Special Config:

⚠️ Usb port mapping performed 👉 guide

⚠️ SSDT-Hack Essential patc 👉 guide

🔐 You will need to generate your own SMBIOS and configure, since is required to fully work with macOS. As per you can use the following SMBIOS:

SMBIOS	Hardware	macOS Big Sur	macOS Monterey	macOS Ventura	macOS Sonoma
Macmini8,1	Comet Lake with only iGPU (Enabled Acceleration)	full supported	full supported	full supported	full supported
iMac20,1	Comet Lake with dGPU (Enabled iGPU Acceleration)	full supported	full supported	full supported	full supported
iMacPro1,1	Comet Lake only dGPU (Disabled iGPU Acceleration)	full supported	full supported	full supported	full supported
MacPro7,1	Comet Lake only dGPU (Disabled iGPU Acceleration)	full supported	full supported	full supported	full supported

⚠️ It's fully required to generate your own serials with GenSMBIOS and put it in your config.plist.

• Config.plist -> PlatformInfo -> Generic

⚠️ Setting a NVRAM variable

Boot Arguments	Сomments
-v	This enables verbose mode, which shows all the behind-the-scenes text that scrolls by as you're booting instead of the Apple logo and progress bar.
revpatch=sbvmm	Enable macOS Ventura and macOS Sonoma system updates
-no_compat_check	Сancel scan system board id
-wegnoegpu	Disable all external GPUs
-wegnoigpu	Disable internal GPU
nv_disable=1	Forces GPU into VESA mode(no GPU acceleration), useful for troubleshooting and when having issues installing Nvidia's WebDrivers.
-igfxvesa	Forces GPU into VESA mode(no GPU acceleration), useful for troubleshooting
igfxonln=1	Forces all displays online, useful for resolving screen wake issues in 10.15.4+ on Coffee and Comet Lake
igfxfw=2	Enables loading Apple's GUC firmware for iGPUs, requires a 9th Gen chipset or newer(ie Z390)
-igfxdvmt	Fix the kernel panic caused by an incorrectly calculated amount of DVMT pre-allocated memory on Intel ICL platforms
enable-dvmt-calc-fix	Property on IGPU
-igfxblt	An alternative to the Backlight Registers Fix and make Backlight Smoother work on KBL/CFL platforms running macOS 13.4 or later.
enable-backlight-registers-alternative-fix	Property on IGPU

Drivers:

Driver	Status	Description
OpenRuntime.efi	Required	Required for proper operation
HfsPlus.efi	Required	Needed for seeing HFS volumes
OpenCanopy.efi	Optional	This is an optional OpenCore GUI
ResetNvramEntry.efi	Optional	Required to reset the system's NVRAM
OpenPartitionDxe.efi	Optional	Required to boot macOS 10.7-10.9 recovery
ToggleSipEntry.efi	Optional	Enabling and Disabling System Integrity Protection
AudioDxe.efi	Optional	Unrelated to Audio support in macOS

What work:

✅ AMD Radeon RX 580 Graphics acceleration.

✅ Intel UHD 630 Graphics acceleration.

✅ dGPU & CPU Power Management.

✅ HDMIvideo & audio output.

✅ Ethernet.

✅ Audio Output from 3.5mm Front and Rear headphone Jack.

✅ PS2 Keyboard & Mouse.

✅ USB 2.0/3.0 All Ports.

✅ USB Wi-Fi, WebCam, Keyboard and Mouse.

✅ Restart, Sleep and Shutdown.

✅ Bootcamp.

✅ Apple Services iCloud, App Store, iMessage, FaceTime.

❌ VGA port output. ⚠️ Not supported for macOS.

❌ AirDrop & Handoff ⚠️ Only AirDrop and Handoff are not working since the USB Wi-Fi are not fully compatible with macOS. For all this to work, you need to replace the card with a native one, such as PCI Fenvi cards before macOS Sonoma.

Tips:

⚠️ Help Fix Screen Sleep:

sudo pmset autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset powernap 0
sudo pmset standby 0
sudo pmset proximitywake 0
sudo pmset tcpkeepalive 0

⚠️ This will do 5 things for us:

• Disables autopoweroff: This is a form of hibernation
• Disables powernap: Used to periodically wake the machine for network, and updates(but not the display)
• Disables standby: Used as a time period between sleep and going into hibernation
• Disables wake from iPhone/Watch: Specifically when your iPhone or Apple Watch come near, the machine will wake
• Disables TCP Keep Alive mechanism to prevent wake ups every 2 hours

⚠️ Отключение функции Gatekeeper

Запуск повреждённого приложения невозможен без обхода функции Карантин, или отключения Gatekeeper - технологии, которая обеспечивает запуск только доверенного программного обеспечения на компьютере Mac.

⚠️ Решение (вариант 1).

Данный вариант позволит обойти Карантин для конкретного приложения. Обратите внимание, что команда включает путь к приложению, или образу (.dmg). Эту процедуру часто называют "декарантин" или "de-quarantine".

1. Запустите утилиту "Терминал". Это стандартная утилита, которую не нужно устанавливать дополнительно. Терминал можно найти через Spotlight.

2. Используйте команду: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine поставьте пробел и перетащите повреждённую программу или образ (.dmg) в окно Терминал. Команда допишется.

2.1 Или используйте команду: sudo xattr -r -c поставьте пробел и перетащите повреждённую программу или образ (.dmg) в окно Терминал. Команда допишется. Обычно достаточно использовать только первую команду, но бывают ситуации, когда ее выполнение не помогает, в отличие от выполнения второй.

3. Нажмите Enter и введите пароль Администратора. Пароль при вводе в Терминал не отображается, но вводится. Если пароль не задан - создайте его.

4. Приступайте к запуску повреждённой программы. Дождитесь завершения проверки и вы сможете её Открыть. Время проверки может занимать до 30 минут.

⚠️ Решение (вариант 2).

Данная команда позволит отключить Gatekeeper, т.е. восстановить настройки, разрешающие использование программ, загруженных из Любого источника в Системных настройках / Защита и безопасность.

1. Запустите утилиту "Терминал".

2. Используйте команду: sudo spctl --master-disable Перетаскивать в Терминал ничего не нужно. Для включения Gatekeeper, замените "disable" на "enable".

3. Нажмите Enter и введите пароль Администратора.

4. Приступайте к запуску повреждённой программы.

⚠️ Итак, как скрыть папку или файл в macOS?

В окне командной строки нужно ввести следующую команду: chflags hidden и не нажимая Enter, добавить пробел. Теперь необходимо выбрать папку или файл, которую следует скрыть от других. Выделяем и переносим в окно командной строки. Подтверждаем наши намерения кнопкой Enter. Всё готово. Требуемый файл или папка больше не будут отображаться в Finder.

⚠️ Highly Recommend you to build the EFI for your device on your own and only use this for reference even though you have the same device as mine since, when something fails you will be on your own.

⚠️ If you want to report or rasie an issue, you must mention your device details in it. And give a detailed information about your issue(images or videos are encouraged)
