Thread: how to patch amd with amd_insn_patcher apps will work

this is for people who want to use more than 4gb of ram and use -force64 to boot in 64 bit user land

Download attch. amd patcher - Downloads - OSx86.net extract it in usr/bin make folder visible with show hidden files its in the root of drive.

tips
look at the pattern of the first small commands so u don't make a mistake on the larger command lines

each command line is in its own region some are three lines long make sure u do it in order

open terminal do command lines

sudo -s

amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched

mv /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib


amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/dyld

/usr/lib/dyld.patched

mv /usr/lib/dyld.patched

/usr/lib/dyld


amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B_profile.dylib

/usr/lib/libSystem.B_profile.dylib.patched

mv /usr/lib/libSystem.B_profile.dylib.patched

/usr/lib/libSystem.B_profile.dylib


amd_insn_patcher /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore.patched

mv
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore.patched

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore



amd_insn_patcher /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTimeComponents

/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTimeComponents.patched

mv /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTimeComponents.patched

/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTimeComponents


amd_insn_patcher /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeH264.component/Contents/Resources/QuickTimeH264.scalar

/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeH264.component/Contents/Resources/QuickTimeH264.scalar.patched

mv /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeH264.component/Contents/Resources/QuickTimeH264.scalar.patched

/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeH264.component/Contents/Resources/QuickTimeH264.scalar


update_dyld_shared_cache

reboot and all set.

just add -force64 to boot flags

heres the link to credits [HOW-TO] AMD Binaries Patchen !!

yep i'm definitely stupid for not being careful enough, I'm so sorry!
I get "dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache" on every terminal action,
is there an easy way to restart, foolishly i didn't backup either "usr/bin" or "usr/lib" before tinkering doh!

edit: sorry for the running commentary, google is my friend, ran "sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force"
hopefully can start afresh, maybe tomorrow when i'm a little more awake

make sure u drop the files in usr/bin not the folder the contents in the folder provided
amd_insn_patcher
amd_insn_patcher_ext
insn_patcher.c
insn_patcher.h
Makefile

don't worry i failed numerous times good luck and have fun.

hiya, got it booting fine after carefully patching as above
only hitch is it will only boot with verbose mode, i have added -v to the boot.plist for now, but i'd prefer not to if you know what i mean, do you know any way around this?
thanks

cool just remove that from plist

it wont boot without it, just stops with the apple and the 'no entry sign'

its strange ive had that problem before and it was fixed with chameleon try to update chameleon with champlist if that does then down grade . and of corse repair perms after.

After running the first few commands, terminal says "Illegal instruction" when I type any command in (including the rest of the ones listed above) and no apps will launch. What am I doing wrong?

do lines one line at a time take your time copy and paste highlight only the txt no open spaces before or after line

(this is 1st line)

sudo -s

(2nd line)

amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

(3rd line)

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched

and so on........................

also patcher files

make sure u put the files in usr/bin

use flag -force64 while you do it

with maxmem=4096

Ahh, I hadn't been using the -force64 flag. Results:

I tried entering each line in one at a time and then hitting enter (and when I did that the commands corrected me on syntax or terminal told me the files didn't exist or that it couldn't run binaries)

Then I tried entering the commands back to back and that of course didn't work.

Then I entered commands in the way terminal was saying to (like amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched and then hitting enter) and when I tried to do amd_insn_patcher /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore.patched Terminal output Illegal instruction to every command I entered and no apps would launch in finder. I would have saved what my terminal looked like exactly but Textedit froze while I was saving, and then Terminal froze when I was saving the output.

All of the lines were input in the order of the first post.

What I'm going go try now (and I'm typing this while I wait about 20 minutes for it to finish) is making 2 copies of my backup partition that I've been restoring from (using GParted if you're curious), have the amd_insn_patcher modify files on the drive that hasn't been booted, and then copy the modified files over to the active partition, that way I can at least patch all of the files before OS X destabilizes.

I'll post back after I try it, either with good news that it worked or begging for more help
