Clover Boot-loader change my old incompatible hackintosh to a (( real mac )) with Wonderful Install OSX experience

Clover Boot-loader change my old incompatible hackintosh to a (( real mac )) with Wonderful Install OSX experience …With the original install files (non-patched) that works in real mac..


I wanna share my Wonderful experience with Clover boot-Loader, so let's get start :


First : My old incompatible hackintosh specs :


Motherboard : Asus P5KR http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5KR/
CPU : Intel Core2quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz ..
RAM : 8 GB DDR2 800 MHz …
Graphics Card : MSI HD 6770 http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6770-MD1GD5.html
as you see it's an old hckintosh but works great for my work as Web Designer and programmer …


I created an original 8G 10.8.3 Mac USB stick with LionDiskMaker


http://liondiskmaker.com




I created my one DSDT.aml with DSDT Editor and Patches from Olarila.com

and have those kexts :

AppleHDA.kext for ALC883 ...
//==========================
AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext (original - just add my 6770 id)

ATI5000Controller.kext (original - just add my 6770 id)

edit @ 12 - 2013
With new clover fake id ... no more need to patch AMD kexts ... just added in config.plist
<key>FakeID</key> <dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<string>0x68b81002</string>
</dict>

//==========================
AtherosL1Ethernet.kext for network

FakeSMC.kext
JMicron36xATA.kext
JMicron36xSATA.kext


I install Clover on an 4GB (FAT32) USB Stick and make it first bootable device …
and edit Config.plist : and add those lines for GPU : (other is SMbios and some PCI & theme stuffs...)

<key>FBName</key>
<string>Baboon</string>
<key>LoadVBios</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>VideoPorts</key>
<string>3</string>
</dict>


and put My DSDT.aml on EFI/ACPI/patched…
and put FakeSMS.kext in EFI/Kexts/10.8 and repaire permission …

sudo chown -R root:wheel /[usb path]/EFI/kexts/10.8/FakeSMC.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /[usb path]/EFI/kexts/10.8/FakeSMC.kext

What's work :
- everything works fine from sleep/wake up to power management ..
- Graphics work great (DVI VGA HDMI)
- All USB work without any problem with sleep
- Firewire - ATA - SATA Work ...
- iCloud
- Bootcamp work
:O
- even (Find My Mac) work because (there is a recovery
partition) :thumbup:

I think that clover worth to try it specially people have compatible hardware ....

Finally : you can download Clover Boot theme here

Great work.
I just have two hints.
When u install clover to fat32 u dont need to install kext this way,its enough to copy paste them.
Second u can just restore original installesd.dmg to usb stick,there its no need for lion disk maker too.

Thx for your Hints .... :thumbup: You're right ...
 
I saw a video http://youtu.be/J2ZgC5w5kqM
Is this possible to do ?!
if you means "no bios post" in PC world it's impossible; but I read somethings in web about using old PCI video card (without connected to the screen) connect the screen to the PCIE G.Card .. (in bios you must make the PCI is the default ...) (I'm not test that ....)

if you mean fast OSX boot up ... I think it's (SSD Speed) ...
