Power Mac G5 Intel Reloaded Edition (New Pics)

Do you have the same CPU as me? If not, just generate your own SSDT and replace mine: https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh. Afterwards my EFI directory should work on your system. Remember, that you need your own serial number in the SMBIOS section.

Good luck

In accordance with tony's guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/1...apple-mini-cards-pcie-mini-pcie-adapters.html I've added a new Continuity and Handoff capable Wifi / Bluetooth card.

PCI-E Adapter: http://www.ebay.ch/itm/BCM94360CD-B...er-/271642347250?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:3160

Broadcom BCM94360CD card: http://www.ebay.ch/itm/Apple-Broadc...rd-/191029765954?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:3160

Front side:

back side:

Installed in a x16 slot (does not work in a x1 slot with this board):

And the required Clover patch:

<dict>
    <key>Comment</key>
    <string>IOBluetoothFamily - Continuity &amp; Hand-off</string>
    <key>Find</key>
    <data>
    i4eMAQAA
    </data>
    <key>Name</key>
    <string>IOBluetoothFamily</string>
    <key>Replace</key>
    <data>
    uA8AAACQ
    </data>
</dict>

Works!

After adding this Wifi / BT card, the G5 is even more perfect! No glitches, no hangs, no crashes, perfectly working sleep - fingers crossed!

hey mactester just wondering how the bluetooth is working for you. I have tried using bluetooth modules from macbooks via usb but got crappy reception. Sooo how is the reception with the antennas being in the back of the G5. Are you experiencing any interference or dropped devices? I ordered my parts as well and have already received the card just waiting for the adapter...annoying especially that its been three weeks already. Im really looking forward to see my hack working with 802.11ac connection from my apple extreme.

I don't really use bluetooth in this build. I've only done a short test with an iPhone 5 to check if handoff works. Wifi works fine too.

Hope your adapter will arrive soon.

good luck
