Hey, I've been trying to install Catalina on my Asus TUF dash f15. I've been trying all day and tried what I believe most of the methods. I keep on getting this error which I'm fed up with. If someone knows how to help I'd be more than grateful.

BaseBoard Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. (Basically ASUS TUF DASH F15 laptop motherboard)
Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12450H, 2000 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

I've been following 2 guides. One regarding my CPU and what it recommends and the default opencore guide.

https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/prerequisites.html - Official Opencore guide

https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/BASE-EFI-INTEL-DESKTOP-12THGEN-ALDER-LAKE - Another guide regarding my CPU that I have been following.

I keep on getting this error

It's not an error, it's the point where the boot loader hands over to the OS.

No support in any Apple OS.

That’s why I disabled it using an ssdt.

Do you have any idea on how to fix it. Or to make it run on the CPU’s graphics

Which one of your four SSDT files do you imagine does that for you ?

I forgot to add it to efi that works. I’m so sorry. I made two edits after getting annoyed at this message I kept on getting with this one. So I tried a different one and the one I’m currently having a issue is the one I’m asking help with. I’m using “SSDT-dGPU-Off.dsl”

 

[macxasus86]

I’m going to add it right now I will tell you if this solves it.

 

[P1LGRIM]

I’m using “SSDT-dGPU-Off.dsl”

.dsl files must be compiled and saved as .aml before use.

Nope. I must have done something wrong to the SSDT I get an error (I assume) and then I'm back to

[EB|#LOG:EXITBS: START] when I try to go into the installer.​

(I've left the SSDT and the config.plist just In case one of them is the culprit)

 

[P1LGRIM]

just In case one of them is the culprit

I think that the culprit is much more likely to be incompatible hardware.
I have doubts that your integrated graphics are supported too - You should check.
