Thanks to skilled hackers or I should say geeks! Leopard comes to your PC. Well it happens because the latest patched Leopard DVD comes with the amazing PC-EFI built in. For all those novices out there, PC-EFI allows users to enjoy OS X on normal PC’s without compromising on features or future updates.
With the EFI patch, the hackintosh can boot off “vanilla” (unmodified) OS X kernel and use vanilla kexts, which gives a more clean room and great peace of mind for future system updates.
To Know more about PC-EFI visit the OSX86 Wiki.
But before you proceed with the installations you need to have this following requirements.
- Non Core Intel Processors, no PC-EFI for you.
- Core Based Processors, for PC-EFI to work.
- AMD processors are not supported at this time.
Ok now, lets proceed with the installation :
Installing Leopard
- First up you need to download the Installation ISO from Mininova. All you need to go to Mininova and search for word “iATKOS v1.0i”. The download is around 2.09 GB.
- Burn the ISO to a DVD using some burning software like Nero. Make sure the write speeds are little slow it may show some errors if done on high speeds.
- Pop in the DVD and boot into it from BIOS and follow the Onscreen Instructions.
- Now select your Packages, which ever you need.
- Installation might take about an hour or so, you can grab your console or take your girlfriend for a quick date downtown.
I’m hoping Leopard will eventually get patched up for AMD cpu. If it comes in future you’d be the first to know.

I guess it was the previous version of OSX that I was going to try a while back. It was supported by AMD processors, however it said if your proc doesn’t include something called SSE2 (i think it was) that it would run slowly and also needed an extra patch for some apps to work at all. I just wanted to mess around with it for a little bit - not use it as my actual OS - so it seemed like it wasn’t worth it. I hope they get this straightened out to where it will work on my machine without hassles.
