# OS X Patcher OS X Patcher is a command line tool for running OS X on unsupported Macs # Contributors I'd like to the thank the following people, and many others, for their research, help, and inspiration. - [parrotgeek1](https://forums.macrumors.com/members/1033441/) - [TMRJIJ](https://forums.macrumors.com/members/tmrjij.878094/) # Links - [RMC GitHub](https://github.com/rmc-team) - [RMC Website](https://www.rmc-team.ch/) - [RMC Twitter](https://twitter.com/_rmcteam) - [More Documentation](https://www.rmc-team.ch/osx-patcher) # Supported Macs ## iMacs - iMac4,1 (with C2D CPU) - iMac4,2 (with C2D CPU) - iMac5,1 - iMac5,2 ## MacBooks - MacBook2,1 - MacBook3,1 - MacBook4,1 ## MacBook Airs - MacBookAir1,1 ## MacBook Pros - MacBookPro2,1 - MacBookPro2,2 ## Mac minis - Macmini1,1 (with C2D CPU) - Macmini2,1 ## Mac Pros - MacPro1,1 - MacPro2,1 ## Xserves - Xserve1,1 - Xserve2,1 # Usage chmod +x ./OS\ X\ Patcher.sh —> makes the script runnable sudo ./OS\ X\ Patcher.sh —> runs the script with root permissions # Brightness Slider and NoSleep You might notice two little applications have been installed along with OS X Patcher's other patches. They help solve some issues and should be opened and configured after patching. NoSleep is open source and can be found [here](https://github.com/integralpro/nosleep). Brightness Slider is made by ACT Productions and can be found on the [Mac App Store](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/brightness-control/id456624497?ls=1&mt=12). # Graphics acceleration Your Mac won't support graphics acceleration with this patcher. This means brightness control and sleep won't work (on non-ATI cards) (see above) and applications that rely on your graphics card will perform slower or will simply not work. parrotgeek1 will soon release a patcher with support for graphics acceleration on certain Macs.
