Get MacOS 10.4.9 on an Ordinary PC

Geez, Apple is not making it making it MUCH harder for software hobbyists (who like to live on the other side of the law) who want to boot OSX on an ordinary PC.

To summarize you need to download an illegal 10.4.8 patched OS image file from a torrent site, make sure your system is SSE3 compatible, if it isn’t then you need to load a hacked kernel, then find a reloaded combo update to 10.4.9, load that, and then you are good

At this point it makes more sense to just get a Mac mini (or even an easily hackable AppleTV) if you want to run the MacOS. However, if you want to live on the edge you can find out all the gory details on how to run the MacOS on an ordinary PC, you can do so here.

    And even before then, when it was the osx86project. But I think uneasy has been following it since the beginning.
