EFiX breaches the CPU limitation of Mac OS X

Postby WhiteDragon on Sun Jun 19, 2011 1:37 am

The comming EFiX Firmware makes it possible any type of Intel CPU, technically compatible, to be used with any of Mac OS X 10.6 revision.

For Information:
The technical limitation of Mac OS X 10.6 does allow till today to use the specific types and models of Intel CPUs only.
EFiX breaches this limitation now completely.
So now, with help of EFiX, you can use also any Intel Extreme CPU versions with original Mac OS X DVD 10.6.0 or newer.
This feature remains for original Apple produced systems furtherhin not avaible.

Additional info for EFiX users:
Use your original Mac OS X 10.6.0 or 10.6.3 DVD to boot P67 chipset based motherboards,
i3, i5, i7 etc.
ATOM 64 bit CPUs are supported now too.



EFiX Patents and alternative solutions (hackintoshs)

Postby WhiteDragon on Sun Jun 19, 2011 10:15 am

raw version - editions comming soon

EFiX is prevalent world-wide, with several patents awarded, and some more patents are pending.
EFiX is an elaborate device, a technical breakthrough. Not only offering users innovative standard to manage booting process, but also providing ranges of unique functions, EFiX is awarded a complete series of diverse patents in different technological zones.

Patents for EFiX range over :
1) Idea and functionaly of the device
2) Specific methods used in EFiX
3) several patents for hardware bootmanager
4) Several patents for algorithms
5) Manufacturing technologies, including PCB manufacturing steps.
and more...

Of course some of patents comes from another ASEM products or developments.
ASEM does not work on EFiX only and to be more specifically, the EFiX is very far from being the main product of ASEM.


Hackintosh argument:

EFiX is not hackintosh, it is not even coming close.
This is an indisputable fact that we like to assure our users.
All modern hackintosh solutions, regardless of the type or community, whoever producing hackintosh certainly violate rights of ASEM Co., Ltd., by using patented methods held by ASEM.

Defamative article against EFiX and ASEM on Toms Hardware.
1. Originated with Davide Rutigliano, the former CEO, who got banished from the company. Closely working together, Tuan Ngyen, who owes several thousand US Dollars to ASEM till today for products he took and never returned.
2. Tuan Ngyen runs an IT-company and asked for selling EFiX, however
was rejected due to the attitude Tuan showed toward the company and the products.
3. The slanderous article showed on Tom’s Hardware was based on Fake dissection made by Asere-BLN (Jurgen Selent). This defamatory and slandereous article, created by Asere-BLN have being taken down by ASEM lawyers much earlier than re-release of it on Tom's Hardware by Tuan Ngyen.


Tuan Nguen (Toms Hardware)
After an short research for the real background of Tuan Ngyen many dark secrets have being revealed.
We thank for all persons who submitted to us the detailed information.
ASEM is not the first company attacked by Tuan Ngyen after he got position at Toms Hardware.
He uses mainly his Toms Hardware position and connections in order to get products and information for his own IT-company.
If the company rejects him the cooperation, so the defamation article appears, additionally he will use other ways in order to show his "appreciation".
His style of releases is simple build:
He write defamative articles mainly from the 3rd person view, also in order not to be liable for the defamation he spread around.
It wasnt also difficult to discover, that he uses some female, high ranked personel at companies like Gigabyte etc., for his own business purposes. (Connections, Information and more)
We are sincerly sad for the persons have being misused by Tuan Ngyen and for persons against whom this person wrote defamative articles.
ASEM official offices accept any additional and new information regarding illegal activities of Tuan Ngyen and will offer to the informants all the necessary anonymity and protection.
You can send your emails with evidence at any time to: miya@art-studios.net (Miya Chen - General Manager of ASEM Co., Ltd)


Fake dissection / Dissassembling of EFiX made by Asere-BLN (Jurgent Selent, Berlin, Germany)
The article about Asere-BLN’s dissection is a fabricated article.
Most of information he got was from ex. ASEM programmer, who got banished from the company due to continuously leaking information to hackintosh community.
Because of security policies in ASEM, the programmer had very limited access to some of software modules and resources. About hardware, that programmer had only theoretical information, given by one of higher positioned officials. The leak of information has never come close to core information and the real product. This also explains why nobody hacked EFiX solution till today.

