iPortable Snow OSx86 10.6.2 Bootable USB image [Intel SSE2/SSE3]

iPortable Snow x86 optimized Mac OSX 10.6.2 Snowleopard CopyCatX MBR image for generic Intel PCʼs (32/64bit) and (SSE2/SSE3) or higher.. Based on previous and never released iPortable 10.5.8 and Hazard’s patched Snowleopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 and Snowleopard Server 10.6.2 distro, Empire EFI and MyHack releases... Re-ripped, tweaked and optimized by ProtocolX to make it booting on a lot of Intel chipset PC'[s! Read carefully !!! AMD not yet supported.. Intel only [SSE2/SSE3] or higher.. English and Dutch only !! All other system languages and left over PPC architectures are removed !! You can always re-install more languages very easy.. - NO APPLE SOFTWARE IS REMOVED IN THIS EDITION!! This is a full Mac OSX Snowleopard 10.6.2 installation! No account is created, registration screen will be loaded at first boot. (Only removed big file is Alex’s voice) -ALL VIDEOKEXTS ARE REMOVED FROM SYSTEM!! To prevent booting problems on serveral systems. They are zipped and moved to: Hackintosh tools/Snow Drivers/Video Drivers/Removed Video Kexts... Use Kexthelper B7 to re-install your videokexts before trying enabling graphics. - DEFAULT BOOT MODE IS 32BIT!! The default bootmode of this iPortable Snow is 32bits. So it can run even on an old Intel SSE2 processor. (SSE3 is recommended..) But no 64bit code is removed offcourse... You always can still use this Snowleopard in full 64bits mode. To enable 64bit in Snowleopard Type in bootloader: arch=x86_64 (Boot in 32/64bits mode) or -force64 (Force booting in 64bit) Included Applications - EZ 7z - KCNScrew - LiquidCD - Property List Editor - Smultron - Stuffit Expander - Transmission - UnRARx - BetterZip Included Utlities - Appcleaner - Carbon Copy Cloner - CopyCatX - Diskwarrior 4.2 - Clonetools H1 OSx86 Hackintosh Tools 32-64-bit Kernel Startup Mode Selector AMD Patcher (leo) About This Mac Modifier AnyToISO 2.5.1 - Keygen AnyToISO AppleHDAPatcherv1.20 BootCDMaker Bootloaders CPU-X CPU-i ChangeVisibility Checksum Custom DVD SlimbuildGUI-1 DPCIManager DSDT Patcher GUI DSDTSE Disk Order DisplayUtility EFI partition Mounter EFIStudio 1.1 EFiXUpdater EvOToolsX (snow) Extensions-Repair Gfx Utilities HexEditors Hide Folders INSTAHackintosh (beta) IORegistryExplorer IPObserver Kernel64Enabler Kext Helper b7 Kext Utility KextSpy KextStatInfo KeyViewer Lizard MKextTool-1.0 MSR Tools Man Viewer Marvin's AMD Utility v.25 NVCAP Maker 1.4 NetbookBootMaker 0.8.3 NetbookInstaller 0.8.3 RC4 Network Diagnostics OSx86 Update OSx86tools PPCKextsRemover PPF-O-Matic PPFMaster Pacifist PackageMaker PartitionsList PlistEdit Pro Pref Setter Preferential Treatment Property List Editor 2.2 Quartz Debug QuartzSimple Repair & Set Permissions scripts RepairKexts Permission SMART Utility SpindownHD Super_PI SwitchResX Control USB Prober UUIDGenerator Universal Checker Universal OSx86 Installer Winclone freeMem iASLMe iPatch mCoreTest64 mkextMaker unHiddenIT Included Kernels: chocolate_kernel anv_kernel atom_kernel legacy_kernel blackknight_kernel mach_kernel Powered by Chameleon 2.0 RC4 r684 bootloader By ProtocolX Other resolution: Graphics Mode 1280x1024x32

When I boot I get "error parsing plist"
Whats wrong?

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-06)

I have that too on my Hackintosh to one of mine internal harddrives...
But it's booting....
You're iPortable won't boot?

theteamnfo (2010-02-07)

It boots to a small logo of iPortable Snow, but nothing else happens. When I try to enter a command, the message "Error parsing plist" show up.

