Mac OSX on a PC?
- Thread starter Santa Anna
- Start date
Mountain Lion, but it's not relevant because iamevilbear has a computer made by apple.
Something like "Hackintosh" is what you will be looking for.

Thanks for the replies, I already knew where to look, though . I just wanted to see if anyone out there had done what I did (put Snow Leopard) on an x86 machine with dualboot to OSX and Windows 7. It was a pretty interesting and LONG, emphasizing LONG, project. It takes many hours to do this, plus you've got to mess with BIOS, AHCI and such.. Bleh.. And the horrible part is all of the kexts. Those are pretty much the plugins that run OSX. If you have ONE wrong kext, your Hackintosh won't start. You then have to restart the process over again. Anyway, I just used iBoot, whereas that supplies the kexts that I needed for my Intel based machine, so that when I first got into OSX on my machine, I chose what kexts fit my machine, such as my GFX, sound, etc.. And what's nice about it is that when you boot up, it even shows the white apple screen with the grey apple in the middle. It looks pretty cool, and along with that I keep that abstract background that comes with OSX 
. I even got it to work with my dual monitors, so I am very happy now. The only thing is, I can't update my version of OSX or else the Hackintosh is no more. But I can do the iTunes updates, etc.. Just no Core Updates :/.
Anyways, if any of you were looking on how to do this, I suggest searching iBoot, or maybe OSx86.
