CaseySJ - you are a very patient man! I'm experiencing lack of oxygen recently in this forum!

There are several ways to interpret lack of oxygen. One of them might be that the flurry of activity has subsided, which would not be incorrect. Sometimes we have to take a breather, which by definition consumes oxygen, making less of it available here.

After developing the HackinDROM App (@Inqnuam), solving the long-standing Antelope Audio problem (@Elias64Fr), fixing Ethernet and WiFi issues with AppleVTD (@yosoyoco), and installing Monterey Public Beta, one can conclude that there are now that many fewer topics to discuss and resolve!

Activity does pick up at the beginning of every month when new versions of OpenCore and other Acidanthera kexts are released.

Are you able to log into the Mac App Store on the Hackintosh (yes, the App Store)? If so, are you able to download and install any software updates or 'purchase' a free app?

Yes, I can use the App Store for updates or purchases.

@ CaseySJ - I've enjoyed all 695 pages of this forum plus the over 3200 pages of your Z390 thread. Others could answer most of their questions if they would just take some time and learn. Your awesome. Thanks!

You remember RehabMan correct ? Here's a sample of five of his posts from March 10, 2019.
Looks like he came to the same conclusion.

Wow, that is quite a feat! If I get impatient from time to time I think you are in the best position to see why. After repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, it becomes impossible to remain patient.

We have guides for this very reason. In other words imagine an airport without signs or even gate numbers. Everyone would therefore need to ask for directions all the time. By putting up the signs, everyone helps themselves instead. But if some people choose not to read the signs, then what can we do??

Thanks again !
Were you aware that Windows, although on a separate disk, can interfere with working BT, needing a cold start and NVRAM reset?

@CaseySJ
I have congratulated you so many times for your patience and outstanding follow up for the benefit of the community, always repeating for the 20th time advice with the same calm and/or sense of humor .
The past few days have been rush with some requests requiring many answers...
I solved out my BT issue in BS and Monterey with a cold restart and clear NVRAM (as suggested by another user), because of my separate Windows installation.
Were you aware of the issue?
I honestly did not see anywhere in the topic, although trying to follow up on a daily basis !
Thanks again...

Hello @MacArthur,

Although I haven’t mentioned this in the guide itself, I don’t recommend installing Broadcom drivers in Windows. Windows will therefore use the Intel WiFi/BT module exclusively. And Windows will not interfere with the Broadcom WiFi/BT module, which means macOS will not suffer.

I am using your OC 0.71 AMD IntelWIFI EFI, but I have a Windows installed on a separate disk.
I guess that one day, (maybe after working on Windows) when I rebooted I discovered a few days later (I don't use BT very often) by chance that my BT has gone on BS and Monterey.
To get it activated, you need a cold boot and reset NVRAM, otherwise it won't show up.

@iWire @CaseySJ @trs96

Like iWire, I follow all three of CaseySJ's "golden builds" almost daily. I have built two of these hacks. I might never have been successful without the detailed instructions he provided, and the solutions for the various issues he and others developed. I easily found answers to my questions in these threads without posting questions.

If "newbies" like me can carefully follow the guides and mini-guides and successfully do things like flashing TB chips, I would assume that 90%+ of others could do the same with a little effort on their part. They should spend some time reading the detailed information in Post 1 and use the SEARCH FUNCTION!

I have always wondered how CaseySJ can be so patient when the "signs" are right in front of most posters. How many of those 15,349+ messages could have been eliminated?

I hope everyone who has benefited from CaseySJ's unbelievable knowledge and PATIENCE will make a donation to tonymacx86. Where else can you get support like this?

THANK YOU CASEYSJ FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!!
