MLPostFactor v0.3

[Hervé]

This comes out a little late (but better late than never) but there's been a couple of recent inquiries re: MLPF for installing and running ML on old laptops with GPUs dropped by OS X 10.8. After more than 10 years and given that MLPF was deleted from its original thread at MacRumors and that the authors have long moved on, I feel it's pretty harmless to post a copy of this old tool here for those who may be interested to use it.

 

So here we go, MLPF v0.3:

The tool never got updated for ML 10.8.5 but it's only a cosmetic matter and it's totally safe to apply it as it is on 10.8.5. Upon completion, update file

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

to adjust reported ML version from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5.

 

My recommendation for Hackintosh is to install ML 10.8.5 + all updates in initial (and slow) vanilla unaccelerated mode before applying MLPF for 10.8.4 on the installation. This will include reverting airportd to pre-10.8.4 version as newer one caused issues with certain wireless networks, as stated in the footer note #1 here.
