The reason it didn't work is because the Apple TV only boots from its own EFI file that is used for its own OS. In order to boot Linux you need to make a fake mach_kernel (OS X) file that contains a Linux kernel. A mach_kernel that contains the XP kernel/loader doesn't exist yet.

This project might actually be a lot more possible these days, because the XP source code leaked a while ago. The bootloader and everything is also included there.

In XP, when you go to set folder options, you can also set the default action for folders/file folders to "explore" instead of "open" and that gives you the left hand nav pane more consistently in explorer. In case that's relevant.

Speaking at a PCB level, unless there are bespoke integrated circuits on/in those IDE adapters, they *will* work regardless of the direction. The second adapter that was shown is truly a passive device, i.e, a bunch of tiny wires packed into a "sandwich" of laminate/synthetic materials. The resistors on it I believe are purely for the red and green LEDs. There is something that could be done with that second adapter: desolder the bad female 44 pin connector and solder the double male 44 pin connector in place of that original one as it came.

Awesome content as always brother! So much work goes into these videos❤ Thank you!

I love the way you did the recap, i skipped the video and i knew everything that happened because of the recap. Instantly subscribed!

The best such experiment I've done is when I installed Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on my Dad's old busted HP laptop which came with Windows Vista. Just when I start to think that's pretty impressive, I see this video... Well done, keep these going!

What you could have done to repair the original Mac OS installation was plug in the hard drive to another pc and change the Mac OS version back on that ext file to see if that would fix the problem. After this, you could have booted up Mac OS and entered system settings. When there you would go to restart settings (something like that) where you can choose which drive to boot from at the next boot. Great video man!

I love how Eddy reliable trustman is always in your videos!

Even though sometimes your experiments do not work, I love to watch people in a problem solving state of mind.

The boot MGR, recovery, target disk mode, And diagnostics are likely stored in the BIOS as you can erase the hard drive and still have access to these on a normal MacBook. This also means that they will not be accessible on an Apple TV, meeting it will just boot off of the hard drive every single time. Hope this was useful!

Seeing XP running is making me nostalgic for it again. It is the one operating system that I legitimately miss.

I love these videos because no matter how much goes wrong, we still learn something. Thank you so much! ❤😊

Even when things go wrong, it's still fun to watch!

You could try a push pin to allow the ide adapter to fit onto the ide header then make sure the hdd and DVD drives are set properly master slave cable select. Also set both the hdd and dvd on the same cable instead of trying the usb route since the usb seems disabled on boot which would make sense being an apple device.

I have indeed used a 44pin IDE to 40pin IDE adapter in reverse (very similar to the first one). I don't remember what it was for but it did work. it's just a passive adapter the hardest part is maintaining pin compatibility as the keying the missing pin is either there or not they're. And there's usually no marking as to what pin 1 is. I'm assuming they borrowed from laptop design and the IDE channel could support two drives?

Awesome video, Michael!

The Computer Clan would be proud of you, with your conversion technology! 😁

oh no its the infamous "Everything Goes Wrong"

I love your videos i hope one day you get to 1 million subscribers keep up the good work man i really love your content 😁❤

Interesting video. I think it is the firmware too. You are trying to make the Apple TV into a general purpose computer when it was not designed to be that. I think you would have to write new firmware for it. Also, when you already have a MacOS command prompt open, just use the "passwd" command to change your user password. Much faster than going back to the GUI control panel.

My assumption here is that that the AppleTV firmware is looking for a specific EFI application, it’s clearly a very cut down EFI from what’s on a typical Intel Mac. Just a guess, but I think for any chance you’d either need to write an NVRAM/EFI setting from a booted copy of OS X, or have an XP/rEFInd modified loader like what’s used in the Leopard image.

@DistrosProjects

Your assumption is correct. In order to boot XP you would need to load a fake “mach_kernel” binary that pretended to be a macOS (the Apple TV OS is essentially macos) kernel but was actually windows. This has been done with linux but never with windows since linux and macos share far more in common than linux and windows.

So, theory. When you created the EFI folder in the C:\ folder, was that an NTFS filesystem or a FAT32 filesystem? I wonder if you could make a GPT-formatted drive, partition 0 being a FAT32-formatted partition labelled for EFI boot, partition 1 being NTFS, and putting the EFI files in the partition 0.