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-07)

Did you already installed 'iPortable Bootfix'?included in the 'First Aid' package?
If you did already, you may have to do the cloning proces again on a clean formatted disk or USB pendrive...
Sometimes I did have that error also... But most of the times it worked right away...
It also can be that your motherboard isn't compatible...

ivan9898 (2010-02-07)

This really works! Thanks, PROTOCOLX ... Follow the instructions and you all make
well, iPortable will work ... I had to install only boofix ... Again, thank you!

hauptoon (2010-02-08)

salü
PROTOCOLX great work
I'm really very surprised to have already tried many things but this is really so much more.
I have a question about graphic resolution as I can reach higher than 1024 * 768th
Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce 8400 gs 256 ram.
with DSTD patcher I have already tried but did not help the resolution is simply too small.
many thanks

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-08)

Simple instruction:
1. Go to the 'Hackintosh Tools' folder on root..
2. Go to Snow Drivers/Video Drivers/Removed Videokexts..
3. Unzip RemovedGraphicsKexts.zip
4. Drag all kext files into Kexthelper B7 (OSx86tools folder) password.. reboot
5. Remove framebufferdisabler.kext from 'Extra' 'extensions' folder. reboot.
6. copy com.Apple.Boot.plist from 'Removed Video Kexts' folder to 'Extra' folder.. (Remove the old one) reboot
7. No Resolution change? You should edit the new com.Apple.Boot.plist
8. Open com.Apple.Boot.plist with textedit and change the following value
GraphicsEnabler
y
PciRoot
1
INTO:
GraphicsEnabler
y
PciRoot
0
So you only change the 1 into a 0... :)
Save it to your desktop with extension .plist!
Replace the older one in 'Extra' folder on root.
Reboot!
You don't should have only resolution change now but also CI/QE !!!
Succes!!

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-08)

You may have to reboot with -v -f

hauptoon (2010-02-09)

Thanks for the time being, the rapid information
I, like you had tried to describe it to me and now I have a bit more idea how it works here.
unfortunately I could not achieve the desired resolution.
So I've noticed that if the settings with the ...
1. Go to the 'Hackintosh Tools' folder on root ..
2. Go to Snow Drivers / Video Drivers / Removed Videokexts ..
3. Unzip RemovedGraphicsKexts.zip
4. Drag all kext files into Kexthelper B7 (OSx86tools folder) password .. reboot
5. Framebufferdisabler.kext Remove from 'Extra' extensions' folder. reboot.
6. com.apple.boot.plist copy from 'Video Removed kext' folder to 'extra' folder .. (Remove the old one), reboot
7. No resolution change? You should edit the new com.apple.boot.plist
8. Open com.apple.boot.plist with textedit and change the following value
GraphicsEnabler
y
PciRoot
1
INTO:
GraphicsEnabler
y
PciRoot
0
had made, the system is indeed high gerfahren but only a black screen.
With-v-f I also tried but the salad itself

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-09)

It may also work...
(If the previous method didn't work...)
To generate a EFI string with EFI studio
Choose your videocard in this program
DO THIS IN MAC OSX LEOPARD 10.5!! OTHERWISE THE STRING WILL NOT BE GENERATED CORRECT!!
Copy this EFI string into the com.Apple.Boot.plist that is located on root in 'Extra' folder...
This should work!

hauptoon (2010-02-09)

good morning PROTOCOLX
I try my level of English through the underside ... "make intelligible"
I finally made it almost at the moment with a resolution of (1152 * 720)
I tried with Efistudio and entered into bootplist black display no way.
Then I tried again with the original form of the first solution from you, and it worked.
now my question, I dare not change the resolution to say that I have of course tried few times already ...
Can someone please tell me how can I create an image of the current system so that I can easily restore later) at the wrong angle adjustment, or (kernel panics as before.
best of all I would like to have a bootable image as the original iPortable Snow OSx86 image 10.6.2 Bootable USB,,, is it possible?

hauptoon (2010-02-09)

I'm really interested with the system really works as a flower order is possible ..
I am with Ikatos 7 and updates from iDeneb 10.5.8, it runs really stable and it can perform many functions there without immediately making silly.
Especially for audio applications.
Well sure, I have also surfed a whole month amok, had then also quite noll idea about the mac.
Can you tell me whether the (64-bit can be used) without any problems with the graphics and kernel panics caused.
I have previously tried with 64bit and it was no problem, it was only when I changed the resolution of the graphics card not working any more.
But then the solution is very simple you just have not (yet com.apple.boot.plist)
bring on the original state. it is best to secure the original (com.apple.boot.plist) to a different drive or USB stick.

