(I am an affiliate, and you are helping me by promoting my affiliate code)
of course even better if you want these services use my code, but if you do that, contact me first as I can email you better ones most likely. :)

updating to 10.6.4

Updated should be the same as 10.6.3

if your using my pack you should be all set (you at users know you rely on netkas)

if audio does not work delete both applehda1062 and applehda or whichever one(s) you have.

drag that to extensions and run pfix.

Tutorial For installing Mac OS X snow leopard on a p6t

Preparation

You're going to need a few things for this installation. They are:

• OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 Installation DVD
• 8GB Flash Drive (or larger)
• P6T based Intel Core i7 System
• A functioning OS X environment
• My pack for for 2.0.6 (Scroll Down)
• MyHack Installer

Getting Started

Note: If you've gone into your BIOS and disabled Hyper Threading and additional cores, you can go back in and enable them. The included DSDT.aml file is already patched for 4 cores + HT. Also please enable C-State C6, not auto. Also of course enable AHCI instead of IDE mode.

Because the installation is going to be restored to a flash drive, the first thing you need to do is format the flash drive. Open up Disk Utility and format it using the GUID partition scheme and HFS+ file system (this is selected by default usually). Make sure to give it a name (preferably a short one that's easy to type as you'll be using it later). See screenshots below:

After you've formatted your flash drive you'll need to restore the Snow Leopard DVD to it. Insert your Snow Leopard DVD and open up Disk Utility. Here you'll select Mac OS X Install DVD from the list and click the Restore tab. Then click and drag "Mac OS X Install DVD" to the source text box and your formatted flash drive volume (here it's called Installer) to the destination text box. Uncheck Erase Destination then click Restore.

Next launch the myhack installer that you have downloaded. Proceed through the installation process. Before you click install make sure to change destination to the flash drive!

From there click install. Next unzip my 2.0.6 p6t pack, And drag the entire /Extra folder my the root of the flash drive. It should replace and /Extra folder that is already there.

Now you want to reboot and start the computer from usb, Once the installation has started, Format your hard drive, click install. You format by going to the top menu bar, click on disk-utility, And formatting more or less like we did the flash drive.

When you come back, You must boot from USB AGAIN. But this time hit the arrow keys before the timeout, in order to select the hard drive you just installed to. The reason for this is because there is no boot-loader installed on your hard drive yet. Once you booted and got set up, Run the myhack installer again. Selecting your hard drive this time. Then you will want to drag my p6t 2.0.6 pack and replace the boot file, and the /Extra folder. Also drag the AppleHDA kexts I have to System/Library/Extensions. Before reboot go to Applications/Utilities And launch terminal. We want to run the program "pfix" to repair permissions. When this is done. reboot and enjoy!
