![]() ![]() UniBeast, the handy little tool that creates a Mountain Lion installer for PCs. When you install OS X on a PC, you’re leaving driver compatibility completely up to chance. When you a buy a PC running Windows, all of the drivers come pre-installed. ![]() You see, drivers act as conduits for allowing each physical part of your PC (wireless card, GPU, etc.) to communicate with its operating system. Anything slower than an Intel dual-core processor is probably not going to work. Apple says that Mountain Lion needs a minimum of 2GB of RAM and 8GB of free hard drive space. You also need to have a newer PC that’s capable of running Mountain Lion, and frankly, we’re not going to give you a list because there are a lot of PCs out there. For some Mac users, having the OS X installer on portable media, such as a DVD or flash drive, is helpful when making a clean install on a startup drive. dmg tool, so you’ll need to borrow a friend’s Mac for a little while to create your Hackintosh concoction. Because OS X Mountain Lion is a software download, it doesn't include a physical installer in the form of a bootable DVD or USB flash drive. You’ll be creating a bootable disk/drive, so have a 4.7Gb DVD or USB flash drive with a minimum of 8GB storage. To create a Hackintosh, you will first need access to a Mac and the $20 Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store. after this just follow instructions and you should have a perfectly working mac, so long as the os x file you downloaded is decent.this took me absolutly ages to work out but it was worth it, and to every one saying that the os x downloaded from torrent is bad, i havnt had a single problem yet.Before you even think about venturing down this road, there are some things you need to know. this will mean that the small drive has all the os x data all in one place, so its easy to keep track of. proceed to the re-install (second choice down) and choose the smaller hardrive to install on. select the usb and it will take you back to disk utility. you can now insert your bootable usb flash drive and restart the system. then click image and select the os x file. click apply.you the need to take the now empty usb #1 and copy the whole original os x file onto it from your pcn and plug it into the mac.now on the restore tab, drag the smaller harddrive partition to destination. If you’re on a 32-bit version of Windows, you can install Snow Leopard instead. in the partitioned tab, change current to two and drag the line in between all the way down so you have one big drive and one tiny one. Mountain Lion is 64-bit, and thus requires your copy of Windows to be 64-bit. ![]() ![]() then click restore.this should create your bootable usb drive, however there are a bunch of other files in the original download so heres what i did (and my macs working fine)in disk utility select one of your hard drive partitions (or your hard drive if its not partitioned). then click image and choose the InstallESD file on usb #1. drag the empty usb #2 to the destination. I then entered the os x file i downloaded on the pc, went to contents, shared support and then copied the InstallESD onto usb #1.Then plug BOTH usb sticks back into the mac.now select the restore tab. Because all these new features add up to one amazing experience on your Mac. do this for both usb, they may not show up on your pc, you need to use the transmac programe. OS X Mountain Lion is Apples best OS yet. change format to 'mac os extended journal', change current to 1, and in options tick guid partition table. file of os x from pirate bay.I then downloaded the free trial of transmac, which allows you to read mac files and mac formatted disks on your pc.I then erased and formated two usb sticks using the mac, on disk utility go to the partition tab, select a usb. Im going to give instructions incase anyone else is in the same situation.first on my pc I downloaded dmg. Ok, so after ALOT of tinkering about I have managed to down load mountain lion onto my mac, using a pc to make the bootable usb stick. ![]()

It does get pretty frustrating when you’re completing event after event and no cars are being unlocked. Overall, NFS Carbon is probably what you’re expecting from another NFS game. Kind of spoiled the experience, just a little. ![]() Maybe it’s just the times I’ve played, but I always end up with super chatty asshats spewing utter bullshit during the entire race. It’s fun and it works well, but make sure you leave your headset off. There isn’t really anything revolutionary about the online play. Overall, it really adds to the experience and makes those events really exciting. It’s equally intense and just as awesome. ![]() Same deal here, except there’s another one for canyon duels and races. If you played NFS Most Wanted, you’re familiar with the super action movie cop chase scene music that kicked in once a cop was after you. But in the canyon duels and cop chases is where it really gets good. During most events you’ll hear this heavy, ambient techno that actually fits really well with the gameplay. If you disable rock and hip-hop you’re left with a pretty decent soundtrack, though. It also helps you hear cars coming up on you if you haven’t had a second to check your rear view.