I've some old files I burned to CDs with a old Mac G4 MD. Loading them into my Hack I get a warning "the disk you attached was not readable". I haven't used these CD's since maybe using Mojave. Had to pull out the Mac G4 and it mounts them just fine. But for some reason OEM manufactured CD's...

Snow Leopard and Mojave. 10.6 really improved performance, cleaned up the UI a bit, but didn't change it much on front end, but mostly backend. 10.14 felt like a sweet spot between all the previous stuff and getting AFPS right, metal, and new security measures, without it being like a hammer...

I just use Clover Configurator. Not popular with the open core crowd, but is very handy. There is a script for generating SMBOIS, I've never used it but it's mentioned often enough https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS

The GPU I have has DVI and HDMI, which all work, so I can't verify for DP.

Yes that is what I am using, see above. Works for all MacOS (for now)

Yeah don't expect much replies, or any, if you are still using Clover. Seems everyone has moved over to OC and forgot this still works just fine. BTW I think there is a thread on that board by someone else. here is what I have:

Short answer, upgraded without any issues. More detailed. I recently did a full update from Monterey to Ventura, by doing a pave and install of my main drive. At which time I also updated to the latest Clover 5155 + kexts. iMacPro is the current selected hardware SMBIOS. I have a secondary...

Hey all. Have this weird problem, I can see the update in sys prefers, it goes through all the motions (downloads, installs, reboots, installs) But once all the finishes I'm back to 12.6.3??? Makes no sense. I thought this might be a SIP issue so I monkeyed around that (changes...

Another update. I finally got around to updating to Monterey, and at the same time fixed my serial number and resetting NVRAM. Thanks to @Edhawk for pointing me in the correct direction with this. Here's what I did. Still using Clover. Before updating to Monterey I updated to the latest...

Just a minor update. A few weeks ago I updated to the latest Clover 5151, and removed the suggested kexts: CPUFriend.kext SMCBatteryManager.kext SMCDellSensors.kext SMCLightSensors.kext & NVMeFix.kext I left HibernationFixup.kext, in place so far. Just because I've had issues in the past with...

I haven't had a chance to go back and fiddle with my Hack. Basically I'm still running what was posted in post #1. Planning to do an update in a couple of weeks when I should have time to play around. I'll updated thread when I do. Your username reminds me of someone else I know on another...

Excellent, thanks again @Edhawk!

I haven't, actually I never ever had to use a recovery partition. I always create an external usb attached drive with a clean bootable system to boot from. My own recovery. But I can tell you they are there in my system for each OS. I'll give it a shot once I have some more time for...

Thanks @Edhawk and @Nodarkthings for the feedback on the kexts. I'll remove those when I get a chance to do some testing. Maybe you might know how to help me fix iCloud. I always get a login in error every time I start up. I believe this is possibly due to my generated serial number. I've...

Thanks! Yes there are some weirdness with multiboot systems on the same drive. You'll see some extra partitions in say Catalina which you won't see in Big Sur and newer, these "update" partitions. I know I have some separate containers, specifically because of Windows, not sure how many others...
