For RGB RAM control you will need a working SMBus/I2C driver for your chipset. There are VoodooSMBus and VoodooI2C but they do not expose control to userspace, so it isn't possible to write a userspace app that can control the devices. If either project adds a userspace access module, we can...

Yeah, I figure it would be a lot easier with a Core i7 7700k or some other Core i-series CPU but right now any compatible CPU is rather expensive on eBay so I just want to stick with my Pentium if possible.

That's what I tried the other night and I couldn't get it to boot, but I didn't spend a ton of time and it was almost midnight when I started. I need to take another look at it. My problem seems to be the Pentium G4400 CPU I'm trying to use more than the board. I got the board second-hand and...

Unfortunately no news on SMBus RGB yet. I can't test this on a real Mac and I've been having trouble getting Hackintosh set up on the ASUS Intel board I have (Z270 PRIME).

I got the Intel pipeline build working. I ended up setting up a second Homebrew installation in "Rosetta Terminal" and then reconfiguring the make files a bit to check the architecture to determine the Homebrew library path. It uses /opt/homebrew on ARM and /usr/local/lib on Intel. I've...

If you want to try, the latest binaries are here: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/pipelines/latest I'm building using qmake from homebrew. It clearly says arm64 in the build output so I don't think it is universal. I'm not sure what flags/compiler settings I'd need to set to...

Since all my posts with Google Drive links were held for moderation and then disappeared without a trace, go to the OpenRGB GitLab page and you can find builds in the pinned MacOS issue under the issues list. I also just added MacOS CI so pipeline MacOS builds will automatically be created...

I just started up my Hackintosh setup on my Razer Blade Pro 2017 again to see if OpenRGB is still building on MacOS. It is! I was able to build the master branch just fine, and my Razer devices are working now because I'm moving away from depending on OpenRazer. I recently ported the...

90% of RGB products use a USB connection. The real Apple hardware has USB ports, so plenty of RGB devices can be connected. Keyboards, mice, gamepads, ARGB controllers, headsets, accessories, and more can all be tested on the real deal. As long as MacOS has hidapi support, all the USB-based...

The master branch of OpenRGB should build with MacOS, but I haven't tested it in a while. I don't have a very suitable system for Hackintosh apparently, and the experience developing on it is dreadful. I am not really a MacOS fan but I'm intrigued by the Apple M1 chip, and now that Linux is...

You need to install hidapi, I think I used homebrew to install it. Try "brew install hidapi"? It's been a few months since I setup the MacOS build environment. How are builds usually distributed for MacOS? I'm not sure how to package a build.

I pushed a change to OpenRGB today that gets the master branch building on MacOS. Please test if you can. Still no SMBus, but I think all USB HID devices should be supported. It may still need some tweaking.

Just rebased my macos_devel branch again. Pretty much all USB devices are building now, and a lot of them have been migrated to hidapi to hopefully work on MacOS now. Serial port devices and SMBus devices are still not working. It also seems some hidapi devices aren't being detected, such as...

It should be supported in master. You may have to create a udev rule for it or run the OpenRGB app as root in order to have the correct USB permissions. I've just rebased the macos_devel branch to the latest master. I started pushing some MacOS specific project configuration to master, though...

It's not enabled in the macos branch yet, but yes it should work. I have an Aura Core driver based on Will Roberts' rogauracore.
