CPU should be here in a few days(Hopefully), also thanks to some information i found and managed to read on @j1m1l0k0h and @flashguitar Catalina posts & the link you provided, i am going to attempt to work with Open Core and see how i get on with it all :think:

Thanks again for the help and info, will post update soon?

(Update)

I have managed(Somehow) to muddle my way through open core in my spare time over the last week, managed to do Catalina, Big Sur & Monterey USB drives.

Catalina is stuck on the menu as seen in below photo with attatched EFI, have tried allsorts of fix's for the previous errors i had, but now stuck with this? Any advice appreciated.

set ScanPolicy to 0

and set both to -1:

Code: 
<key>MinDate</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>MinVersion</key>
            <integer>0</integer>

Thank you for the quick reply, i am just looking for this piece of code, which may take me a while.

Bizarrely at the moment it is installing Monterey?

Monterey will be fine if this is set as:

Code: 
<key>MinDate</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>MinVersion</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
for older OS, they need to be set to -1

actually there is a proper way but -1 is useful to remove limits

I managed to do that and still had the same error, Monterey seemed a bit laggy & the post install didnt go very well, just ended up with an apple logo and nothing after that, and catalina is what i prefer for the build i have, i decided to download 10.5.7 again incase the other version i had was corrupt?

Made the usb installer the same way(hopefully) and also checked for all the prevouis errors & put the ones right you helped me with the other day, but still getting below picture?

Have added EFI as well. any help appreciated, thanks :)

doubt you need:

you also have:

            </dict>
along with a SSDT-UIAC.aml which is incorrect

choose either USBPorts.kext and remove the rest (did you create this USBPorts.kext yourself? if not remove that)

did you create your own SSDT-UIAC.aml ?

XhciPortLimit needs to be disabled if your ports settings above is correct, if not, leave it enabled and remove:

USBPorts-All.kext
SSDT-UIAC.aml
USBPorts.kext
and you can create your own setup later after installation

ScanPolicy should be set to 0

doubt you need agdpmod=ignore boot argument

both of these 0's needs to be set as -1:

Code: 
<key>MinDate</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>MinVersion</key>
            <integer>0</integer>

My apologies, i realise now i must of used an older EFI made up of bits and pieces i had collected while trawling the internet trying to make sense of all this & opencore.

Since the stroke i get confused and have brain farts as we call them a lot, but i am stubborn and dont like to give up on anything. But i am thinking of changing the build name to 'post stroke' and not 'studio' anymore?

All the kexts i managed to get the new versions of from the main opencore guide links, the SSDT i tried to do and that caused me a lot of problems(could do it before though), i am using one that someone had made for my specific board(who will be mentioned when i get this done in a guide hopefully).

I have since changed my EFI partition to previous one i posted and made the changes you mentioned which i will attatch below.

My issue now is it starts loading then halts for a minute and i get a circle with a line through it

Sorry to have wasted your time on the last post, and thank you for your help.
