1. Is WEG not needed or desirable for Installation or Updater? Or is the plan to try it without first, then add if needed?
@exquirentibus,
Like most things in the Hackintosh world it depends on the your systems hardware configuration, many systems will happy boot the Installer and Updater without WEG in /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other as they use the VESA driver baked into the VBIOS. Try without first .. then add if needed.
2. I've never tried VirtualSMC, is that now preferable to FakeSMC?
Whilst FakeSMC still works on just about every system, it's core code has not been updated in a very long time, VirualSMC uses a brand new SMC emulation engine that offers some advantages over FakeSMC however it currently lacks some of the PC monitoring sensors such as Fans and PSU voltages.
However with each new release VirtualSMC is being adopted by more and more users and will eventually become the standard for SMC emulation on a Hackintosh system.
Lilu and It's plug-in's have pretty much transformed how we go about running MacOS on a PC and VirtualSMC being a Lilu Plug-in is just another part of that toolbox.
Cheers
