Sorry not sure I understand. Sleep is just the computer going to sleep after not being used, or if I put it to sleep via Apple menu.

I have never used it, so please let me know your settings.
I'm currently in the game so my reply will be delayed.

Both wakes were released in about 2 seconds.

i ve just replaced my EFI with yours and everything works well without change anything... I think

juste two issues for me so far, first I can't open the config plist with ProperTree, it says "unexpected element at line 228"

and the second it that the OpenCore Gui is not showing at booting just normal text boot.

anyways thank you for your EFI

hello
I have the same problem as you!!!! I can't edit the config file. says the error unexpected element at line 228
I have tried to edit another file (it is the EFI that another user put in the catalina thread) and that one does take it well.

I think it's a problem with the original @odisei file
I don't know if I copied it wrong, or the file was uploaded wrong, and that's why when downloading and opening it it gives that error, because with other files it loads well

have you been able to solve it?
@odisei could you upload the EFI file again??

I'm with a hp 8300 ssf i7 3770 3.4 and a 2 gig gt 710

news
I have installed my other ssd with mojave, which is the one I am always using and it works perfectly, and I have tried editing the config.plist of odisei and if you let me edit it!!! So whatever the problem is, it is in the Monterrey installation.

It's strange because when you open genSMBIOS, it first asks you to have python installed and if you don't, it installs it automatically.
then you press 1, and the Install/upodate MacSerial is loaded, all OK
then you press 2 SELECT CONFIG.PLIST and that's where it gives the error in monterrey, but the same file, in mojave, if it loads well, so I deduce that the odisei file must be correct the problem comes from elsewhere.

maybe you need more permissions?

Plistedit Pro never has these kind of problems with a simple plist edit. Give it a try.

I tried it with that program too and I couldn't

Probably best then to make your own config.plist instead of trying to use a damaged one.
The OC package has a sample .plist included. Try starting with that.

@nahec
Now I'm running Ventura 13.2
Here is EFI for that.

Rough steps I followed:

1. Download Ventura 13.2
2. Create bootable USB
3. Copy base of OpenCore 0.8.9
4. Copy kexts:
   
   AppleALC 1.7.8
   IntelMausi 1.0.7
   Lili 1.6.3
   VirtualSMC 1.3.0 -> SMCProcessor, VirtualSMC
   WhateverGreen 1.6.3
   USBPorts (from the thread)
   CryptexFixup 1.0.1 (this one is important to make Ventura work on old Ivy Bridge processors)
   
   
5. Add boot-args to Config.plist to make CryptexFixup work
   <key>boot-args</key>
   <string>-cryptbeta amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 ipc_control_port_options=0</string>
   
   (without this ipc_control_port_options=0 Firefox and Electron-based apps are not going to work)
   
   
6. Insert the proper Serial number, ROM, etc. into ou Config.plist.
7. After successful installation apply OpenCoreLegacyPatcher 0.6.1 to make GPU work

Using my EFI you only need to follow steps 1,2,6 and 7 (of course putting EFI onto a USB drive and then your SSD drive between those steps).
This one is without errors.
To enable GUI in boot selection enable OpenCanopy.efi driver inside Config.plist (section UEFI -> Drivers).

Also, some videos have artifacts when you use Firefox (I guess it's because of CryptexFixup).
But if you're not using Firefox you're fine (In Chrome or Safari it works flawlessly).

Hope my EFI would be helpful and you will be able to install Ventura successfully

That's true that my initial Catalina Config.plist file has errors inside (even though OpenCore is clever enough to ignore those errors and just skip them)
