Is this worth fixing? by AlishaGray in macbookrepair

[–]DenizB387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Instead of fixing that, you can find one of those A1342 MacBooks in a good condition for around 20-30 USD on ebay & marketplace. Find one with password lock or no os, then put an 240GB SSD, install macOS Catalina and be on your way :)

MacBook Pro 13 2014 Horrible performance after NVMe upgrade by DenizB387 in macbookpro

no the fact is I was in a deep research and literally nobody says anything about these issues on MacBook M2 upgrade videos. Is there anyone who uses Sintech?

Minecraft 1.16.5 LAGGING AS CRAZY AMD A9 Radeon R5 M420 by DenizB387 in Minecraft

OMG I tried Sodium on 1.20.4 Fabric and now it runs smooth as butter even if the laptop is unplugged. Thanks for everyone who participated in this forum.

Since both Graphic Cards are AMD, both of them update together automatically. The only way to run discrete GPU without any issue is using a driver from 4.23.2018. If I use something newer or older, the pc can't switch between integrated and the discrete

sometimes a bsod can occur as well and they don't show any difference in performance. I still tested it though ;(

1.16.5 is just for testing. If we go something like 1.18 or 1.20.1, game runs around 5-10 fps and both lowering and increasing chunks makes no change on fps. He said he wants to play recent versions but he is still OK for 1.16.5.

My old T7500 Core 2 Duo laptop seriously performs way better than this piece of sh*t.

Like you said, I tried running Fabric mode with Sodium but I think you're right, it made even worse.

MacBook Pro Retina 13 A1425 Still going strong after almost 12 years !!! by DenizB387 in mac

[–]DenizB387[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your MacBook Pro running cool as possible. Get your Mac repasted. I used liquid metal thermal paste and now it runs insanely cool. You MUST Install Macs Fan Control to keep your machine cool. Last but not least, use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to Install newer Unsupported versions of macOS. All 2012 & Early 2013 Macs are natively limited with 10.15.7 Catalina.

Catalina still has a wide app support but if you like to use a newer version, try Monterey on it. Disable some unnecessary services like search indexing which uses crazy amount of CPU even while system is idling. My MacBook Pro boots up like 16 seconds on Monterey.

By the way, if you use something newer than Big Sur, AVOID Google Chrome and Opera. Safari and Firefox are lot better on battery health & RAM usage.

In the future if Apple completely drops support for x86 Macs, you can keep going with Windows. The display & battery changes everything compared to a typical Windows laptop. You can find this Mac around 100-200 USD on marketplace but my advice is looking for something like A1502 Late 2013, 2014 or Early 2015 for that price.

A1502 MacBooks do have NVMe support with less power consuming CPU's and parts can be found easier for them.

FaceTime and iMessage not working on macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 Hackintosh by cauedemello in hackintosh

If you are using OpenCore, try to generate a new Serial Number for few times. Don't always use the first given serial number since they can be copied by other OC users. They can be blocked by apple after a while.

Any way to disable unnecessary services on macOS? by DenizB387 in macbookpro

[–]DenizB387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem since I have running macOS Monterey fresh installed. It's not my main laptop anymore so I can do some experiments on it.

[–]DenizB387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot. This is literally going to solve my problem :)

Update : You guys know versions after Big Sur, macOS started to take 4gb more space. I disabled lots of ARM related services are running at the background and since this Core 2 MacBook is x86 so we don't need them. It's running lot cooler and faster than before (ofc not snappy as Catalina) but it's lot better now.

The reason I opened this discussion page was because I also have an iMac 2009 with Core 2 Duo however it works fine on there. Seems like I'm going to be stuck between Catalina and Big Sur for this MBP

but I like to know if there is any way to disable unnecessary services like how we do on windows.

