Absolutely! In my case, it was when I had to pay a fortune to an Apple certified repair shop (there was no Apple Store 200 km around here at that time) for changing a faulty NVidia GC in a 2008 iMac that I could easily have changed myself if it was a pc... I was lucky to find a buyer at a good...
I've been using myself "Mac Arena" for naming a folder where I put all Mac stuff, would be a nice name for that joint too! (and less prone to lawsuits :lol:)
EDIT: in case you don't get it, the pun is about the song Macarena. ;)
• I'm still using my iMac G5 as an (admittedly expensive :mrgreen:) alarm clock (waking up to the sound of my favourite radio station, with a carefully crafted fade-in made with an applescript).
I used to run torrent apps at the same time, but all of them ceased to work reliably years ago.
The...
I'm using specific versions of some kexts that I put in /Kexts/10.9/ and /Kexts/10.11/. I think even on my first trials (back in 0.6.7), this was working (provided you set config.plist accordingly). Those kexts are RealtekRTL8111.kext and AppleALC.kext in my case.
Now that I've put my nose in ScanPolicy again, here is the things to know to customise it to your needs:
- the first bits (OC_SCAN_FILE_SYSTEM_LOCK and OC_SCAN_DEVICE_LOCK) are mandatory
- then you have to check both the filesystems AND the interfaces.
Fixed! :thumbup: I've verified each and every bit one by one.
I'm happy I have contributed to find that long standing issue. :headbang:
Thanks for your involvement!
Absolutely! A nice GUI gives you a sense of security when you're new to hackintosh. I don't know how I would have managed without Multibeast or Clover Configurator, a few years ago. ;)
Thanks for this nice write-up.
I don't deny it might be a nice app, but I'm probably "old school" and I feel I have more control using ProperTree and OCConfigCompare, and they amount to a few KB instead of 20 or 30 MB for OCAT...
I usually do these things for software that I use, but currently I don't have much time and I don't use OCC, so if on your side you have more time and want to warn mackie100, feel free to use my screen captures if needed. Thanks. :thumbup:
I've put side by side OCC's ScanPolicy local menu (French on the left, English on the right), it doesn't even have the same labels!!! :eek:
Who knows if other languages are affected...
Yes, ScanPolicy is a bit of a black art. ;) I wanted to warn you to be cautious when trying, but I was in a rush yesterday. Luckily, you sorted it out! :thumbup:
Hi guys!
I've found the gist of why OCC behaves differently for me and for @oli.mathieu, my intuition was good: I've changed my system language and keyboard to English instead of French and bingo!
Well, I don't know for you, but for me an app that gives a different value if you change the OS or...
Good if it works for you, but very strange...
I've checked multiple times across the years, included the latest version this morning and always have the same results... I can't figure out any reason why it's good for you and not for me (just because I'm French maybe? :lol: ), but whatever the...
FWIW, my ScanPolicy is set to 3738371 on my main computer where there's no Windows installed and 0 on the one with Windows.
EFI won't show in both, I guess if not on the second one it's probably because the EFI partition is not called "EFI"... (I kept "NO NAME", as it was set by Windows)
Note...
I only replaced BOOTx64.efi without the .contentVisibilty file but my ScanPolicy was already set to hide EFI partitions... Might it be something about your ScanPolicy value or other setting?
You might try with the .contentVisibilty file inside the /OpenCore-0.8.8-RELEASE/X64/EFI/BOOT/ folder and...
