History The history of Hackintosh began back in 1988, with clones of Macintosh computers, as well as with hardware emulators for household computers, such as Amiga or Atari ST.
Super surprised those old dogs work so well! I remember giving an old girlfriend a G3 I repaired and got dumped because it was so slow. That was nearly 20 years ago... now she has 3 kids to 3 different fathers, sometimes it pays being slow with family planning lol.
Nice to see these systems still in action! Had no idea Rhapsody could run as a Hackintosh system, also very cool that you were able to modify a NextStep driver for Rhapsody! It also fits in with the design of the Toshiba, doesn’t look out of place. The rest are classic 2000s computing, the hardware and software might be old, but it doesn’t mean it’s obsolete!
Rhapsody had an official x86 release, but I guess the supported hardware must have been pretty limited. My dad got a copy for working for an Apple Retailer but for some reason that x86 disc never worked. Not sure if it was a wacky format or just a defective disc.
Interesting, Rhapsody is a pretty unique OS to use, also not as common as Mac OS counterparts. Never used Rhapsody before and I don’t have much experience with similar era Mac OS versions, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Rhapsody itself causes some problems. Best way to check though would probably be to look at officially supported hardware, if any information is available.
Collin, you never cease to amaze me with your intellect and enthusiasm! You are an inspiration to us mere "tinkerers" and provide so much useful information. I am especially grateful for your ways to install newer OS X versions on older hardware, and watching your videos doing very cool soldering work!! Thank you!!!
I used to run Snow Leopard on my HP mini 1000 netbook! Minus some battery life/power saving issues, everything worked great on there. It was surprisingly usable, and adding a CrystalHD for h.264 playback made it the perfect little machine :)
Thanks for this, I just got a Thinkpad 380XD and this was one of the bumps in the road I've experienced. Also gonna check out the IRQ switch for sound.
I am amazed you actually keep them at all, which is pretty cool. The oldest I have must be about 14 - 15 years old and today it is hardly impossible to go online with anything older than like two days lol. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
I remember running x64 Tiger on my Pentium 4 with Intel motherboard because the dev kit apparently was designed with Intel and based on their motherboard. video card was ATI Radeon x800 as far as I remember.
Cool to see. I've been wondering lately how well the early Hackintosh methods had been preserved. It'd be fun to run some of the older milestone OSes alongside a modern one but I guess drivers (especially graphics) is going to the be major factor.
I remember the early days of me running Mac OS X Tiger with the patched kernel and stuff. I was a pain to be honest with the you. Eventually I switched to a real Mac and it was way better. Still on Mac almost a two decades later. Hackintosh was a good way of getting used to Apple OS. Haven't switched to Windows still and hopefully I never will.
Apparently the HP Mini 311 is a worthwhile platform to hackintosh a bit because it's an Nvidia Ion platform same as the 2009 macs with the 9400M. same chipset and such. but a little birdie told me that with the latest Icelord unlocked BIOS it should be possible to BGA solder on an Atom 330, shim the CPU and nForce chip instead of using thermal pads, and get dualcore out of the platform PLUS 64-bit OS support.
Hey! I love these types of videos, (al though its the first time i see like old and first hackintoshes) good work, just suscribed :D And its really cool to see how like Darwin x86 took from rhapsody
@dosdude1 Hey Colin, great video as always! Would you say that it's easier or more difficult to create a hackintosh in the early days compared to modern times?
@dosdude1 thanks for the vid! Really enjoying snappiness of 10.6.8 on my UX using VaioHackandWin7 image, however there are some annoyances - wondering if you had them too and maybe found a way to address them: -mic monitoring being constantly on and causing an audio feedback loop when volume is high enough -brightness not adjustable and staying at levels last used on windows -trackpoint being super sensitive to press -screen turning white on all non-native resolutions -random occasional kernel panics on boot (proceeds fine if it boots up) also have you tried running a patched 10.7.2 on UX/TX?
Hello Sir i have MacBook 4.1 early 2008 model this is not supported opencore legacy patcher and high sierra patcher so what we do to inatall catlian high sierra and other os on my mac please tell me anyone
@@danielriossuarez There were rumours that Apple had parallel Intel versions running in house alongside their PPC releases of OS X but Rhapsody is news to me too.
If you want a modern handheld hackintosh get Surface Pro 7 (10th gen intel chip with intel wifi) with broken bios (..there are a lot of them..) for cheap, reprogram the chip and enjoy Sonoma with full multitouch 267ppi touchscreen.
The Vaio UX uses 8 1Gbit 16-bit memory chips. A single rank of memory must be made up of 64 data bits. The Intel 945 chipset it uses supports no larger than 1Gbit chips, regardless if they are 16-bit or 8-bit. If they used 16 8-bit 512 Mbit chips instead (where 8 8-bit chips made up a 64-bit rank instead of 4 16-bit chips), then you COULD upgrade to 2 GB, by way of using 16 1Gbit chips. But because they use 1Gbit chips already, you can't go any higher.
It's rather cool to see you still doing your thing. What can we expect to see in the future? Could you enable native booting of MacOS install from Ventoy?
I wish someone with your talents would make a touch screen driver for a GPD pocket or an AYA NEO or Asus' new handheld PC So we can get a mac in our pocket with some decent control options🤞 I know you probably don't have time for it, but maybe you knew someone who had and wanted to do it
The problem with those is the platforms they use, none have video cards that are compatible with macOS, meaning you're stuck without graphics acceleration.
@@dosdude1 Hi Colin I have seen someone who had a GPD pocket 2 with a m3-8100Y cpu (on yt) He claimed he had full graphics acceleration in Catalina So I thought if someone could get the touch screen to work too it would be the perfect pocket mac But thanks for the interesting video and your answer

