Turns out that old Samsung Q1 Ultra tablet is capable of running Mac OS X. So today we're going to go through the most convoluted way to play the OS X version of Halo on this thing. Oh... and probably mess around with the touchscreen a bit :P

Why is tech from the 2000s always the coolest?

[@tetukute3988]

Because back in the day, tech brands and manufacturers ACTUALLY tried.

[@PoopyFrikoli]

The resolution can be fixed easily; it's a common issue when Hackintoshing these machines with weird displays that OS X doesn't properly read the display's EDID. You can fix this by dumping the EDID in Windows, then manually injecting it in OS X. This is what I had to do to get the display to work properly under OS X on my Sony Vaio UX UMPCs.

[@xerzy]

oh hey, dosdude! just gonna take the chance to thank you for your contributions, hope I can pay you back someday for the extended life you brought into Macs 🫡

good to know I'll keep this in mind whenever I rebuild the UX180P EFI to where it's based on OpenCore instead of Chameleon I already got the EFI built currently working on the config plist in theory I should have a post updated in the hackintosh fb page soon about the project only road block I've came across so far is USB mapping due to USB Tool Box not being supported in windows 7 pro X86 luckily the hackintosh discord has guided me into a alternative solution that might work

[@dosdude1]

9:56 it is so bizarre that it says Copyright 1999 yet just below are older logos of Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and KZbin. Surely some graphic designers updated the label and they must have noticed the year there and asked their managers, which makes me wonder if the copyright protection really ran out and they hoped nobody would notice it.

[@AsheLucia]

MJD is the mad scientist of retro computing and I'm here for it.

[@thedarkenspade]

I love the Tony Chahares reference, a WONDERFUL seasoning.

[@NEConforti]

This would have scratched every itch I had for a super portable touchscreen Hackintosh back in the day. Unfortunately I was stuck on my old Compaq laptop and Dell desktop. Super cool!

[@LuneLovehearn]

It wouldn't be an mjd video without the "but everything goes wrong," that's the trademark/tradition

[@aloushitermos]

I didn't imagine you were going to do this, but it was something we all needed lmao. I can't even hackintosh my 2021 lenovo laptop because of hardware and seeing you do it on the samsung thingy is insane (and also disappointing for my laptop. literally disproves "newer is better"). I think you should try doing videos on Microsoft/Nokia Lumia and Windows Phone (and maybe a video on LumiaWOA? That's Windows on Arm). Plus, you could show off WUT which is a third party app store for Windows Phone devices (basically theres actually apps now - not as many as iOS or Android but still very usable). Thanks for the content! I hope you see this comment :) Have an awesome day Michael!

[@vetrixfx9264]

Did you try using OpenCore? I have been more or less successful on a Ryzen desktop and a ThinkPad T470p

[@So1]

For real

[@kFY514]

Just as a side note: you can run macOS on just about anything - in a virtual machine. You need a hacked version of VMware or mess with advanced settings of either VirtualBox or QEMU, there is no video acceleration and in some cases no sound either - but there's no messing with custom bootloaders, kexts or DSDTs, either. It mostly just works.

[@Brownd55]

Rather than checking the printed copyright year, the best way to identify a disc at glance is looking at the matrix text on the center rings of the inner side. There's a database called redump showing info of different video game disc pressings, including version numbers and any other particular content they may have (as long as submitters take the time to check)

0:19 "wow, amazing editing. Oh wait that's real X not added in post"

[@vomytdaug]

Most of the reason that I watch your channel is due to the fact that for many years I spent a considerable amount of time installing OS/2 just because it had the only good version of mahjong to be found for any operating system.

[@fearbot69]

I've always been holding out for Apple to actually introduce some sort of native touchscreen support for their desktop OS, I got pretty hyped when they announced their own silicon that would be used between their Mac and iPad lineup. Hoped it would be the starting point for a merge between macOS and iOS, like full desktop OS running on the iPad because same architect but nah. Still separated and still no quality desktop touchscreen support. It's pretty dumb because a ton of folks use Macs for photo editing with external drawing pads, hell they even use iPads with the Apple Pen lmao.

[@brianressler569]

[@mattm7220]

The screen resolution is an easy fix with Hackintoshes - there's a boot flag that forces a resolution (that can be added to the com.apple.boot.plist file to make it apply on every boot). Let's assume that you want to force 1080p at 32 bit colour, the boot flag would be: "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32" I used to have to do this all the time on almost every Hackintosh install, regardless of having correct graphics drivers and/or distribution used.

Just so you know, you should always turn VSync off! VSync forces your framerate to be a multiple of your screen refresh rate. So if your screen is 60Hz, but you're only getting 59FPS, VSync will drop you to 30FPS as that's the next multiple of 60. That 30 FPS setting in halo just emulates having a 30Hz screen. It has a huge impact on input delay as well. Never leave VSync on when doing any performance testing, all it does is eliminate screen tearing. I'll bet the game is much more playable with it off, even if it's still not good.

[@Mas0nAnimations]

For some reason my pc used to play a game at 50 fps unless i turned off vsync and then sometimes it just works again on 60 fps on vsync

[@Polo4413]

Compooter only using 85% of the screen real estate to save power 😂😂😂 Energy Star

[@rustkitty]

The touch screen calibration issue feels like it was made for a different screen aspect ratio. There is only error in the X axis and it's almost perfect near the center of the screen while skews to the left near the left edge and to the right near the right edge.

[@sayadevelopment]

Have you tried connecting a keyboard and pressing alt while you are on the display settings? It should show more resolutions

[@gdplayer1035]

you know it's bad when mjd swears (censored)

[@kenjaminrar]

Putting software on hardware it's not built for seems like pure nightmare fuel for someone with as little patience as me

[@thumbtak123]

Try XRANDR to set a custom resolution. There might be a terminal command to add your own and activate it. You can make an SH script to have it auto set on each boot. I have done this on Linux, and it seems to be the same in MacOS.

[@yjk_ch]

Xrandr is for X windowing system, and Macs use Apple’s custom windowing system instead of X.

[@3ofSpades]

With how much technology has advanced since 20 years ago, you’d think that whole windows 8 ecosystem Microsoft tried in 2012 would work. I’d love a windows version of what apple and android is doing personally, since the ui and fast metro stuff is pretty useful for big screens and those with disabilities. Mobile devices have really gotten stale lately and I think Microsoft was on to something with their phones, but the technology and business models got in the way. It was been years since I have seen phones with contrast that good, I swear. Metro UI used to be awesome and felt alive, just look at the Xbox 360 dashboard and old windows phones. The problem now is that these companies need to have some restraint and understand that once people buy their products, then it doesn’t belong to them anymore. So they don’t have to control what you already own like an angry kid who doesn’t want to share his Oreos. You got my money, Apple or whoever else. If you don’t like me using your devices, and in ways you don’t intend, don’t sell them. Simple as that. I don’t care about what a company wants me to do, I’ll never know these people and I don’t care about their opinions. I don’t buy opinions, I buy technology I find useful. Crappy opinions come free whether you like it or not here in the comments section all the time. So I don’t need to buy those. I wouldn’t put that past KZbin though. Seems like they’ll sell any part of their website like a cheap escort these days. Anyways, cool hackintosh. I like seeing little pieces of old tech like this. Everything used to be so shiny. I miss it.
