Video was pulled? Bandwidith overload... why didn't they use YouTube?!

Anyway, testing has begun:

I'm still waiting on BAMBIOS over this, unless this is actually better and cleaner than it sounds.

Im not surprised, when i viewed in this afternoon it had allready been watched somthing like 3000 times! Smiley

Rgr myst it seems BAMBIOS will be in the long term a cleaner and nicer way to do what Narf seems to have achived.

question is now.. if this works what on earth is the impact going to be on the mac market, and particually the mac game market.

I still don't think that everything, especially games, is going to 'just work'. The OS might run... but the hardware still isn't compatible. A lot of 'features' and options are simply not supported, and would probably still have to be emulated/virtualized, if at all possible.

Civ, I don't think you've been reading what the people developing this stuff have been talking about. The hardware is compatible, the CPU simply had no legacy bootloader; the GPU needs to have a slightly modded driver to recognize it properly; and they've yet to say anything else hasn't worked. If they can get the OS loaded, I bet that they can easily make the smaller things work. This first step was the "if at all possible" step, and to me, it looks a hell of a lot better than VPC.

if you notice the movment of the windows... its smooth - those of you that have run VPC will no that without a GPU you just don't get that... you see the re-draw process all the damn time (or maybe not under a fast G5??)  ... my gut says if things are as smooth as they appear on that video... then the GPU must be being recognised and used.

it gets even better, check this out:

A photo of the OS selection screen was posted (mirror). Upon booting the Mac, an Apple logo appears on a grey screen. Pressing the down arrow key at this time brings you to a Windows logo on the same grey background. Hitting enter lets you proceed to boot the selected Operating System.

According to this post the final solution will work on the 17" iMac, 20" iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pro. The full solution should be posted shortly and appears it will include downloadable bootloader.

... Talk about a slick freaking way to do it holy crap eh!!!

The real question is whether or not Apple will deny Apple Care or not.

I'd rather wait for 0.5 before I would even touch it.

It's actually dubbed 1.0, not a 0.x beta.

My brother does, but doesn't want me to do it, nor do we have XP [but as I say he's a bastard and won't allow it].

And i'm pretty sure it's a 0.1 release. If I could get access to the site I would have shown you.