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-09)

64bit can't be used without any issues...
Fact is that most real Apple system are running 32bits.... It can work... But you must know sure that the .kexts that you're using are 64bit compatible, otherwise you will get Kernel Panic!
You can also force resolution with typing in Chameleon bootmenu:
"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" -v

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-09)

CopycatX.. You can make you're very own image with that software...
It's included in Utlities folder.. I've made iPortable image with it..
Now you can make you're own image with this software!
Note: You have to do this from a different OSX installation!

hauptoon (2010-02-09)

thank you mister, I'm going to try whit Copcatx

hauptoon (2010-02-09)

Copycatx works really well when restoring from backup 100% result
the only problem there is always the graphic resolution.
In making any attempt to change the entire system shall larm.
Real shame but we'll think of something.
Is it perhaps in my video card NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS 256 Ram?
stay in touch

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-09)

But you have now CI/QE?
And resolution change in menu?
You can try to change it in safemode (-x) and maybe then it' working...

hauptoon (2010-02-12)

CI / QE?
how can I make these changes?
With Efi studiu've already got under mac osx 10.5.8 then tries to change the entries in the (com.apple.boot.plist) so I can only under safe mode-x to the system clean and there can be no resolution to change more .
Perhaps you have other suggestions.
The EfiStudio in 10.5 with the following've made, called Efistudio from the snow Iportable drive under 10.5.8 then Nvidia geforce 8400 selected device will write to add com.apple.boot.plist.
And Thanks for Copycatx exactly something I wanted so I can create by other OSX Image.
The resolution is important to me in so far as stable functioning of certain applications such as audio only under specified resolution.

hauptoon (2010-02-12)

"Graphics Mode" = "1280x1024x32"-v
These keystrokes, I can not run, unfortunately, because the character ( ") on the keyboard is not possible" only under the current system.
Great

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-12)

Maybe you can copy/paste this from other install.. into the .plist in the 'Extra' folder on root..
Graphics Mode
1280x1024x32

PROTOCOLX (2010-02-12)

check description down.. on this torrent..
I added some part of the com.Apple.Boot.plist..

What's the password for sudo?

hauptoon (2010-02-15)

It really bugs me.
with Leohazar but I have tried the same problem
With the "Graphics Resolution"
Iportable at least works.
But Leohazard because I keep getting the problem with ...
or sometimes with JmcronATA: B363, and sometimes not
I have already tried a lot of real "fuck"
I just let the fingers of times because I find it very slowly, much is creativity.
With Ikatos and updates combu iDeneb 10.5.8 runs very well.
Well, I'll wait times on I've been able to initialize represent many mistakes.
Or perhaps it happened a miracle.
Stay at work

The sudo password should be your own password! Because I've haven't created one! But if you have skipped the registration I have too had weird thing that I wasn't able to login!

hauptoon (2010-02-24)

Hey Proto
Finally I have the right resolution and then goes.
You may want to try generating an EFI string using OsX86Tools. You will see the option in the software to create a new string, allowing the ability to create your own custom video card, and not use on of the ones already generated. It gives you the option to enter the resolution you want. I was able to generate an EFI string to make my resolution go to 1680x1050x32@60hz. Find out what the limits are on your card, such as resolution and refresh rate.
I know there is a tutorial on how to do this, step by step, if I find it, I will post a link on here. But try it yourself first.
Basically:
Open OsX86Tools
Create new EFI String
I believe there is an option for video output
Enter the name of your card in, or choose a preexisting one if your card is listed.
Enter the resolution you want the EFI string to have, then there is a button to have it placed within your system, i can't remember the name of it.
Restart your computer... again sorry these are vague instructions...
Nice time

Hi,
I want to thank you for the great job you did with iportable. A very fast and easy way to install successful snow leopard on pc.
I used it on my Dell studio 1557. After some trials i got native screen resolution using raedonhd kext. Now my video card, ati mobility radeon 4570, it's well recognized as Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series in system profiler, but there are some problems:
in system profiler the video card its recognized with 256mb vram memory, but when i try to install final cut studio 3, the installer says I have 0 mb vram (really the video cards has 512mb), it also says I have no quartz extreme. I tried to disability system requirement checker, but final cut crashes soon after during opening.
What can I do?
Please help me, I need final cut *_*
Thank you!!!

hauptoon (2010-02-26)

