Hi,
Had I known no one else has had success going to Catalina with this board I probably wouldn’t have tried it myself!
But, I'm glad I didn't know that as Ive got it running pretty smooth so far! I followed these instructions on updating to Catalina:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/update-directly-to-macos-catalina.284463/
Which is to directly update via the Catalina app from the App Store, no UniBeast necessary, which I believe UniBeast is just for booting and installing on a new empty hard drive, not an existing Hackintosh. I did also update from 10.13.6 High Sierra in case that makes ant difference, I'm also on 17,1 SMBIOS as recommended by
@pastrychef
Notes:
Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101)
Pretty much everything works so far, iCloud, SideCar with my iPad Pro (main reason I wanted to upgrade to Catalina), iMessage and hand off work, bluetooth, and airdrop all work fine. I even managed to get Apple TV+ APP and DRM protected content in Safari using the bootArg: shikigva=80, This requires certain AMD graphics (see this post about that:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/an-idiots-guide-to-lilu-and-its-plug-ins.260063/#DRM-AMD )
All in all I'm up and running without any issues, I occasionally get a graphics glitch of artifacts flash on the screen for a split second, but Ive always had this issue with this build and its very rare, Other issue I've had with this build from day one is sometimes my Bluetooth mouse will lag really bad when my processor is working hard (at least I notice my computer fans are louder when this issue comes up– This could be an issue with the mouse as I have not tested it with another Bluetooth mouse, but its frustrating enough that I've switched to wired mouse.
Hope you are able to get it running with the Catalina update method mentioned above!
