I know this is kind of an old thread, but I'm using USBToolBox to map my USB ports on an ASRock Z490 Phantom ITX/TB3 board. I'm running the Windows version of USBToolBox from a Windows PE boot disk. I'm still a little confused about companion ports. I've disabled the automatic binding of...

I decided to upgrade my Custo Mac after about 6 years or so. I bought an ASROCK Z490/TB mainboard, an Intel 10700 CPU with 630 graphics, and some memory. My old machine was using Clover to boot, so I'm going to use OC this time around and I plan on installing Ventura. I've read through the...

Ok. I think I need to think about this and see how married I am to my Catalina installation. Right now it's on a 256GB SSD and I have a 512GB SSD I wanted to upgrade to. Maybe it's better to just start with a fresh install of MacOS with OC from the start. I've got a lot of reading to do in...

I've been scanning through this thread and I'm not sure I've seen what I'm looking for. I have a Hacky running Catalina with Clover that I want to migrate to OC. Can this tool help me build a USB with an EFI folder that I can use to test out OC and see if my existing Catalina will boot with...

My Hacky hasn't been used much in the last year, so I've been getting it updated. I'm running Catalina 10.15.7 with the latest security patches. I currently have Clover 5119. I updated my main kexts in CLOVER/kexts/other: AppleALC IntelMausi Lilu SMCProcessor SMCSuperIO VirtualSMC...

So, I guess what I'm not understanding is I thought that the APFS volumes are supposed to dynamically resize as needed. Even though my system drive is the last one, all the others should be dynamic with the one "DataDrive" set with a minimum of 60 GB. Could someone post a diskutil listing of...

Well, I do remember I struggled a bit with manually creating the volumes during install. I was trying to make sure I got the 60 GB DataDrive volume in there. So, I might have created and deleted a few volumes along the way. I actually already have a second SSD which I didn't include in that...

diskutil shows the following which explains the six volumes: /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *240.1 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI...

I'm running Catalina 10.15.7 on my Hackintosh. I use a 250GB SSD for the main drive. When I installed, I created 2 volumes. One called BruceSys which is the OS volume, and a second volume called DataDrive which is 60 GB. There's an EFI partition there as well that was created during the...

Wow, I was on High Sierra and I was just too worried it wouldn't go well, so I wiped it and started from scratch and installed Catalina. It wasn't clear to me how the APFS conversion would go, plus I wanted to switch to using mostly Lilu and it's add-ons. So, I just started over and I'll try to...

I'm trying to play with my layout ids for my audio as I'm not getting 5.1 surround with my ALC1220 chipset. I'm trying to follow the directions you have for moving to device properties instead of the legacy clover injection. I had the old setting injecting layout 2. When I ran hackintool, and...

I never got an answer to the above. How could someone make a USB if they don't have the whole install media downloaded?

This may be a silly question, but when from the AppStore I said to upgrade to Catalina, it downloaded the "Install macOS Catalina" app, but it's only 16MB. When I launch it, it goes right to setup and prompts me for what disk to install to, so I bail out. How can I get it to download the...

I have a build I did maybe 3 years ago. I'm using a Gigabyte H270N-WIFI board with a KabyLake i5-7400 CPU. I've not used it in about a year and a half. It's currently running High Sierra 10.13.5. It was working ok. Of course the wifi and bluetooth were not working, but that's ok. The hard...

Aha! I checked a little more closely and I saw in Clover Configurator that while I changed the port limit patch find/replace values based on what was in the High Sierra upgrade thread, I didn't see that the match OS string was for 10.12.x. I set it correctly for 10.13.0-10.13.3 and now my USB 3...
