How to enable HD4600 in Ventura for the Dell Optiplex 7020/9020

I managed to update the 9020 USFF to Ventura, by changing the system definition to iMac18,3.

I do seem to have difficulties to get the Intel HD working properly as it now only provides 18 MB instead of the 1536 MB I had with Monterey. Any idea how to fix this?

Some are using the OCLP 0.5.1 app's root volume patching to get HD4600 working. I've not attempted that yet. Let us know how it goes if you try the HD4600 patch. BTW what feature of Ventura is the reason for your upgrade ? If this is a media center hackintosh Monterey should do all that you need it to.

Not really a reason. I'm not using it as my main thing, just for playing around.

Can you help with OCLP? Im getting this:

FileVault is now disabled.
AMFI disabled with a boot argument: amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1
The other ones I don't really know.

The other ones I don't really know.

You could change the SIP setting in your config.plist. Under NVRAM 7C436.... and csr-active-config.

If that doesn't work boot into recovery and then disable it via terminal.

csrutil disable

do you have any luck yet
or it's still no acceleration for HD 4600 ?

 

[joostiphone]

Still no acceleration unfortunately. I will try a full restore to get rid of some issues such as FileVault which seems to take forever to decrypt. So that I can apply OCLP.

time is not on my side at the moment

Any news to report yet ?

I think I got it working...

We need to Disable SIP to get OCLP to work:
1. Edit entry in OpenCore config:

NVRAM,
Add > 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 > csr-active-config > FF0F0000 > Type: Data

2. Reboot. Go to Recory instead of booting into MacOS. Open Terminal. Enter (without the '): 'csrutil disable'
Then check status with 'csrutil status' to make sure it's disable.

Reboot and Clear NVRAM.

Open OCLP to patch HD4600:
Reboot and boot into MacOS, then open OpenCore Legacy Patcher (0.5.1 currently). Choose 'Post Install Root Patch'. Then 'Start Root Patching'.

After this, profit with 1536MB on the HD4600, and the transparent Dock is back.

I think Ventura on this machine is less snappier then Monterey, but hey, it works so far...

I haven't done it myself, but I think you can enable SIP again if you want to.

EFI with the changes. Don't forget to disable SIP in Recovery mode by doing 'csrutil disable' in terminal (in recovery mode).

I haven't done it myself, but I think you can enable SIP again if you want to.

On Apple built Macs OCLP will disable SIP temporarily for the root patching stage. Obviously this doesn't work on a hackintosh. You had to boot into recovery and fully disable SIP. You can see exactly what it does for "real" Macs in the OCLP guide. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore...HOOTING.html#cannot-disable-sip-in-recoveryos

 

[joostiphone]

Yep. But in order to be able to start patching, you need to disable SIP in the EFI and before booting in recovery mode. Without one or the other, it didn't work.
