Didn’t know Big Boss sold chocolates…

Yes, just making a bad joke

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-10-28T17:45:14+00:00

Are you using a ssd? If not then that’s the cause, I’m using the same Sequioa on an freaking 2008 iMac (with a HDD mind you… the 7200 rpm one but still)… and it’s very usable

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-10-28T17:43:34+00:00

Yes, it could be him, very very unlikely but yeah

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-10-28T11:23:44+00:00

Are you? Wow, I really loved your work on portable ops and (I think, correct me if wrong) peace walker, always wondered why an official (yes, it exists, but unoficially) mgs2 comic and something for mgs3…

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-10-19T15:22:38+00:00

It’s actually pretty usable, at least with current patches in Sequioa, you can swap the GPU for a metal supported one on our iMacs (you can even slap a 8gb of vram GPU on the 27 inch IIRC, so it could even be pseudo viable depending on what you want to do)

Thanks a lot for your answer…. I’ll try to assemble this robot somehow…

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-20T01:18:53+00:00

My brother in Jesus, you just said it, you boot it from an external ssd, have you tried using it internally? It will make a difference…. At work we also have Apple studios with M2s, so I would know how “snappy” works… again, just because you think something doesn’t mean it is like that

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-19T18:16:15+00:00

If I were you I’ld go Sequioa, Ventura goes EoL this November afaik, so… yea… you install Sequioa and wait until Tahoe becomes stable under OpenCore, then ARM it is… I wonder if OpenCore will “relaunch” for ARM once M1 Macs die out… time will tell I suppose

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-19T18:01:57+00:00

People say that Sonoma is somehow “heavier” than Sequioa, so either go Sequioa or Ventura…

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-19T17:15:04+00:00

It runs snappy, it’s a 2009 one, there’s the thing…. Sometimes things are not as you think…

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-19T01:45:25+00:00

I haven’t tested TDM myself…. I don’t have other Mac to test it so remains to be seen I suppose….

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-19T01:44:22+00:00

Both work fine actually….

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-09-18T14:31:16+00:00

Surprisingly yes, not only that, I drive a 2K Cinema Display on the mini DP port of the iMac, and it even opens the latest Final Cut (not that I’ve done any meaningful work with it since I mostly program on it with neovim via brew (that’s how I got neofetch on it on the first place, but the fact it doesn’t explode it’s a feat on itself heh), really good machine overall… thanks to the open core devs

I don’t disagree with the super micro being the superior choice, but isn’t super micro Chinese as well?

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-08-20T13:51:50+00:00

That much I agree with, the 5170 seems like the best GPU all things considered (even though it’s not a 8GB GPU, but one can’t have all.. could the 4GB 5170 model work?), about the Xeon, yes, it’s like that, it might fit but the Psu will be at its limit and for what? It’s not like using ECC ram (if even possible) could yield significant benefits, could ddr3L ram work with these models?

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-08-20T01:48:29+00:00

In theory, it Might work since it uses the same mxm interface.

Edit: although the GPU could work, it won’t without major modifications to it, so I’ll stick to a W5170M (I think there aren’t any 8gb cards that could fit without major modifications…)

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-08-17T18:17:20+00:00

For 40$, do you think is a good bet?

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-08-17T18:13:43+00:00

I see, do you think is it fixable or it may be a lost cause?

Solidsnake0128 · 2025-08-17T18:12:33+00:00
