Since my current CustoMac shall not support El Capitan, due to the lack of SSE4.1 on the CPU, I am thinking on switching using Sierra on another machine. There is a SSE4.1 CPU, but I can not finish booting the installer due to lack on graphics kext. The El Capitan pen drive created with Unibeast, with Nvidia graphics injected boots up fine, so it seems now that only the lack of graphics kext does prevent me from turn that machine into a CustoMac. So, is there any way to replicate the Unibeast Nvidia inject on the Sierra installation pen drive? Shall I ran the option from Multibeast on the pen drive?

If you need to inject nVidia, but do not need the alternate web drivers, you can either edit your config.plist with a plist editor, select it in MultiBeast and MB will make the edit, or you can use Clover Configurator and choose it there on the Graphics page.

What exactly should I edit in a plist editor? Can a plist be loaded in Multibeast? For what I knew, that was not possible.

Try this. This has (inject nvidia) true. Before it was False.

Thank you, it works. But now I have uppgraded the CPU on the oldmachine and it works. Managed to install Sierra, altough with issues. What did you do? You changed a word in the plist. How can I find it and edit it myself, in case I shall need it? Changing the boot arguments was possible by searching Arguments.

To inject Nvidia by editing the plist. In case of future installations of MacOS (OS X), to handle the issue myself. I have searched the plist from Edit-Find for Nvidia and found the graphics section and Inject Nvidia True. So, all it was necessary was to change false to true there? Can I change for all, not just for Nvidia, but for Intel or ATI, or just one has to be?

Don't edit plists with TextEdit. Use a PlistEditor.
