What does the PCI Devices do under the Patch tab? Is this use to populate the PCI section of System Report? And is it necessary to have this patch?
Thanks.View attachment 401898View attachment 401899

Yes, you can use that to populate System Information > PCI. I've tried it and it works. I posted my progress here.

No, it's not necessary at all to populate System Information > PCI.

I'm at a loss really. If you visit https://comsysto.github.io/Display-...or-with-HiDPI-Support-For-Scaled-Resolutions/ and enter 2560 x 1440 with hidpi unchecked it generates "<data>AAAKAAAABaA=</data>" which you have in the file you attached.

I think that DisplayProductID file is having *some* effect, because before I installed it, SwitchResX was only showing NTSC options in its menu popdown, and now it's showing HiDPI. The 2560x1440 I'm using with SwitchResX does cause slightly blurry/fuzzy type in menus and fonts, though. Strangely, the fuzziness isn't noticeable when I login over Apple Remote Desktop from my workplace iMac Pro and view my home desktop remotely... the blurriness is only noticeable on my screen when I'm sitting in front of it at home. BTW, I'm now using Hackintool 2.3.8 but the Generate Patch button is producing odd results (see attached screenshot), even when I'm deliberately making changes in Connector settings as a test. Also, it produces nothing at all if anything is checked in the far-right column of the General tab (Graphic Device, Audio Device, PCI Devices), again, even if I've deliberately made changes in the Connector settings as a test. And, finally.. in my case, should I check the new "Use Intel HDMI" item under Advanced tab?

That is odd. I can't seem to replicate this issue at all. Can you run Hackintool.app/Contents/MacOS/Hackintool from Terminal and see if it spits out an error when you do the above?

As for "Use Intel HDMI" it really only applies to users with an dGPU. It works like this:

If TRUE, hda-gfx=onboard-1 will be injected into the GFX0 and HDEF devices. Also, if an ATI or Nvidia HDMI device is present, they'll be assigned to onboard-2. If FALSE, then ATI or Nvidia devices will get onboard-1 as well as the HDAU device if present.

Yep.. exactly the same result. FWIW I found and restored v.2.2.5 from Time Machine; that version still generates a normal Patch, see attached screenshot.

I'm looking for an error when you run it from Terminal. Also try downloading the latest version again.

Nothing I can see.. here's a screenshot of the Terminal window

Actually those "unrecognized selector" are errors. I've uploaded what I think is a fix please download and try again. Thanks

The Terminal log looks good now, but unfortunately the Patch is still problematic, see attached.

You have to check Graphic Device, Audio Device or PCI Devices.

If you have see if any error shows in the Terminal log after clicking "Generate Patch"

Ah ok, that was it. Once I checked Graphic Device, generated Patch looks good. Thanks!
