For some reason, HackinDROM says that 0.9.2 is "current" when run on the Hackintosh and doesn't have enough room if I try to update over top of the 0.9.2 when run my MBP. The other challenge is that the Finder is currently crippled on the Hackintosh, making any work very, very, very slow (I...

I'm in a serious bind -- my z390 Designare based system installed Sonoma over top of Ventura without me realizing (I didn't think it would apply major version updates without user intervention.) Now, my Radeon VII isn't recognizing my 4K screen after the OC bootloader (the screen works fine...

On an unrelated note: what system ID are people using for their z390? I've been using imac19,1, but I think it's causing issues with my dGPU rendering -- Compressor is barely using the GPU to transcode, but is hitting the first 8 cores of my CPU hard. (I've tried using unfairvga bootargs to...

Thanks! I'm aware (and I need to get one, eventually, for mobile production) -- I was just on a 24 hour deadline and needed to fulfill a client need. I honestly haven't needed an optical drive (to read or burn media) in 5 years.

I had a friend pull a Philips DVD8881 from a chassis I'd given him a long time ago and it, oddly, works perfectly fine in my Hackintosh with no changes to the config. The Hitachi drive may just be bad. (He's going to pop it into his Linux box and see if it mounts.) ETA: I'm going to look into...

No optical media that’s bootable. No other machines with space for optical drives (an MBP, a 2015 Mini, and a G4 cube that hasn’t been powered on in years). Swapping SATA headers and cables has no effect. Booting in as another admin account has no effect.

Unfortunately, the hackintosh is the only machine I have with an optical drive. And the Mac Pro has long since found a new home. No media mounts, so nothing appears in Finder, FCPX, VLC, iTunes, etc.

I have a head-scratcher that I've not been able to figure out: my optical drive does not mount any media. I've tried commercially produced DVDs, audio CDs, data discs, or blank media. Nothing. However, It shows correctly in System Profiler and responds to the eject key (so I don't think it's...

On the #1 post of the thread, you can find @CaseySJ's custom EFI under the "Spoiler: Quick Reference to Mini-Guides and Micro-Guides" heading. This is the latest Mini-Guide with 0.8.3 EFI (Just don't forget to transfer your System Serial Info.)

That did it. Thank you. Is there value in updating to F9i?

I’m using BIOS vF8, which doesn’t have CFG-Lock in the BIOS Boot settings.

After the CMOS reset, I have a new problem: it doesn’t progress past the Apple on boot (no progress bar; I reset the BIOS settings twice using the guide at the beginning of the thread, just to be sure I hadn’t missed something) Here’s where it hangs with Cmd-V held down at boot: ETA: I get the...

I'm having an issue with my Apple BCM4350C2 being nonfunctional since updating to 0.8.3 (originally using HackinDROM) in OS 12.5.1. The hardware is recognized but shows a 'NULL' address. I'm beginning to suspect a hardware failure, as downgrading to my 0.8.2 backup didn't fix it, and using...

With your Skylake processor and a 100-series motherboard, the earliest version of Mac OS X that will work is 10.11.1 (El Capitan); 10.11.4 is the earliest version with full support for the 170x chipset, including the HD530 iGPU. Mac OS X 10.6 is far too old to run on the hardware you have. You...

Under F20, the Multibeast HD530 fix causes kernel panics on boot (3/8ths through the Apple screen progress bar). Audio and Ethernet (both ports show as en0, so only one works) work, though. EDIT: FakeID graphics entries were causing the panic. Removing those restored booting.
