ALienware m15 compatibility

Thanks for the feedback - the oled panel is often difficult on hackintosh laptops as far as I remember from my old AW 13R3.

Would appreciate if you could upload your EFI Folder.

Cheers!

Hi,

my previous post was deleted because i linked to a german forum which is obviously not allowed and i didnt know that.

Therefore, find attached a working efi.

Its not the latest v ersion, i tweaked it in the meantime a little bit (voodooi2c and voodoops2 instead of applesmarttouchpad, no more cpufriend etc.) but i dont have that one handy right now. But this efi here should get you going perfectly. Remember to generate a new serial number and uuid if you want to use icloud and imessage.
and look for a freeware called karabiner elements - it lets you define the correct keys like brightness etc to the right ones on the keyboard.
cheers

Yeah, I have tried macOS 10.13, 10.14 and 10.15 with your efi folder but everytime I get some sort of error. Like: "In memory Panic Stackshot Succeeded ** Bytes Traced 193536" or it wont go past: "ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2SynapticsTouchpad". Maybe you know how to fix it? I don't have access to a mac atm

I just tried to install Catalina again and after the 3rd apple logo (where it says how many minutes left) the computer restarted 2 times and then I got this:

Okay, I got it to work when I did not check "plugins" before install. But I shut down and now I can't get it to start anymore. I keep getting:"ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2SynapticsTouchpad" Did I need to do something before I restarted?
