I cloned my working Catalina drive to an APFS formatted SSD using a SATA to USB adapter in a 2.0 USB port on mobo. Then made the clone bootable by copying my working EFI to it's EFI partition. The first thing I noticed is when I go to eject the drive, it tells me there are two volumes and gives...

Building a new rig and stealing my RX 580 for it and putting back my HD 6870 card in my current profile hack. Using Clover pkg 5102 2 - Apple 20" Cinema Displays (only using one for now) Downgrading OS to High Sierra from Mojave since old GFX card is not Metal capable. High Sierra install...

Hey all... I'm going to dive into my second Hack build and would appreciate some input on the components I've selected for the build before I pull the trigger. I'm also going to be modding a G5 case for this build. My current build has served me well for almost 10 years, so it's time. Here...

My hardware profile is correct. Now successfully running Mojave Legacy boot with f10 BIOS with Sapphire RX 580 dual monitor off DP ports, System Def 14,2. I know HD3000 is not metal capable or supported with Mojave. However, my understanding is that the 14,2 sys def on a real Mac has an iGPU...

Hardware profile is correct, however, only using IGPU (HD3000 - Sandy Bridge) for now since I could only boot with -x with RX580 installed. I have another thread for that issue. :banghead: I installed a vanilla Mojave on a new SSD using UniBeast. I can boot to desktop using USB, no issue...

[UPDATE] Got the entire system working with RX 580, dual monitor with lilu/Whatevergreen. Using DP ports. BUT my HD3000 iGPU is not supported in Mojave, and my System Def 14,2 leverages the iGPU in a real iMac for some things like HD streaming in iTunes and quick preview for jogs. I fixed the...

I built this hack years ago now. Started with Lion, now on El Cap. I want to update now to High Sierra. I think I messed up my Clover when I downloaded the update .pkg and just installed it without taking my time or customizing the install. I've been searching and reading this site and others...

Finally got El Capitan working... no sleep wake, but I just keep my comp running, so I live with that. I have one issue with graphics card however that is strange. When I turn on my computer or restart, I have to unplug my monitor(s) until the boot reaches the clover screen or the sign in...

Hello... My current hack has been running flawlessly for almost 2 years now. My current OS is Lion 10.7.2 I want to update to Mavericks... but I'm afraid. I don't want to break my hack and not know how to fix it. Can someone please let me know if you have updated from Lion to...

Been running my hack now for a couple months without a SINGLE issue! AWESOME! I love this machine. Couple things that are quirky: 1. Sometimes my mouse pointer simply disappears. It lasts a few seconds and then comes back. Doesn't happen often... seems like in certain apps or websites. I'm...

I'm not thinking I'm going to try and get sleep working for a bit. I haven't even tried it to be honest. So I've been opting to shut down my computer at night and then turn it on in the morning. Today when I started up, I got to the log in screen and the screen was "jittery." Seemed like some...

Hello... My mobo is: Z68X-UD3H-B3 My bios version is: F10 The DSDT Database only has up to F9. What should I do? Thank you!

Hello... I've got my build running, but the post screen is so fast I can't see my BIOS version. Is there another place to check? I didn't see the version displaying in the BIOS itself either. I don't have a Pause/Break key on my keyboard. Is there a mac keyboard equivalent? My mobo is a...

Hello Everyone..... I'm new to the forum and to the Hack community. I'm currently running with a Mac Tower with PPC processors and I'm in need of a new machine. This one runs outstanding but I need to keep up with current tech as a freelance Art Director. So I use a LOT of Adobe products and...
