CustomBeast Now Available for NVIDIA 4xx Graphics Cards + USB 3.0 Support

CustomBeast is now available for NVIDIA 4xx graphics cards!  Supported specs now include any Gigabyte H55, P55, or X58 motherboard with any NVIDIA graphics card. 

In other news we have made some changes to CustomBeast.  During our testing we have found that the MacPro3,1 smbios.plist provides the best performance.  Because of this, we are removing the option for System Identification.  As an added bonus, we will now be including USB 3.0 drivers for supported motherboards.

How To Get iBoot Functionality From MultiBeast

One of the top questions on the forum these days seems to be how to get the functionality of iBoot when booting from the hard drive. For novices, it seems like the process ends after the Combo Update. But iBoot was designed as an installation tool only- not as a permanent solution for post-installation. It is NOT a boot crutch. By using it as such, you are limiting the functionality and upgradeability of your system. Fortunately, MultiBeast contains the same drivers and files as iBoot and can allow most things to work without using a DSDT.

We created MultiBeast to solve the post-installation problem. When installed, the following MultiBeast options will allow boot from a 1 TB or less hard drive or partition, universal audio, network, and graphics. These are not the only drivers available, and may not give optimized performance. However, these options will allow you to be rid of iBoot as a boot crutch.

To benefit from our most recommended and DSDT-optimized solutions for post-installation, submit a CustomBeast request. If your build has compatible hardware, we'd be happy to build you a personalized customized post-install solution.

Good luck, and see you on the forum!

CustomBeast: Simple Personalized Post-Installation Solution

CustomBeast is an all-in-one personalized post-installation solution.  It is designed for users who want their system up and running quickly with minimal effort and maximum performance.  With a simple click-through interface, CustomBeast will enable boot from hard drive, graphics, sound, network, and configuration optimization through installation of the proper boot loader, DSDT and kexts. 

You can be assured that your CustomBeast is tailor-made for your system, as the software is built to order.  Verified and tested to make sure that any post-install headaches are minimized.  It's your own personalized app to use any time you install. 

For now, CustomBeast is limited to Gigabyte H55, P55, or X58 motherboards with NVIDIA graphics.  We want to make sure we can deliver a working system.  CustomBeast delivers the same DSDTs available through the DSDT Database, and does not install any CPU-specific or graphics information in your DSDT.  CustomBeast does not deliver support for wireless cards and adapters.  As drivers become available, and reliable solutions appear, we will consider including a wider variety of systems and components.  Of course, it takes time and effort to build these installers from the ground up.  A contribution to the CustomBeast Project is required.
