it will probably show up if you enable it:

<dict>
                <key>Arguments</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>Reset Nvram in OC boot menu</string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Path</key>
                <string>ResetNvramEntry.efi</string>
                <key>LoadEarly</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>

I have tried Enabled=true before. Turns out one has to set Mics > Boot > HideAuxiliry to false also. Anyway, reseting NVRAM made no difference. I will try Clover next.

@trs96 Some progress. I was able to get into the Installer once. Thinking I was good to go I replaced my Windows disk with another disk to do the install for real. On subsequent reboot, I get the the same POST error about system time. See attached screen photo. After that it hanged again, but at different point this time. See attached.

My previous attempts could have been due to bad a USB--it eventually died. I put Windows disk back and tried the USB again, but no go. Any thoughts what is going on. The good is that I was able to get into the Installer once.

Success! Ventura 13.0.1 has been installed! I had to copy the Apple Install App onto the USB again. The EFI I used is in my previous post. Graphics is shown as Intel HD 630 1536 MB. It does not feel accelerated. No sound, but I was not expecting it at point.

Wow, it is so different. System Settings look more like something on the iPhone. Have to tried to reboot from SSD.

Good news. What was the OC version on the usb that got you to the installer ?
Hackintoshing is kind of like sculpture. You keep chipping away at it little by little until
you get to the point it starts to look like something you want it to. Persistence is everything.

System Settings look more like something on the iPhone.

The whole purpose of making macOS look more like iOS is so that iPhone users (millions more than Mac users) can feel right at home when they ditch their old Windows PC and buy a Mac laptop or desktop for the first time.

0.8.6. hopefully it will boot from the SSD. Thak you for all your help...

 

[trs96]

Thank you for all your help...

No problem, good to see you get Ventura installed. Just make sure to not post your serial # in a screenshot once you get it finalized.

@trs96 How can I tell if the graphics are really accelerated? They seem a little slow.


Also there seem to be an inconsistency between the Guide:

Desktop Kaby Lake | OpenCore Install Guide (dortania.github.io). (I use this)

AAPL,ig-platform-id	Comment
00001259	Used when the Desktop iGPU is used to drive a display

and

Intel GPUs | GPU Buyers Guide

Supported iGPUs:

• HD 615
• HD 620
• HD 630
• Iris Plus 640
• Iris Plus 650

Framebuffer:

• AAPL,ig-platform-id (desktop):
  • 0x59160000 (default)
    • 00001659 (hex swapped) <------ ?????

Is is this an error?