You are a pure genius! I will try your modifications on the macbook 2011 i got as a present. I tried software solutions to disable the gpu but unfortunately not working. There is chime and the machine is loading but totally black screen. I will take that resistor which controls the voltoge to the gpu first and then i will apply those brightness patches. I would like to order your solution but unfortunately here in middle east we it wont be easy for me. And maybe i can apply some egpu solution after. I already bought ssd and 16 gigs ram for that macbook pro and waiting for the soldering machine i ordered online. I learnt a lot from your videos. Thank you very much! By the way if i also buy usb to hdmi cable for external monitor support, do you think it will work? since the hdmi output hardwired to the minidisplay-thunderbolt of that machine, maybe i thought i can use it in that way.
So you were able to work on the underfill memory chips and bump ram up to 1gig on the sony ux. Just awesome. RESPECT DUE!!!🔥
I never really thought Hackintoshing was so old. Truly remarkable collection!

Effortless flexing while simultaneously modest. I love it.
I made a little snow leopard hackintosh on a dell mini netbook back in the day. So nostalgic and fun!

So much personality in old hardware and software... thanks for the trip down memory lane!
10.6.8 max os is one of my favorite os
i remember installing it back in 2009 on a old toshiba laptop, it was absolutely amazing
You have to be kidding me! Finding, patching and compiling video drivers from NextStep. You are in another level!! 🔨🔨

As a 2008 Macbook owner it's wild to see Snow Leopard running on that Vaio UX. Just wish there was a Core 2 Duo model of that
The first Libretto and the Vaio UX are definitely interesting choices for computers in their own right, let alone for Hackintoshes.
Thanks for this, I just got a Thinkpad 380XD and this was one of the bumps in the road I've experienced. Also gonna check out the IRQ switch for sound.
That Vaio TX deserves a modern redo. 10" and 11" subnotebooks are grossly underrated.
I miss the old days of sempron amd hackintoshes. My very first budget tiger/leopard hackintosh to work with design and adobe.
I am amazed you actually keep them at all, which is pretty cool. The oldest I have must be about 14 - 15 years old and today it is hardly impossible to go online with anything older than like two days lol. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

I had hackintoshed Lenovo ideapad S10
surface pro old gens are great at this

What? Rhapsody? I thought hackintosh started with Tiger!! I didn’t know about that NeXT x86 transition
Tiger is 10.4. Stands to reason there were a 10.0-10.3 releases and developer build before.
@@egbront1506 sorry I wrote Macintosh but I meant hackintosh
@@danielriossuarez There were rumours that Apple had parallel Intel versions running in house alongside their PPC releases of OS X but Rhapsody is news to me too.

I’d love to take like an old Dell or Alienware and hackintosh it to 10.5.8 or 10.6. Any tips where to find an iso?
have you tried a 4gb stick of ddr2 sodimm yet?
Amazing work! Loved it. Your a legend!
*you're
Do you have plans to figure out how to increase the RAM in the Sony UX to 2GB? My understanding from previous attempts is that it has been attempted.
The Vaio UX uses 8 1Gbit 16-bit memory chips. A single rank of memory must be made up of 64 data bits. The Intel 945 chipset it uses supports no larger than 1Gbit chips, regardless if they are 16-bit or 8-bit.

But because they use 1Gbit chips already, you can't go any higher.
Hi man! Can you share the OS X image that you used on UX and TX? I tried contacting you via Twitter DMs but nothing. Thanks!
Can you help me with my laptop Mac os can not be installed I am tired
Can you try a framework.
Dude should be a millionaire.
11:45 too bad the sticker on the bezel can't say Designed for MacOS 10.4.1, lol
It's too bad Apple didn't stick with the old MacOS theme. It was easier on the eyes and still kicks as.
It's rather cool to see you still doing your thing. What can we expect to see in the future? Could you enable native booting of MacOS install from Ventoy?

Hi Colin
I have seen someone who had a GPD pocket 2 with a m3-8100Y cpu (on yt)

So I thought if someone could get the touch screen to work too it would be the perfect pocket mac
But thanks for the interesting video and your answer
seeing macos/ os x on non apple macs is so cursed (in a good way)
eeePCs where
Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave. Apple would be a totally different company today if they had licensed OSX to generic PC makers.
You can use macos without problems about license, they don't care since apple doesn't provide drivers, hence why hackintosh uses similar devices which the drivers works like Mac.