Why not do.. rEFInd instead of rEFIt? it's a fork of rEFIt, and much more modern and compatible. I'm hoping you'll revisit and try rEFInd, i mean it works on the latest Intel Macs and standard UEFI PCs.

In case you change the version string in the plist and screw your machine up: Boot into single-user mode by holding down Command+S, type /sbin/mount -uw / to mount the filesystem as read/write, type nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist, edit the file (insert the correct version number), exit nano and then type exit to continue booting into OS X. That should take care of this...

This kind of tinkering really fascinates me.

I think you should try and see if you could set up the clover bootloader as if it were a Hackintosh and make sure it immediately boots to clover first before any OS and then try and see if the apple tv will understand booting to clover first. then if it does then you could put the hard drive back in the laptop and set up boot camp just so you have the partition with windows already on it and then after its done adding the files for windows setup, put it back into the apple tv and tell clover to boot to windows boot camp partition.

The fat32 partition is an EFI System partition, that contains the bootloader. The firmware is not capable of reading NTFS formatted volumes so the XP installation failed to boot. It should be possible to get XOM working by manually putting it on the EFI System Partition and installing XP to a second NTFS Partition. Also I am not sure if the drive in the AppleTV is a GPT partition table or MBR, but your xp drive needs to match that setup.

@Notevenmad955

Жыл бұрын

On macs it actually doesn’t even less so on the Apple TV. The Mac firmware will always look for HFS/APFS partitions for the file System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi or whatever file was blessed/selected in Startup Manager. However the reason why refit and xom doesn’t work is because the Apple TV implements a rudimentary checksum check for the bootloader. Since the boot loader only loads the macOS kernel and driver cache with no additional checks regular macOS and linux can be coerced into running. Probably if someone ports the ReactOS loader to run on the AppleTV XP might be possible to run but you will need a lot of workarounds since Windows versions before 8 still rely on legacy BIOS being present even in UEFI mode

The gen1 appletv supports usb booting. However to boot from usb requires a usb storage device with a special partition GUID that the appletv recognizes. This was used to hack appletv without needing to open the case. You used to be able to run a mac program to create this usb stick which formatted the usb stick and installed OS X on it, which then installed a bunch of utilities that hacked the appletv in service mode. It is possible, it just requires a little work. It is possible to install regular Macos this way

Bro you tried your best and I understand the pain of all went wrong

I'm going to grab a bag of popcorn for this one 😛

Clover bootloader possibly. Also, are you able to boot off the Network? It does require some fancy xtuff like a OSX Installation/Deployment server but may be able to get this going or at least boot an OSX installer.

I used Clover (similar to rEFIt) to install windows 7 on a 2007 iMac (using an obscure method that needed me to create a virtual machine and use the image to install windows) that i used before getting a proper machine for gaming, developping and basically everything else. Clover didn't show up in startup disk so i suppose similar software do the same

Try this: Find a tutorial on how to disable the firmware Boot on a computer with the apple tv Hardware Then do the (maybe rEFIt) Installation

16:03 - Yeah it seems as if the Apple TV firmware wasn't programmed for the same shortcuts Intel Macs were. The solution to that would've been to go to System Preferences > Startup Disk. If the OSX CD wasn't showing up here, then it wasn't considered "bootable" (this might be because certain OSX builds were modified for hackintoshes)

you have the same "current" XP geographical location image for desktop bg I do lol that vineyard hill

The AplTV shouldn't care about whether the drive is powered on before booting the ATV so it will already have enough time to load the disc and all that (I'm going from using drives in this manner with PC hardware) and even with a power off the disc will be 'loaded' in the drive just the host (PC/ATV) will send the command to read the disc when/if it wants to. If the ATV is using Cable Select (CS) to ID the drives using CS the furthest device from host connector will be master and the closest will be slave (you can set the DVD drive to slave to be sure of this with the pin jumpers), IDE usually can support 2 devices per cable (again PC architecture) but this is a possibility to boot and make this project work. Another thing is that pin 20 (key pin) on a 44 or 40 pin cable is a no connect so you could also potentially break that off the MOBO of the ATV and use a 44 to 40 pin adapter to connect a regular 40 pin cable to the DVD drive then a 40 to 44 pin adapter for the HDD with external power. Hope this helps
