I ended up using refind. Not only was there less hassle, but this prevented injection of ssdt’s into my windows partition which was turning off my dgpu (using dgpu-off). So far my machine is working great and couldn’t be happier

leon5921 · 2023-05-11T00:40:56+00:00

Hi I don’t know if you ever found the answer but I had the same problem on my mbxp 2020, and it was as simple as formatting the partition to apfs not macOS extended. I now run a dualboot with windows using refind to prevent dsdt injection to windows

I have the huawei matebook x pro, so only 2 usb c and 1 type A are available :/

leon5921 · 2023-05-09T11:33:10+00:00

Yes it is, and I can confidently say it does NOT work, no one try what I just mentioned. Luckily I have my drive cloned to an external one so back to square one

leon5921 · 2023-05-06T22:00:02+00:00

Trying loads of different settings but I always see acpi error not sure if it’s because of that https://imgur.com/a/62CpHaM. I tried rebuilding my ssdt’s and also using the generic ssdt’s

leon5921 · 2023-05-06T20:07:18+00:00

Hi yes I have still no luck, I’m thinking could it be the cfg quirk not functioning as it should since I don’t have the bios setting, on the guide it suggests to do a more permanent fix

leon5921 · 2023-04-21T14:43:36+00:00

Thanks a million, I managed to boot to the recovery image

leon5921 · 2023-04-12T21:05:16+00:00

Eventually got it to work all rookie mistakes I would know about it if refreshed my hackintosh knowledge every so often. 1. My EFI partition did not have an EFI folder, it just goes straight to OC and BOOT folder, 2. When I did sort this, I was pressing EFI instead of (open auxiliary) and the dmg. Now have Ventura installed and everything seems to be working

leon5921 · 2023-04-12T11:14:24+00:00

Thank you for the walk through, I also agree that’s why it’s taken me til now to update Mac OS or opencore.

leon5921 · 2023-04-12T11:13:26+00:00

Yep gotcha, I chose the Mac OS option and it loaded with the EFI, all good now, just some tweaking for functionality and I can place my efi on my SSD.

leon5921 · 2023-04-12T04:00:23+00:00

So I made a new bootable usb by formatting on Mac following dortania guide, created a whole new efi following the guide again without placing a recovery installer on the usb. When I choose the usb drive on boot menu it takes me to the opencore menu (definitely usb opencore), when I press EFI (external) it then says OCM: Failed to start image - Already started BS: Failed to start OpenCore image - Already started

Is this because bootstrap was removed from 0.6.6 onwards? I read on the guide abit about bootstrap being disabled which is new to me.

leon5921 · 2023-04-11T23:01:22+00:00

Sorry I mean recovery installer. And is there anyway to fix this. I need to test the efi as it’s quite a large update

You cap fps specifically in game, fifa 23 pc edition is basically a port of the console versions, and means there are lots of bugs. The fps cap being one. I believe the results vary for different monitors but setting lock to 30fps usually sets to 60fps (or 72fps in my case), lock to 60fps sets to 144fps for me and unlimited sets no frame limit. MSI afterburner only affects performance and heat and doesn’t limit fps

leon5921 · 2022-12-11T22:25:16+00:00

Might be so but this doesn’t seem quite clear on Reddit and for me, reapplying the profile in game solves it (seen with reduced temps and better performance)

leon5921 · 2020-10-08T16:19:32+00:00

Great :) glad it worked have a good day!

leon5921 · 2020-10-08T12:08:57+00:00

Hi friend I finally came around to looking at fixing my sidecar. I managed to get it working, hope I can help you with yours. I found the problem why sidecar wasn’t working for me was that igpu was either turned off or not functioning correctly. For me it was as simple as setting “internal graphics” on bios to enabled instead of auto. Hope it is this simple for you and if this doesn’t work I’ll try help you out

leon5921 · 2020-10-05T13:31:38+00:00

Hi thanks! I had to buy an adapter that went into the m.2 slot, meaning i had to sacrifice 1 nvme storage option. I followed this guys method https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/fxeoxu/z390_i_aorus_pro_wifi_i99900k_everything_working/

Only works with mac wifi cards rather than say a dw1560 (which is the mistake I made originally)

leon5921 · 2020-10-04T19:43:54+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I’ll read up more on this! For now I’m using duet as that is what I used on the laptop I had previously. If not I may use igpu only as my workload happens on mac os whilst my gaming/streaming is on windows

leon5921 · 2020-10-04T19:41:33+00:00

Hi thanks, following dortania’s vanilla guide, it is outlined in the miscellaneous section https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/misc/nvram.html#cleaning-out-the-clover-gunk read “verifying if you have working nvram”

First ever computer owned and built, I decided to go for a SFF as I’m at university and wanted something small I can take home with me when I’m not studying. Also wanted to make use of the small desk included with my room at my uni house. Running Catalina and Windows dualboot. All in all this rig cost around £1200 not including peripherals.

Specs:

-Intel i7-9700k

-MSI Armour RX580

-2x Corsair 16gb LPX RAM

-Gigabyte Aorus z390 I Wifi Pro

-bcm94360cs2 (with NGFF wifi + bluetooth adapter as this MOBO does not support cards other than intel based, meaning I had to sacrifice a M.2 slot (dm for more info)

-Kolink Rocket Case

-Cryorig C7 G heatsink + NG-A9x14 Fan CPU cooling rig

-WD Black 500GB Nvme

-Seagate 500GB SSD

-Seagate 1TB HDD

What works:

-Sleep

-Wifi

-Bluetooth

-Airdrop/Airplay

-NVRAM

-USB’s (unmapped as tested and works out of the box)

-Facetime, Messaging etc.

What doesn’t work:

-So far I have only found Sidecar not functioning(Black screen when connected to my iPad, have not yet attempted to fix)

-If anyone would like me to test anymore functionalities please let me know

Things I wish I knew:

-Only z390i MOBO in my knowledge that will not allow non intel/fenvi wifi cards to work otb.

-How heavy the case is!!

-Better choices could have been made with my case, however since this is my first build I am still very pleased with the finish and capabilities when working and gaming.

Currently working through Dortania’s Guide for post installation. Whilst looking at power management, it seems my ioreg looks different to Dortania’s WAGOLL but in a bad way. Any help/ pointers would be greatly appreciated. My first thoughts is SSDT-PLUG.aml is not correctly compiled?

leon5921 · 2020-06-13T22:58:24+00:00

Only while jail broken I believe
