CPUIDs Patch for Snow Leopard
Legacy kernel like modbin mach_kernel.test7 and qoopz “anappirtrvh” XNU kernel for snow Leopard doesn’t have on fly cpuids patch for AMD like 10.5 voodoo based kernel.
if you have success installing Snow Leopard on your AMD system, you will need to patch some cpuids. some application will crash without cpuids patch like iTunes and Spotlight. To do cpuids patch you will need a cpuids pacther like Marvin’s AMD Utility v.25. you can download it here.
To Fix iTunes you can do a cpuids patch on:
/System/Library/QuickTime/
and
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.frameork/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/
To fix Spotlight :
/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Spotlight.prefPane
You Can do A CPUIDs Patch on /system/library/ but do not patch front row because it will make front row not working..
if you have already patch all cpuids you can restore your frontrow binary to make frontrow work
