Hi all, Quick update: I got High Sierra up and running with Mac mini late 2012 smbios. Turns out I had forgotten to put the graphics card drivers in the kexts \ other folder. Now it's working great! I'm getting notifications to say that I can update to Mojave. Would it be compatible with this...

Hi pgreezy, I have just read over your tutorial again. I don't really understand the part about installing the graphics card? High Sierra works well with Ritchie's but when the graphics card is inserted I get a black screen, like you said will probably happen. How should I go about installing...

Makes sense, thanks for you fast reply nevertheless :)

Hi all, I have just had my Dell Low profile ATI Radeon HD5450 512mb delivered and put it in the PC. First, I just got a max fan speed and no boot. Took it out and put it back in and now im getting normal fan speed and a picture however: When I use Ritchie's EFI I get a black screen after a bit...

Hi there, Just running a quick Geekbench test an I'm only getting 831 on the single core and 2922 on multi core. Is this the right results? I wonder if the cpu is not boosting? Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the info. I'm currently not using any graphics card. (Onboard one?) Do you know if there's a way to get round this? Thanks! Edit: I have seen a Lenovo 89Y6152 Radeon HD5450 512MB PCIe Display Port Low Profile Graphics Card on ebay for cheap. Would this work with your efi folder?

Update! I managed to get the installer to show up in clover. However, upon selecting to enter the installer (High Sierra) I get a panic and restart. It goes by quite fast so not sure what it says. Any ideas would be much appreciated! pgreezy - what smbios are you using for Catalina install...

Hi all, Just looking at this thread and thinking of doing hackintosh to my optiplex 380. Its the smallest one there is so need a low profile graphics card but did see that Ritchie333 is using a Quadro 410 which does have an adapter for a low profile case (about $5 on ebay so dirt cheap) I might...

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Hi there, Just wondering if you could share your EFI folder and your current version of mac os? Also, how is it working for you?

Had a look at this and it does not seem to work

Hi again, all working well, even got verbose disabled. Is there a way to enable the boot chime? Had a look about online but I cant seem to find how to enable it? Thanks :)

Hi again, The windows bsod issue is back. How do I submit a log to you? I see something about ACPI when booting into mac in verbose mode too.

Hi again, Windows seems to boot now from opencore? No idea whats going on there but not complaining :clap: :lol: I had a look in opencore configurator but could not see where to remove the -v boot flag? I know how to in clover but not this. Please could you advise? Cheers, Ethan

Thanks I will try later. How do I upload logs? Never had to do that before, although it appears it might be an issue with windows so a re-install of that too might be on the cards which isn't a big deal. I had a look at the boot flags in opencore but couldn't see anything. I will have a look...

Not sure, It just shows a Windows BSOD and the AHCI BIOS Error. F12 method works fine for me, but my mum uses the laptop and needs a GUI to go over to windows :lol: When did you make the changes? I only download the folder from 15:00 UTC today so would it be after then? When booting mac I get...

Hi erinviegas, hope you're well. Got Big Sur working all fine with trackpad, sound sleep and external display all working well. When I try to boot into windows from open core (NVMe drive) I get BSOD and AHCI BIOS Error. If I boot in directly (spamming f12 and enter on the drive) it boots up just...

Thanks for this erinviegas. Used your mojave and catalina guide for my laptop and it worked just fine. Got an SSD coming tomorrow so that if anything goes wrong I can just swap it to catelina again (need it for college on 23rd) so will report back soon, hopefully with good news!

Got it all working after reinstalling. Decided that I'm going to give upgrading a go after getting some food. Other than the kexts did you find any other issues along the way? Cheers, Ethan :) Update: No joy. It wont even boot into the installer from a USB. Maybe a driver problem or my WD...

Hello again, Over the past few days iv'e been having issues with the wifi card. It keeps dropping out and then when I reset it again it works. Then a few minutes later it drops out. I re-installed mac os but no joy. This did however fix the issue of being booted without the usb. Any ideas? I...
