Hi everyone,

I've been searching all throughout this forum and others, and have found other people with similar issues to mine. However, I have not been able to resolve my own. Most issues seem to be resolved with DSDT or SSDT updates that don't apply to my machine. All the guides for my machine seem to be limited to Snow Leopard except for one German dude who got High Sierra working... but only said that he 'Had to make an adjustment so that USBInject also works'. I'm stuck being too much of a n00blet and now I have a headache.

Machine: Asus G51J-A1

CPU: Core i7 820QM
Motherboard: Pegatron Corporation G60J
Chipset: PM55
RAM: 8GB DDR3
GPU: 1GB Nvidia GTX 260M

I have made a Mac OS Sierra USB using Unibeast 7.1.1 on a late 2006 Mac Mini running 10.7.5. I used the instructions here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564/

I selected Legacy and I have selected Inject NVIDIA when creating the drive.

There are no USB 3 ports on the target machine and the BIOS settings that were recommended cannot be changed as in the guide. The settings don't exist there.

I have tried all the USB ports that work. One has caved in, so I hope it wasn't that one that worked. I have also checked that USBInjectAll.kext is in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other

I get the attached message when I attempt to load the installer in Verbose Mode. This happens even if I select USB Ownership and USB Injection in the clover boot menu. I have also attached the CLOVER folder, in case that also helps.

I'm not sure where to go from here, as I'm far too over my head for DSDT, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be able to do?

Thanks for your time,
Paolo
