Hey guys, at the moment, I am using Gamesalad on a Hackintosh. If I decide to use Xcode to sign the Gamesalad Viewer, will it accept my serial number?

Thanks.

    No tellin what it will do, really. Hackintosh is not stable for using GameSalad or XCode.

    Depending on the Hackintosh install it will work fine. But it has nothing to do with the fact you are using a hackintosh or not. It's that hackintosh's are sometimes missing pieces of the OS that make certain Mac functions work.

    I converted my G5 to QuadCore Hackintosh MacPro :) everything works like it should be. Never has any problem with Xcode so far or with GS.

    Thanks for all the reply's guys. Really appreciate it. Only using Hackintosh atm as Mac I don't have a Mac. Upgrading laptop next April when next Mac Book Pro range is released. Takes ages to save hehe :)

    Is there any other way to use the GS viewer other than signing it with Xcode?

    Thanks.

    Or without using the iOS Provisioning Profile.

    Yes, there is a way... You need to create a false apple certificate and edit Xcode. Then it allows you to sign it with that false certificate and you can install GS Viewer. I don't know if I can post tutorial for this here. If is not against rules of this forum... If not, I can post tutorial here :)...

    P.S. Sorry for my English...

    Hey guys, I have installed GS Viewer but I am having difficulty using it to connect to Gamesalad as I am using Virtual Box to run OS X. This means that the WiFi networks are not the same when using the Viewer. Is there any way around this?

    Thanks.

    everything works well on a hackintosh, viewer, xcode, sign app for the appstore etc, now I have an imac but I had a hackintosh, imac but I prefer to get by ....

    I'm surprised no one from GameSalad has deleted this topic. As I hope they don't support "Hackintosh" as this is illegal. Save your money and buy a real Mac and quit stealing. Do people not realize prices go up for others when they steal? That and the fact that it's just not right to do.

    A quote from wikipedia...
    "Apple does not authorize the use of the Mac OS on any x86 PC other than the ones it has developed itself."
    Source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSx86

    Does the work "Hack" not mean anything to you in the title "Hackintosh"? This hack means you are getting something you truly didn't pay for. To truly be an owner/buyer of the Mac OS X means you purchased a Mac computer. It's a all in one bundle. Otherwise it is stealing. Not that hard to figure out.

    Generally the world HACK is thrown about incorrectly. I consider myself a Hacker, but only because I tend to HACK stuff to do things that maybe the original OEM did not intend them to do.

    A Hackintosh is not Illegal in any way as long as - as mentioned above - you buy the OS. The whole debate about Apple authorizing their OS to be used on other PCs other than their own is down to selling them - you are not allowed to produced Hardware for their Software essentially and sell it with their software installed.

    You can OWN the OS without owning the hardware, its not stealing. Going to the bay of Pirates and downloading is stealing.

    Anyway

    Icecold - I DualBoot an Alienware Laptop and have everything running fine - you might want to look into that rather than running it in a VM.

    Hackintosh is illegal! It must be in T&C or copyright somewhere
  • Persian_DevPersian_Dev Member Posts: 36
    Hackintosh IS NOT THE NAME OF osx86!!!! some guys named it HACKINTOSH! it is officially named osx86 it is not illegal. and shaun you're RIGHT DarkGS You don't know anything about this so shut up :D flash too :)

    I used a VERY old Acer laptop and used multibeast (google it) and bought a Leopard DVD - it works fine for gamesalad use.
    I now have a "real" macbook now though - and it works even better:)
