    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    Well, Snow Leopard booted right up connected to a TV with component video, and after completing setup, works perfectly fine with HDMI on the monitor I was previously using! Unfortunately, there are some significant issues that I need to work out. But hey, it does work, and it feels smoother than...

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    As an update, I've been working on getting Snow Leopard running on the Apple TV. I have it booting most of the way, but the system reboots when the WindowServer starts. I need to do some more experimentation with different video connections and resolutions, as well as some driver nonsense to see...

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    For me, it is a novelty, but it could be used as a file or media server around the home. These are cheap and don't use much power.

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    I've been having issues uploading so feel free to put it there if you'd like. And yeah, the boot.efi is crucial, though I would be surprised if it wasn't already part of the image. For mine, I extracted boot.efi from the still-available-from-Apple 3.0.2 firmware.

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    No worries, I can grab the one from MEGA and upload it along with the files I uploaded to archive.org. Edit: Hm, I've been trying to upload for the past hour and it's been stuck on "Starting upload". Is something awry?

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    So it turns out that the image works fine in Monterey, but due to the security features added in Catalina, there are some extra steps to make Disk Utility and Terminal work properly. In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access, add the following applications to the...

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    This means that it began booting, so the partition type is likely correct, but once the macOS kernel took over it couldn't read the USB drive. I would try a few things: Try the drive using a powered hub (that's what has given me success) Try another USB drive Ensure you used the correct start...

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    As you may know, the firmware for the 1st-generation Apple TV was a modified version of Mac OS X Tiger. Back in the day, many members of the Mac community were able to get full versions of Mac OS X running on the Apple TV. Unfortunately, patched disk images with the fruits of their labor have...

    Voodoo 3 / 3000 AGP… BX chipset?

    I have a 440BX system with a Voodoo3 3000 AGP in it and it works great! FWIW, I had problems getting the card running properly until I installed the 440BX chipset drivers.
