    NVIDIA GTX280 / 285 w. High Sierra

    Is the purpose of this to enable the web drivers? When I booted with OpenCore the first time I received two system integrity alerts for the extensions: NVIDIA driver (and a driver for a black magic capture card)

    NVIDIA GTX280 / 285 w. High Sierra

    Thank you for the heads-up! I’ve switched now to OpenCore as bootloader (via Clarkdale guide) which has also really helped as a learning process. Currently I have two USB sticks with both bootloaders: In Clover I can see analogue composite TV output of OSX without hardware acceleration or the...

    NVIDIA GTX280 / 285 w. High Sierra

    Hello, I'm doing some experiments with older MOBOs and GPUs with TV-Out that I've picked up from flea markets. I've successfully got High Sierra booting on a Foxconn H55MXV and installed NVIDIA web drivers to go with a Palit GTX285. Now I'm stuck when attempting without nv_disable. Currently...

    UniBeast: Install OS X El Capitan on Any Supported Intel-based PC

    Would it not be a good idea to include a reference or link the Clover Configurator somewhere in this guide? It was an invaluable tool for me and really helped clarify the differences between Clover and Chameleon (ie. I was searching high and low for the /Extra folder).

    Hi there, second build and first time contributing here. First build now El Capitan'd and sold to a friend. Entered into this newer build gung-ho and realised that perhaps the official compatibility list is skewed toward using us as guinea pigs... so kudos to that if it's the case. Hope this...

    Dual Boot: setting active partition breaks Windows 7

    When resizing it I reformatted to FAT so that I could do a fresh install (NTFS format from installer etc). This is when I started getting the error, and I've tried reformatting to FAT each time. This is the same process as I used for installing the 32bit version... I really want to put off...

    Dual Boot: setting active partition breaks Windows 7

    So you mean to say I should boot into Lion (through USB) after I've installed Windows 7 then run MultiBeast to set the permissions/ boot order? I'd like to try that but now I've another problem; each time I try to install Windows I get this message mid-way through: "Windows cannot install...

    Dual Boot: setting active partition breaks Windows 7

    Hi all, really annoying problem here; I had a dual-boot of Lion & Windows 7 (32bit) via UniBeast working fine on a 128GB SSD. I used Window's own fdisk to set the Lion partition as active because I installed Win7 after Lion. Later I realised I should've installed the 64bit version to take...

    Dual Boot: active partition doesn't work, mach kernal

    Hi there, I managed to get Win7 and Lion up and running on a single SSD. I reset the active partition in Windows, but I still wouldn't boot into Chimera without my USB, so I went into Lion and followed the terminal commands in here; http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2009/11/ ... -snow.html I'm...
