    Let me know how it goes.

    I wish I had a duplicate desktop to test some of this stuff on.

    Not sure if this is RebelEFI. The RebelEFI version offered more processors which were compatible, and reading around it seems that they worked.

    This EmpireEFI has a smaller selection of compatible processors. For instance, no Core 2 Quad compatibility and that rules me out.

    EDIT: I'd stear clear of this. I'm reading all the comments on Prasys’ Blog and not one person which has commented has gotten this working with either of the builds.
    That's right, i am going to test on my laptop then on my quad. Because according to the readme file it supports Quad but ppl running quad have issues installing using the Empire boot loader. I know that RebelEFI has better Quad Compatibility, but you cant use it for much long after install, unless you want to pay the 30 smackers.

    I really wished there was a crack for Rebel, just for them being jerks.

    I've looked and looked for cracks, and put quite a few requests in, but nothing.

    Skiz, I don't have a extra desktop, I just fresh installed my pro 7 yesterday, had some sort of funky bug where some of my software would not load at start up, but would load fine if I manually started it, so I said screw it and fresh installed, so if it screws up, oh well....shit, I don't have an damn blank dvd's and cd's, shit shit shit, looks like I'll have to fork out money after all for it

    Who knows what they're going to target next?

    I might test this out on the weekend. Thanks SoL for the find

    I believe that update only cripples Intel Atom processors, rest are still unaffected (ones that work anyway). They cannot cripple all intel chips, since mac computers itself carries intel chipset.

    They could target all but the ones they use.

    You can try VMWare, that's what I think I'm gonna do since I don't have any blanks.

    No your not...

    11/4/2009 – Updated Empire EFI to v 1.0.4 This time I’ve included the new patched IOATAFamily and ATA/SATA support via this kext. Thanks to -DuNe- for making the kext. The reason is because I want to follow what people have suggested and hopefully it works with their SATA Issues. Should fix ‘ waiting for root devices’ or ‘no smoking sign’ issues. An i7 version would be out , *hopefully*

    Added aschar’s X58 Empire EFI iso . This is finally a bootable X58 ISO which works on X58 boards

    Well sorry you still are I7, but at least the board support is there, i7 support will be soon.

    Yes I've noticed that but this can show what Apple is capable of.

    I highly doubt they'll block all intel chips as it will backfire.

    the last i read atom wouldn't be blocked.

    i messed around with a dell mini 9 as a hackintosh - it was so small...so much so that i sold it and bought a 13 pro.
