I couldn't wait for the newest version of Multibeast to fix my iMessage issues, so I went ahead last night and updated Chimera 2.0 via the standalone installer. Today I wanted to add in the FakeSMC plugins from Multibeast 5.2.1, but every time I try to install it fails: the kexts never show...

I'm running out of PCI Express slots on my motherboard, and can foresee needing connectivity for eSATA (since my flatmate wrecked the one built into my motherboard), USB 3.0 (since the current Multibeast kext hasn't ironed out all the issues for my built in Etron ports) and Firewire. The last...

I've done a clean install of Lion today, looking to get my USB 3.0 Superspeed ports up and running. Ran Multibeast and included the kext for USB 3.0 support, but whilst system profiler recognises the ports, and my drives mount, they are continually being disconnected, seemingly quite randomly...

I want to reinstall Lion for a few reasons, as I've got a few gremlins lurking around in my Extensions folder, and there's now a custom DSDT for my motherboard BIOS version. But I don't really want to have to reset all my user account settings and applications. Reinstalling using Unibeast is...

It's just happened for a 2nd time and both times corrupted the Snow Leopard install so I have to go back to...

Right, I've now built the hackintosh (my first). She's sitting next to me with the BIOS primed and ready to go. I'm picking up the Snow Leopard disk tomorrow and, after iBoot + MultiBeast, plan to go straight on to Lion. My question is, do I just get Snow Leopard up and running and then move...

I've been looking at fitting my Hackintosh build with a Radeon HD 5770 as per current Mac Pros, but notice the CustoMac builds, being more up to date, have newer cards. The Radeon 6850 appeals given it's about the same price, but the Gigabyte version in the CustoMac builds is trickier to get a...

I've been meaning to build a Hackintosh for video editing and graphics compositing for the best part of a year now. Since my Macbook Pro's blown its logic board and is off being repaired, it's time I go ahead and do it. But before I do, will all of this work? I'd be starting with Snow Leopard...