Hi guys really cool number Iportable beats all records it works amazingly well and easily.
Mach_Kernel Boot für Intel core (TM) 2 Quad CPU 6600
In system profiler shows that the CPU is a quad-core Intel Xeon, instead of Intel Core (TM) 2 Quad Q6600
I have registered with the mach_kernel boot of OSX, it runs until the login window and then I just get a blue screen.
With lizard tool I have ever tried there is the kernel registered as chocolate deafault kernel.
Any idea why this is so

hi Protoclox
may you can help me i try to instal FakeSMC 2.5
but befor i have to delete the DSMOS ketx but i cant find it .
You by the start in -v modus have some
Error FakeSMC key not found.
Thanks for any idea

PROTOCOLX (2010-03-03)

iPortable Snow contains a bug... It cannot boot in 64bits modus... It will result in blue screen... That is the reason why mach_kernel will not work.... :(
iPortable Snow x86 is really x86 now...
Soon I post the fixed version as a Clonezilla image, so it can be installed also by people who don't have a working OSX...
Also very soon a OSx86 Bootable Utilities 2.4 beta...

PROTOCOLX (2010-03-04)

But further everything works just fine...!
It's the very fast on my old pentium 4 PC!
Restarts within 3 seconds!! Snowleopard is really fast!

hauptoon (2010-03-05)

Hi mister Tocolx
So now I want your new date and that it is true it works pretty well.
And all without the man the whole stupid driver selection.
Of course, man can do a few things to improve it will still be rocking
Example:
mach-kernel
64bit function
And supplemental applications like ..
FakeSMC 2.5
I can hardly wait for the news from you .Clonezilla image,
a Bootable OSx86 Utilities 2.4 beta ...
Come on man do something Tocolxy . But more important is to be healthy and happy.

Stone-D (2010-03-08)

Is there an alternative to using copycatx? I've tried writing the image to my flash drive and my external drive - both resulted in success, but with "Invalid b-tree node size" errors. Fsck doesn't want to know, and diskwarrior gives up. This is immediately after restoring with copycatx!!!
Is the image corrupt or what? Do I have to create a partition of a specific size?

PROTOCOLX (2010-03-09)

@Stone-D, Sorry there no other way but CopyCatX... The image isn't corrupt...
I think maybe your destination size is too small...
@pyramid22

I think you have to copy the original Alex voice from the original image of SnowLeopard. .
I don't know if I'm gonna put Alex voice in the next Windows/PC release...
Maybe I can upload the voice of Alex as new torrent apart from the next release..

dayk (2010-03-25)

Hi Tocolx,
can u make tutorial for make an usb bootable under windows system???
coz i don't have any Osx installed on my system.
anybody heeeelllllllllllppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!
-sorry for my bad english-

PROTOCOLX (2010-04-15)

Very soon I shall upload iGenius II
(Snowleopard 10.6.3 edition)
This will be a Universal installer based on a Linux distro that can be installed installed on from almost any computer PC or Mac.
It will not only run PC's but also on real Mac's...
With some luck it will run also on some AMD systems as well...
It's almost finished... But need to be tested...

Followed ProtocolX's instructions ; installing the image to a USB External Hard drive on a 11GB partition, the rest of the space on the drive open as storage. Setup boot from USB dev in BIOS, and it won't boot. Maybe the two partitions is the problem, because I did include the MBR option when I partitioned and erased the drive.
I just get a blinking curser... no boot splash screen. Did the iPortable bootfix, but have not tried the G-Parted Live CD yet.

jalavera (2010-06-23)

Hi! I installed iPortable snow and runs ok, but I have an obscure question about Chameleon booloader.
When enter with 'mach_kernel" with the built-in 'iPortable version' in Mac Properties it say 'Mac Pro' and I'm using Core 2 Quad-xeon processor.
Otherwise if reinstall Chameleon (same version) included in iPortable Loaders with same flags, kernel and .plist it says 'Pentium 4' and only 'Mac' not 'Mac Pro'. Anyone knows why?
Thanks

hola, i have a nVidia "9800gtx +" 512mb (asus p5q pro), and i cant get it running. searched the web, appearantly many ppl got the same problem. there are some solutions that are meant to work, but none of them did really do the trick at mine...
im wondering if there isnt a poss to write an accurate driver for the 9800 series, since too many ppl have that issue, some are lucky, but most are as desperate as I with a res of 1024x168 one one screen only...
any idea of a help? or someone fancy to do a working kext for them? ty
the rest of the iportable is fab, works nice, so thanks for that one!