Īs you would expect from an EA game, the soundtrack is chalk full of the hippest of hip “EA Trax”. This is the first time I’ve played a NFS game with full 5.1 surround and hearing a sign bounce in front of you then go whizzing by your right ear and then hitting the ground behind you is pretty rad. The environmental and random world vehicle sounds are also pretty awesome. It’s amazing to hear the difference each time you get a performance upgrade. One thing I’ve always loved about the NFS series are the sound effects. It would have been nice to see some more damage, but at least the paint gets scratched up pretty good. The real time reflections are beautiful and I found myself smashing enough walls after being distracted by them. The detail of the car models in NFS Carbon is a definite step up from NFS Most Wanted. Needless to say, I had the voice volume set to 3 or below for the most part. They’re also extremely annoying and yell at you during the entire event. For the most part, they’re all pretty useless except for the Scout (who finds shortcuts) and for the most part just get in your way. They can do different things from taking out opposing racers to finding and mapping out all the shortcuts for you. You have “crew members” that you can hire to race along side you in most events. But it’s definitely a step up this time around and they look quite nice. The cutscenes are similar to that of NFS Most Wanted where real actors are present. Of course, he’s not in character, but I was pretty stoked to see him none the less. And who’s there to greet him? None of than Karl (Helo) Agathon from Battlestar Galactica. This time, he’s returned to his hometown where he apparently left quite the mess. Your faceless, voiceless character is the same dude you played in NFS Most Wanted. ![]() Though, it’s not all that integral or even interesting, it’s presented very well and strings the first few events together which results in a very exciting start to an otherwise fairly typical NFS game. NFS Carbon has more of a story to it than any of the previous games in the series. It’s not a perfect game and definitely has its share of faults, but it is a very fun and exciting game… when it doesn’t have you totally frustrated. Even having finished the career mode weeks ago and although my feelings towards NFS Carbon teetered between love and hatred what seemed like every time I played the game, I still find myself popping it in my Xbox 360 every few days. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s no doubting Remo Recover’s range of photo restoration features.

These units are currently being built as one-off prototypes as XTS continues to refine their design. ![]() The Tejas Overdriver has all the capabilities of its mother-the Tejas Boost-but adds overdrive and fuzz to the mix. Walton would design the pedals, while Kingdom would do the printed circuit boards and some engineering. “That’s the thing we shoot for in a gain pedal: Not only do you hear an amp-like sound, but you experience an amp-like feel under your fingers.”īy 2009, Walton’s pedal-building work had grown to a point where he started subbing out work to Nashville’s Kingdom Amplification, where future partner Barry O’Neal worked. “It feels more like an amp than a pedal,” he says. Walton’s version has more gain on tap but still cleans up enough to serve as a boost. His first model, the Precision Overdrive, was based on an Ibanez Tube Screamer. I started like Robert Keeley, modifying Tube Screamers and DS-1s to make them sound the best they could.”īy 2006, Walton had decided it was easier to build a pedal from the ground up than mod an existing one. XAct Tone Solutions started in 2001 with me modifying pedals that weren’t reliable, or just didn’t sound great. and hang out with Dave Friedman at Rack Systems, trading him labor for knowledge. “Back in the ’80s, I built racks for myself. “I was doing pedalboards for players in Houston and Austin, just because I liked to do it,” he recalls. The company’s main office is in Nashville, but founder Walton lives in Houston, where he also works as an environmental consultant. The pedals evolved as part of the outfit’s larger mission: creating tone solutions for guitarists. But XAct Tone Solutions is more than a stompbox company. If you’re one of the tens of thousands of guitarists who’ve checked out YouTube gear-demo guy Pete Thorn’s terrific video of the XTS Atomic Overdrive pedal, you may be wondering, “Who are these XTS guys?” XTS-short for XAct Tone Solutions-is Greg Walton’s pedal and effect systems company, and the Atomic Overdrive is just one of the stompboxes manufactured under the XTS brand. ![]() |
