Hackingtosh for Dj'ing

**Poulet Blanc** · 05-24-2011, 01:41 PM

Came along this http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/05...leo4allv3.html
I know there was something like hackingtosh, but this article got my interest.
However I've got a few questions I hope you guys can answer.
1. Is hackingtosh on a windows laptop (toshiba satellite) good for Dj'ing purposes?
2. Will it delete my regular windows data or can I still use my windows stuff?
3. Is there anyone on this forum who also uses it, and is it worth giving it a go?

This forum doesn't endorse "hackintosh projects", sorry mate.

Get a mac, or use windows. Why bother if you can get traktor working just fine under both OSes?

And please, at least remove the link from your post. It's really not a great idea to link something like that here.

I don't see the point really. Also I bet this is one of those things that should be of so simple but has a habit of turning really quite nasty and requiring a good level of technical expertise to get working how you want it. (expertise I doubt you have since you don't seem to have any experience installing an operating system judging by question number 2)

Stay away from the idea then. You will probably lose some data (unless you have backup of everything) and it is a time consuming process with no guarantees it will work in the end.

If you want OSX save for a mac, it's worth it. If you don't feel like spending such a large amount of money, tinker your PC and you should be fine.

Also, you must consider the instability of running something on hardware it was never designed to run on. Especially where if you crash you may lose a spot at a club, etc.

Ok, thanks for the advice guys.
