August 19, 2010 at 6:52 pmYeah, I would follow up on the case, but it didn’t seem to worth the effort or the time…
EFI-X is probably a rip off the OSX86 community, this however has not been officially been proven since the module’s content is encrypted. It did at the time seem to have its merits. Sadly the company seemed to operate (and still does) under shady business practices, not to mention a hilariously megalomaniac company director (or whatever his official position is) .
The module still works and the machine has been upgraded to the latest version of SL and Final Cut Studio 3 with the Blackmagic working better than ever. However I strongly suggest people to steer away from it. I feel safe in being able to maintain the machine by myself, with free solutions like chameleon if the module breaks.
I recently set up another machine (i7 with Gigabyte EX58 UD5) only by using Chameleon related material and DSDT’s. These machines are great but they’re not Mac Pro’s. If you treat them that way they definitely pay off. Also it is illegal in the U.S and in maybe other countries as well (not in mine) to break the terms of the eula. Even when using an original copy of Mac OS X. So it is what it is… -

September 22, 2010 at 10:45 pmOi Rui, tudo bem?
Eu também tenho uma máquina com efix que está dando erros.
Estava tudo funcionando redondo até eu fazer o update do firmware do efix.
Agora o Final Cut Pro 7 não abre mais, nem consigo instalar.
O After Effects, depois de 30 minutos de trabalho da um pau muito estranho, travando a máquina e com um pau estranho na tela.
Além disso, minha placa de rede não funciona nem a pau.
Você conseguiu fazer a a sua máquina funcionar?
Abraços,
Marcio
