alright, so i will try this, and if it doesnt work then do i try the voodoo kernel?

As of right now, this is all experimental. I'm using CS3 so I haven't had these problems so far. I'm only imposing knowledge to try to help you with your problem.

I would use Marvin's AMD Utility if it is an App that is already installed. If you have the Installer and all the necessary other files for it all in a folder, drag the folder onto the Patcher icon and let it work. It may be telling you that the resource path isn't able o be found because the files it requires cannot be found.

Aydinz · #13 10-25-2008, 04:25 AM

so in the end will both methods either using the patcher or marvin's utility be just as succesful as each other?

both have the same purpose... but with different searching abilities. Marvin's is more extensive because it looks into everything but Patcher is unique in that it recreates the installer after looking for the CPUIDs. understand what they are looking for and you'll know what they are doing. CPUIDs are simple pieces of code in a file that tell the system what kind of CPU they require in order to be run properly.

These are not quick fix options, these are simply ways of finding a way around a problem.

Do you still have the install file... not the actual app that you installed. place the installer and all contents of the same folder in another folder on your desktop, then drag that folder onto the icon in the AMD Patcher app. If Patcher keeps giving you the same error, we'll figure out what is going wrong with it then.

i used Marvin's Utility and it still doesnt work, this is the log it produced after it patched Photoshop:

have you seen any other Hacintosh success stories with an AMD installation?

You haven't responded to my other inquiries as far as using Patcher for the installer.

EDIT: did you mean for it to be in simulation mode when you ran it above?

Aydinz · #17 10-25-2008, 04:52 AM

i did it initally in simulation mode, then in real mode....and there was no success

i tried to put the installer in the patcher and i got this error this time: Can’t make item 2 of {«class appf» "Setup.app" of «class cfol» "CheckElements" of «class cfol» "tmp" of item "private" of «class sdsk» of application "Finder"} into type string. (-1700) and then when i click ok it askes me if i want to patch and install, i click yes, and it says: The command exited with a non-zero status. (127)

so i dont know whats wrong...

EDIT: and people have installed it on osx86 like puttabong, who said "It works fine on my AMD OSx86 machine, without any patching required."

nfoav8or · #18 10-25-2008, 08:16 AM

lol. oh yeah, I forgot I had read that. well I don't know what to tell you then except that you should check to md5 of what you downloaded (or purchased) to ensure it is correct. This is always a big problem when downloading torrents... if you close the app and it doesn't have a chance to save the data, sometimes it can get corrupted.

Aydinz · #19 10-25-2008, 08:28 AM

how do i do that?

i used the default MD5 program that came with Leo4All v3 and it comes in 2 stages, you put in the file, it calculates the checksum, then you put the file and the checksum together and you click compare....it said the two checksums were identical...is that what i was supposed to do? btw i downloaded it through http not through torrents...

nfoav8or · #20 10-25-2008, 08:59 AM

hmm. ok then bud. I am coming up short on this one. Anyone else got anything?
