Hey everyone-

Just thought I'd share some packages I put together today- one based on Rekursor's Chameleon 2.0 RC5pre6 and one based on AsereBLN's RC4 1.1.9 mods. Just click to install and test the latest versions of Chameleon! :mrgreen:

Chameleon RC5 Prerelease Installer Packages

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/02/ ... aller.html

Download the Chameleon RC5 Installer Package
or
Download the Chameleon RC4 Installer Package (based on AsereBLN 1.1.9)

Edit 2010-02-16: Replaced AsereBLN 1.1.8 with 1.1.9.

So what are the differences between these two? Rekursor's and AsereBLN's RC4 1.1.7 . Is one more for Nvidia and the other ATI?

Take a look at AsereBLN's thread here for a full description of his changes:

Also, rekursor has been posting his progress in this thread on Insanelymac:

Both are great reads. :)

Is EFI different than chameleon? Is it just a different version like the difference between azure and rekursors?

It's a version of Chameleon RC3 with some special graphics tweaks- AsereBLN's is based on Chameleon RC4 & PC-EFI 10.5, so it may work better for some ATI cards than any of them so far. :mrgreen:

Will installing PC EFI 10.6 effect audio?

So we shouldn't install this if we already have Chameleon RC4, because we'll be going backwards? Or will this just change the efi 10.5 to 10.6 and leave chameleon RC4 installed?

It's personal preference- each of the newest P55 bootloaders has its ups and downs. Here are my initial findings based on a number of tests this evening. These are not the only pros/cons, but some I've noticed.

PC-EFI 10.6
PROS: More ATI card support, uuid fix
CONS: No restart fix

Chameleon RC5pre6 - Rekursor
PROS: Faster boot time, restart fix, uuid fix
CONS: Debug (click to continue) after Chameleon logo. Anyone know how to fix this?

Chameleon RC4 - AsereBLN 1.1.7
PROS: Restart fix, uuid fix, auto-memory recognition feature
CONS: No embedded theme, no updated public source

I'm really hoping when Chameleon RC5 comes out it will incorporate the best of all 3. But for now, we have a variety of options- there are more even than this, but I can't keep up! For more sources check out:
