I"m running Monterey and I'm only doing so because of my need for FireWire for CoreAudio. I was able to install Ventura, but wiped it and went back to Monterey when I discovered Apple ripped that out of Ventura. I'd like to test injecting the AppleFWAudio.kext from Monterey into Ventura with...

I just discovered that Ventura can see my FireWire card but they have apparently decided in their infinite wisdom to remove their FireWire stack. Is there a workaround? Monterey still provides FireWire support. The card shows Up as normal but .. there's no protocol stack as they seemed to...

I'm able to boot OpenCore (from a working Clover) and spent Hours checking whether the settings were correct but I didn't disconnect my NIC once when I was testing config.plist changes and now I have TWO iMacs with identical serial numbers (but one says 'This Mac' and the other asks whether I...

Let's say you have a MAC like from the Dortania guide of 00:16:CB:00:11:22 If I put 0016CB001122 into the ROM using OpenCore Configurator, I'll end up with something very Different than 0016CB001122 when I look at the actual config.plist? So . should I be entering this directly into the...

Usining OpenCore 0.8.5 - I was able to attempt a virgin install to an uninitialized NVMe from a USB drive using an EFI from an identical motherboard and video card that's working fine with Ventura. However, about 5 seconds after the Apple progress bar appeared I got this series of pictures...

@frontgear I noticed that you got Monterey working with OpenCore!! I can no longer add comments to our original GA-Z270XP-SLI setup thread where we got Mojave installed a few Years ago? Would it be possible for you to post your OpenCore EFI here? And did you replace your Samsung 960 Pro as...

I've hesitated to upgrade from 10.15 to Monterey due to the change Apple made that Broke Carbon Copy and forced it to use the less than reliable and far less robust Apple ASR. Is there a workaround? And for a hackintosh .. will it still be possible to boot from an external drive (after ...

I just read the technote on this that indicates when making bootable copy of a drive, that CC must use Apple's 'ASR' which seems to be Far less reliable? Am I misreading this, or ... is Big Sur moving backwards as far as making a verified bootable backup? I was just now going to upgrade from...

I recently had an issue where a config.plist patch, apparently incorrect or no longer valid, had existed for Years on my config.plist as shown in this thread on the correct patch for SATA Hot-plug. Many others had the exact same problem, which had a number of side effects. I'm curious if there...

I'm considering moving to VirtualSMC.kext. In the past, this has been paired with VirtualSMC.efi, but now OpenCore includes support so VirtualSMC.efi is no longer needed with OpenCore. I'm using OcQuirks with Clover r5107 running 10.15.4. I'm guessing that OcQuirks includes support, so that...

I have a working 10.14.6+ system and am attempting to directly upgrade to 10.15.3. I'm using 5104 CloverHacky and have 10.14.6+ running on a bootable Crucial SATA SSD. A Samsung 960 Pro NVMe is also visible (no way to disable with GA=Z270XP-SLI). Kexts in /L/E very latest AppleALC, WEG...

Other than not being able to open Reminders and Notes using Mojave without messing up Reminders and Notes on IOS 13 & iPadOS 13, are there any real advantages to upgrading to Catalina? I'm a bit concerned about the news that Apple will enforce notarization of apps on Catalina - which might kill...

I've got a Kaby Lake i7-7700K that's using a Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT-XCPM.aml for power management. This was created by a friend 2 years ago for 10.12.6, I would guess from Pike's script? Is creating an SSDT as in macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management still the preferred method - or has...

I'm having trouble getting to 1st base and creating the Mojave install with my Sierra 10.12.6. After downloading the 10.14.6 "full install" of 22.7 MB (obviously just a loader file), I followed the instructions for the 2nd method to create the Real full install from...

What are the terminal commands to install a kext into a non-working Sierra system other than the one I'm booted from? In this case, I actually need to 'refresh' the kext, as the Security Update 2017-001 seems to have messed with it in some fashion - but I'd certainly like to know the 'correct'...

I just installed today's updates for Sierra. I believe they were the security fix for the KRACK wifi explot, iTunes and Safari. I'm getting this 100% repeatable crash that seems to involve the nvidia driver. I don't have the nvidia drivers for Sierra installed. I'm running an older GTX-285...

This is a placeholder at the moment for anyone to comment who has the same motherboard and processor running 10.12.6, but not necessarily a Samsung 960 Pro, as that setup is a bit unique. Hopefully we can share config.plist, kexts that work, and tips and I'll be updating this work-in-progress...

Using the latest CC and a 10.12.6 install, I cloned my hard drive to a 256GB Sandisk thumb. I said yes to creating the recovery partition. I can boot with the thumb drive and I see that it has an EFI partition that seems identical to my boot hard drive - so I assumed that CC was copying the...

On my existing real Mac Pro 2008, when I want to change the boot volume, I just use preferences. I can easily Carbon Copy to a different volume and can then use Preferences to change the boot volume to test it. With a Hackintosh, I'm unclear on what I should do? Do I change the boot volume in...

I notice that the current versions of UniBeast and MultiBeast use Clover_v2.4k_r4045-UEFI-UB.pkg and Clover_v2.4k_r4063-UEFI.pkg, while clover is at Clover_v2.4k_r4114. 1. Should I update the files of each before using in some fashion? I notice that the package inside the latest Clover is in a...
