Pentium Gold G456 and Intel HD610 without any dgpu

[Lims]

Has anyone had any success with installing on the above specs without using a dgpu ?

I have been trying to install Sierra on this with OpenCore but have not had much success yet. There are no errors but it just gets stuck and never displays a gui.

I have attached my EFI folder.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

There is no support for Pentium graphics

If the Intel HD610 works with other processors, why does it not work with the Pentium ?

Sierra came out before your CPU did. The CPU is Kaby Lake based, therefore there is no support at all for it in that OS. Apple has avoided using all Pentiums as well.

I don't think spoofing the CPU would work either. It might possibly with High Sierra. Not something I've ever tried.

You will also need an Apple compatible dedicated graphics card. These processors do not have Apple supported Internal Graphics

Only i3, i5 and i7 CPUs. Apple never built a Mac with Pentiums.

Can it not be spoofed ?

Can it not be spoofed ?

Follow the Gigamaxx guide and give it a try. Only if it's a desktop though. Do you have a laptop ?
