<h2>Project 081</h2>
<p><strong>Project 081 is no longer maintained. I know this may be disappointing for some of you, but I do not have time to maintain a project I do not use, and a project which is never going to be perfect anyway. I am going to keep the project up for anyone who wants to use it, but I will not be providing support to anyone requesting it.</strong></p>
<p>Disclaimer: Project 081 is nonfree software, because it is based on Apple's nonfree software. I cannot do anything about that unfortunately. I do not recommend that you use nonfree software like Project 081, and I am only providing links because I have worked on it access to the source code. You have been warned.</p>
<p>Project 081 is a modified Mac OS X 10.4.10 Tiger image that allows you to install Tiger on your <em>officially</em> unsupported Late 2007 and Early 2008 Apple Macs.</p>
<p>It comes with many drivers and tweaks to improve the experience on unsupported hardware.</p>
<h2>Why does this need to exist?</h2>
<p>Apple Macs released Late 2007 or later officially only support Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard because Apple doesn't care about backwards compatibility. This doesn't matter for most people because Leopard is a fancy new release that brought many features.</p>
<p>But Leopard also dropped 'Classic' support. Classic allowed you to run <em>classic</em> Mac OS 9 applications on Mac OS X. Many users had these fancy new Macs but couldn't run their old Mac OS 9 applications. And Apple refused to allow users to officially install Tiger.</p>
<p>Project 081 aims to solve this by providing a modified Mac OS X image which has customized drivers and settings that work better with the newer hardware of Late 2007/Early 2008 Apple Macs.</p>
<p>This works similar to a Hackintosh. Difference is this doesn't require and use a custom bootloader such as OpenCore, Clover, Chameleon or one of many other bootloaders out there. Project 081 is similar to GNU/Linux distributions in that they're a bundle of software, settings, configurations and drivers.</p>
<h2>How does this add better hardware support?</h2>
<p>Essentially, the installer has been modified to run a custom 'Project 081' package or .pkg. This package contains modified system files which replace the originals. You can also view the customized packages since I tried my best to support freedom.</p>