The source of leaked information was confirmed without effort, due to the claims one the article were based on information provided to this programmer, while he was working for ASEM.

Needn’t to be a professional engineer, amateurs will understand the information released by Jurgen Selent is fake, and resulted in trolling-articles finally.

Facing this trouble, ASEM took steps- lawyers have contacted Asere-BLN, and he was required to take his calumnious article down. The final words from Asere-BLN, also Jurgen Selent, on his website and his "underground" actions afterwards were recorded by ASEMs Law Team, among other interesting information, are currently stored in ASEMs Law Department.

efix-users.com / kext.com
Original domain, efix-users.com being registed and supported by Mike Bulmer.
Till today against him and several other involved persons ASEM have collected over 100MB of evidence.
Mainly this is a group of criminals with different level of criminal activities.

In the past ASEM had several developers who leaked sources or binaries to the hackintosh community.
Those leaked sources or binaries were rebranded and trolls, also persons who scam on ASEM afterwards claimed that
ASEM is using code of community. Till today, since 2007, there is no any evidence, nor prooves for such claims.
Several pseudo technological articles being set against EFiX solution, however it is not difficult to see, that those are nothing else than just trolling-articles.
Now it comes time to reveal all the details regarding stolen information step by step, including the information about persons involved in trolling activities and stealing of ASEMs property.
Announcements will follow portion by portion with time.
Stay tuned.


Mac OS X 10.6.8 drops support for further audio codecs

Postby LogicLight on Sun Jun 26, 2011 11:36 pm

The recently introduced Mac OS X 10.6.8 update drops support for further audio codecs.
First time drop of supported codecs were introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.3 update, where Apple decided to drop support for ALC 888. Now, with Mac OS X 10.6.8 update the "regress" continues and the new introduced update drops the support of ALC 889A, the most wide used audio codec.

Audio codec support in EFiX systems.
Due to the EFiX uses AHDA (ASEM High Definition Audio) Equilibrium system plug-in, so the support for ALC 889A, ALC 888 etc. is directly offered by the AHDA Equilibrium. With Mac OS X 10.6.8 update you may notice some changes in your Audio environment.
This is a sign that your system have being switched to AHDA Equilibrium system already.

In order to help our fellow users to master the current changes and problems introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.8 update, the ASEM R&D team have been working non-stop on reconfiguration of the AHDA Equilibrium System Plug-In for EFiX family and released several Firmware updates.
Please check for EFiX-Firmware announcement section for more information.
viewforum.php?f=49


For information :
AHDA Equilibrium system does not support SPDiF at the moment, but analog outputs/inputs only.

Q: Why after updating to 10.6.3 / 10.6.8 the SPDiF output disappear and channel names becomes different?
And why the sound is somehow different from what i had before?

A: Now you are truly running AHDA Equilibrium system, which was designed to offer Audio support under Mac OS X family. This system started to work for you because of the developers of Max OS X decided to drop some of Audio codecs again, which were originally used by your motherboard.
Since the Mac OS X does not support it anymore officially, so the AHDA Equilibrium does this job for you now. However there are some differences between original HDA support previously offered under Mac OS X and the EFiX AHDA Equilibrium system, so this is why you experience some changes.
ASEM R&D does their best to extend and to develop the Equilibrium family plug-ins further in order to match your expectations and desires and that also in a timely manner, however any development and researches require time.



USERS BEWARE:
DO NOT USE HACKED BOOTERS, THOSE DO CONTAIN CODE WHICH DOES SPY YOUR ACTIVITIES AND VIOLATE YOUR PRIVACY. USE LEGAL PRODUCTS ONLY. DONT TRUST LIES SPREAD BY HACKERS. THEY ARE LAW VIOLATORS !!!
DO NEVER DOWNLOAD MAC OS X FROM TORRENTS, EFiX DOES NOT SUPPORT THOSE.
MAC OS X IS NOT AN EXPENSIVE OS, JUST CHECK APPLE STORE AND BUY IT NOW.
