Technically, it just executes all the terminal commands from the guide interactively.

Problem is people won't learn anything...
And one might assume that such a script does everything that needs to be done, which, of course, can't be further from the truth (Clover must be configured correctly... kexts, config.plist, ACPI/patched, drivers64UEFI, etc)

Totally agreed. It was written for my personal use though . Saves me a lot of time.

Used your guide this time but same problem.

Used your guide this time but same problem.

You did not follow the guide properly:
- EmuVariableUefi-64.efi is missing (or you could have used AptioMemoryFix.efi instead of OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi+EmuVariableUefi-64.efi). Please read the guide carefully regarding Aptio/NVRAM.
- you will likely need SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml (due to dual GPU). See link from guide.
- SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext is missing (as is an Ethernet kext)
- no 'install_osx' partition seen in your Clover bootlog

I have problems with this : SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml

Is this the right guide? : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-only-ran-for-0-seconds-with-dual-gpu.233092/


// save as SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "hack", "spoof", 0)
{
Method(_SB.PCI0.RP01.PEGP._DSM, 4)
{
If (!Arg2) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }
Return (Package()
{
"name", Buffer() { "#display" },
"IOName", "#display",
"class-code", Buffer() { 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF },
})
}
}

When I try to save it gives me an error
Line 6 Code 4096 Invalid character (0x21), expecting ASL keyword or name

Here you go!

Note: I have only compiled the above code for you. Are you sure of your DGPU ACPI path to be _SB.PCI0.RP01.PEGP?

You must be using the wrong tools.
