# Tips, how-to, and some known errors:
- How to install it using a USB Flash drive (8GB min needed)
Click here for the another forum thread about this or click here.

- If you're experiencing problems with Sleep/Wake:
Disable your USB Charger and USB Legacy Mode on BIOS. This WILL FOR SURE solve your problem, if it doesn't, then you need to reapply the kexts.

- If you need to buy a BlueTooth USB Dongle:
This one worked.

- Drivers to the WUSB54GC WiFi USB Adapter and installation guide.
Click here.

- Kext that makes possible mirroring the screen using an external display:
Click here.

- The battery meter is not working properly.
Apparently, a lot of people is experiencing problems with the battery meter (an X appears instead of the meter), although some people said this not happens when you install Mac OS X from a USB Flash Drive. Need more info in this issue.

This post is in constant development, please, if you have anything to add, remove or edit, contact me and I'll try to change it.

I've noticed this too. Probably OSX or the bluetooth kext doesn't wake the bluetooth module correctly when returning from sleep. A reboot seems to be the only way to fix this; I haven't found any other ways (but haven't looked for them yet ..)

@astrological Nice work to collate all the info - well done m8

Due to a loss of a fellow apple hacker ive not been around for a while. I did today receive shipment of a Wifi Chip via Ebay - installed in a few seconds and VOILA the NB205 becomes a 100% true OSX Netb00k This is all down to wingzero619 lets all not forget that --

@calic0: Thanks for the props. After this project was done, I moved on to the new Sony Vaio W series netbook. I just got done with that one as well. I've been busy with work and so I've been working late hours and not enough time left to come on the site to comment. I'm still around and I have more videos to put up. I have them in raw but need to edit them and post them to my site for the Toshiba lovers. I'm shooting for some time this week to post the videos. I'm also going to be doing more of a slim install so it will cut away some of the steps. I know I mentioned it in an earlier post, but I will post it up when I get a chance. I'm glad that the majority of the hackint0shers here benefited from everyone's input.

@wingzero619 Nice one - I love to have the Sony - how you rate it over the Toshiba ... Sony creates class products, so does apple - Had my kid call up today as he was in a apple store buying his first Mac


Reading back into the comments and there are a lot __ Anyone just reading these Just follow wingzero619 path word for word (no Straying from the Path!) and your have a nice OSX Netbook

Thanks again everyone for the great material. The only thing that is a real problem is lack of Microphone support. Has anyone gotten the mic to work?

Thanks

@calic0: Well in terms of hardware, the Sony has the better build. Not only that, the Sony netbook has a display resolution of 1366x768. For me, it was worth the extra $100 bucks. It's not as easy to hackint0sh, but I've put my blood and sweat into it and my Toshiba now sits in the corner collecting dust. Although, I do turn it on and use it when I'm working on my coffee table. Although on the Toshiba, the card readers work (I'm not a card reader person) and the brightness functions work. Not that much difference but for the Sony, the auto audio switching works and Photobooth works with the camera. Now that's more of a benefit than the card readers lol.

I'm actually eating dinner right now while I type. Also landed about an hour ago... so I'm tired and hungry lol. I'll catch up with you guys later.

Just For Your Information:
Report that Atheros AR9281 working out of box in snow leopard
finally atheros 9281 wifi working.. - InsanelyMac Forum

I hope someone will able to rewrite the driver to support Atheros AR9285 (originally in Toshiba NB200[205]).

@EtHANBB: I have the snow leopard kext and still working on it. I don't want to upgrade with Snow Leopard yet. I'm going to clone my hard drive and upgrade the clone to see if everything still works. I don't feel like reinstalling everything on my vaio lol. Done!