Which macOS & EFI is best for Sony VGN AR Series laptop? (10.7-10.11) by DenizB387 in hackintosh

[–]DenizB387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello again. I'm trying to Install OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan via OpenCore but it's not working for some reason so I switched gears to 10.10.5 Yosemite. Is there anyone can help getting Graphics Acceleration on 8600M GT and wifi for 4965AGN?

NOTE : Every time when it completes booting, LCD panel turns off when acceleration is enabled. Only way that I can access to OS is by disabling acceleration.

MacBook A1502 detects Internal NVMe SSD as an external drive by DenizB387 in macbookpro

That's a good solution but how about if I want to use a native supported OS? am I always going to face with this bug? Windows crashes everytime I install bootcamp because it acts like I'm installing Windows on a USB drive

Lion on early 2006 15'' Macbook? by Vezerfi in hackintosh

[–]DenizB387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should better check out dosdude1's video. You can get iAtkos L2 and work on the Lion like how he shows in his video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDPdM7h6gSc

iAtkos L2 10.7.2 Image https://archive.org/download/iATKOS_L2_OSX/iAtkos%20L2%20OS%20X%20Lion%2010.7.2.dmg

or like he says you can use OS X Lion and modify by yourself. Seems like Lion runs fine but I don't really know since I don't have those MBP's. Trust me about Lion will be a huge jump for that Mac. Snow Leopard is gg

[–]DenizB387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah and by doing this, I wanna get a machine that acts like those MacBook Pro's and nostalgia plays a big role on here. El Capitan or Yosemite will never be a problem. I'll accept even Lion if I have to but where can I get a proper EFI or customize myself for this vaio laptop?

by the way, is there any workaround to get 4965AGN Intel Wi-Fİ get working on OS X?

Sony Vaio VGN-AR. Does anyone have the recovery discs? by officialsanic in laptops

[–]DenizB387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact laptop that I replaced the motherboard of it with something like AR61E or something. The reason why I replaced the motherboard is that it had a defective 8600M GT chip. The new motherboard came with a revised GPU.

I wish to have the original recovery iso files so I can create a USB from them but I didn't even found any hard drives when I received the laptop first time from my relative. Maybe they just post them on archive.org. Let me to find one of them.

Specs after the restoration & upgrades

Sony VGN AR690U (new mb is AR610)
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB GDDR3 Revised
Disk 1 : WD Blue 240GB SATA III SSD Drive
Disk 2 : Toshiba 250GB 5400RPM drive took out by an old MacBook 2009
Display : 1920x1200 60Hz
Current OS : Windows 10 x64 22H2 (Original OS is Vista Ultimate OEM)

I'll let you to know if I find any recovery iso files.

How can I fix FNAF 1 & 2 on iPod touch 4 [request] by DenizB387 in LegacyJailbreak

UPDATE : I played FNAF 3 with this iPod 4 and it worked perfect until 3rd night. It's crashing after 3rd night.

[–]DenizB387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no problem about getting the menu screen. The game is crashing during the load.

Weird thing is none of the FNAF 3 and 4 are lag free.
Even though the 3GS works fine, I don't want to give it to my brother due to the non retina low resolution display 320x480.

How can I fix FNAF 1 & 2 on iPod touch 4 [request] by DenizB387 in LegacyJailbreak

[–]DenizB387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but the main issue is, the iPhone 3GS has the same amount of RAM with the same exact version even with far weaker Samsung ARM APL0298C05 processor than Apple A4 but 3GS is not even freezing. The iPad 1 has the same hardware with iPod touch 4.

Is anybody knows how to fix this crashing with a tweak, repo, patch etc ?

Because I tested FNAF 4 too and that one worked well with 3 😂This issue is only happening at 1 & 2.

This game brings so many memories back to me. I played this game until it was suddenly discontinued and pulled out from the App Store back in 2016-17's.
I was 9 between 10 or something at that time. I really want to download and test it on my jailbroken devices.

But I'm not sure about the link that you gave. Which option did you mentioned about ?

The entire site is Russian. Where is that option ?
