Yes I would like to ask a question my apologies if its been asked before, on the Magic keyboards et al, there are function keys like screen brightness, audio volume, play and pause controls in iTunes, F4 brings up recently used apps, F3 tiles the desktop.

Could you confirm if these work, or would work with an appropriate keyboard, Monitor ?

Can confirm the keyboard works ok and all function keys that you asked work (except for the brightness one). I use OC to boot and the keyboard works at the OC boot menu too (with the lightning cable - Bluetooth of course will not work at that point). I use a Dell DW1560 wireless card.

Hello CaseySJ,

Sorry if I'm being a pain with this, I have had a read the two links regarding the Shiki patches and nowhere does it mention what the shikigva=32 is used for. shikigva=32 is what is preset if you follow the **Mini-guide for Direct Installation of Catalina 10.15.1 and Newer** The links for the Shiki patches mention the other boot arguments just not =32.

As I have a RX 5700 XT, should I perhaps be making mine =128 and changing my Mac in the SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 as I briefly read somewhere in another post. Also will Shiki even work with the -wegoff argument in place? (-wegoff is in place to fix my random freeze issues)

I am having problems with the Apple TV app. When I begin to play an Apply TV+ series, it begins to show the video and then closes back to the main Apple TV menu. Just wondering if this might have something to do with Shiki?

Read this please - https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.Chart.md and https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/an-idiots-guide-to-lilu-and-its-plug-ins.260063/#DRM-IGPU

You could try 1.1 with no Shiki flag.
You can leave the IGPU disabled or Enabled
<From link 2 above>

I do not have the card but im sure the answers are in the developer Manual.

Hey mate, is there a simple way of changing my SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 from iMac19,1 without destroying my system? What do you see the benefits being in me doing this? I also have my Shikigva set to =32 (Not sure what 32 is for as I have read the compatibility charts for this and they mention nothing about (32)) Perhaps I need to change this to =128. (I have the RX 5700 XT GPU)

SMBIOS can be changes easily through clover configurator. You can either
1. Change the SMBIOS and generate a new Serial number in which case you would need to license all your software again or
2. You could keep your serial number and just change the SMBIOS (the long term effects of this is unknown). I have done this personally and has been stable for me.

Keep a bootable backup ready before attending,ting #1 or #2 for just in case .
For shiki - read this

Hi guys,

First of all, thank you @CaseySJ for the great guide. I followed the OpenCore beta guide for a fresh Catalina install and everything worked super smoothly, except for the fact that I can't get sleep to reliably work. I used all the aml files from the zip for port mapping, etc.

As soon as I try to put the system to sleep, it immediately wakes again and will then cycle between the two until I wake it up properly with a mouse click or key press. In the system log, the wake reason is "XHC" so I suspect it's some sort of USB issue. I've unplugged basically everything from all USB ports (including the Fenvi-919 connector, as well as the internal USB3.1 front panel connectors), to no avail.

Is there an additional step of USB port mapping I need to do? I used @hylkepylke 's DSDT file so I had assumed the ports were already correct.

I've disabled wake on LAN, power nap, all of the obvious things. Anything else I might be missing?

Thank you!

Casey what an incredible guide.. I just ordered this board to pair with my i7-8700K Coffee Lake CPU I’m currently running in an AORUS 370 Gaming 7. I’ve got it running at around 98%. I’m hoping to have 100% by following this road map really thorough and clean. Thank you.

My question for you is this, I currently have a TB3 Alpine Ridge card working do you know if I could add it to this new board with the Titan ridge? Or would they conflict? Would be nice to have 4 TB3 ports like my ’18 Mac Mini. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I have this board and this card. If you've installed it into slot 4, I have a patch for you. @kgp is the original author of the patch and @CaseySJ @LeleTuratti and @jb007 had a hand in here, too at some point, even if it was giving advice. It's been passed around had its RP and "___" Ridge-type changed as needed. RP21 for my GB-Z370-GA7 and RP05 for the Z390 board of this thread.

Happy New Year everyone!

Discovered an oddity: I can only get quick charging for phones (tried with iPhone X, iPhone 7 Plus and Nexus 6P) through the front USB 3.0 ports. With any of the back ports (haven't tried the USB-C/tb3 ports) they're limited to 500 mA. I'm using @hylkepylke's DSDT.aml and SSDT-Z390-DESIGNARE-TB3HP-V4.aml in my ACPI folder (OC), with USBInjectAll.kext. Any idea what could be wrong?

 

[jiffyslot]

Is the power patch "pointing" only at the HS/SS ports on the front and missing the rear ports? Or is the patch supposed to be applying high power to every HS/SS port possible?

Apple TV is DRM content mostly. Check my Designare + Radeon VII build linke below about the topic.
