[Guide] HP 6300 Pro / HP 8300 Elite - A 100 percent Working and Easily Affordable CustoMac

[trs96]

I haven't tried it, but it seems to use "SMBIOS=MacMini6.1" for HD4000.

That will only work for an Apple 2012 Mac mini not a hackintosh.

It seems I was mistaken.

Nice ! It's stable as Montery ? i use it with dedicated graphic card Intle HD 4000, can you share your EFI folder please ?

I've done an installation test with "SMBIOS = iMac18.1" so he attaches the EFI.

1.
The contents of DeviceProperties->Add->PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) are the HD4000 settings published by @Sniki.
Remove this part if you use dGPU.

2.
Set NVRAM->Add->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82->prev-lang:kbd to your preferred language

3.
Write the following information using GenSMBIOS.

PlatformInfo->Generic->SystemProductName = Type: (iMac18,1)
PlatformInfo->Generic->MLB = Board Serial:
PlatformInfo->Generic->ROM = Apple ROM:
PlatformInfo->Generic->SystemSerialNumber = Serial:
PlatformInfo->Generic->SystemUUID = SmUUID:

4.
If the installation is successful, make the following corrections and store it in the HDD/SSD EFI.
NVRAM->Add->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82->boot-args = "amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1"
NVRAM->Add->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82->csr-active-config = <03080000>

5.
After restarting from the HDD/SSD, apply NVRAM RESET and apply OCLP after startup.

I have attached the missing HP8300ECHI.kext here.

Sam using iMacPro1,1 with latest macOS Montery and it works flawlessly. of course for my GPU I use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to get it works,

Big thanks Asural ! I will test it right now !

Thanks for EFI, edited the plist for PlatformInfo → I have checked serial / MLB etc are correct
This is the message just before Choose disc screen of opencore
Just noticed HP8300ECHI.kext is missing →wud that lead to an error?

It should start without problems even if you set Kernel->Add->Item9->Enable = NO, but I will attach HP8300ECHI.kext for iMac18.1 as pointed out.

1.For USDT, add PORT to DeviceProperties->Add->PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0).
2.May need to create his SSDT.aml for i7-3700s due to different CPU.

Both require work with SMBIOS=iMac13.2.

If DeviceProperties->Add->PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) settings are wrong, it can't be started.
Please change the setting of the attached file and try again.

It was my mistake, I have corrected this post.
Until now, the reason why USDT did not work was unknown, but I am glad that I was able to solve it.
