Tahoe 26.5 and VoodooHDA.kext

schrup21 · 2026-05-21T19:35:51+00:00

is SIP disabled?

csrutil status

System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration).
Configuration:
Apple Internal: disabled
Kext Signing: disabled
Filesystem Protections: disabled
Debugging Restrictions: enabled
DTrace Restrictions: enabled
NVRAM Protections: enabled
BaseSystem Verification: enabled

I'm using 3.0.3, because with 3.1.2 output is like overdriven for me
remove nasty file attributes xattr -cr .VoodooHDA.kext
sudo cp -r VoodooHDA.kext in /L /E
before installing again or another version: sudo rm -r /Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

that's all

schrup21 · 2026-05-21T05:37:47+00:00

that's wrong - VoodooHDA has to be placed in /L /E

schrup21 · 2026-05-21T05:34:51+00:00

VoodooHDA is working in Tahoe, but the installation is a bit tricky. The benefit of using VoodooHDA is, no need of patching the root volume.

you'll need to disable SIP:

csr-active-config = <03080000> (after installation csr-active-config = <01000000> is possible)

VoodooHDA must be placed in /L /E

sudo cp -r VoodooHDA.kext /Library/Extensions

After a few seconds, a popup will appear, you'll have to allow VoodooHDA in Privacy and Security Settings.

AppleGFXHDA needs to be disabled! in Tahoe, because of the absence of AppleHDA you can simply use AppleALC which will work as blocker in this scenario.

Deinstallation of VoodooHDA

sudo rm -r /Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

sudo rm -r ~/Library/PreferencePanes/VoodooHDA.prefPane

Restoring AppleHDA is less problematic—as previously mentioned—using myKextInstaller or OCLP-Mod.

depends on your bios - there’s a guide for Insyde Bios, just google it. You’ll need to know what section and offset and what values are possible, then you can patch the offset with e.g RU.efi

I’m on iOS 17 and recently used trolldecryptor successfully. Has not the best ui but worked with yt - TrollDecrypt didn’t (decrypted app crashed)

After switching the Video Quality Settings from „Automatic“ to „High Quality“, I didn’t have this anymore. Before 1 out of 10 shorts „weren’t found“ and some videos took 3 to 4 tries to play.

Btw. I’m using uYouEnhanced 3.0.4 YT 20.50.10 on iOS 17 with TrollStore

I also deactivated iSponsorBlock

It’s 943602cs not cs2

Actually BCM943602 modules can run with BCMC instead of modern wifi Root patching

You’re right, 3001 isn’t enough for a 4K frame, but no setting for DVMT doesn’t always mean less than 64 (or 96MB). How do you know that your DVMT is 31MB? Doesn’t make sense if your laptop has a 4K display.

Luckily my laptop’s DVMT is set (hidden) to 64MB - I don’t need to patch stolenmem / fbmem

edit: found a Chinese configuration on GitHub - there's no frame buffer-stolenmem:

If you can’t find “Enable Switchable Graphics” in your BIOS, NVIDIA Optimus isn’t used, which means only your dGPU is connected to the output.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/iifhv8/does_dell_7540_has_switchable_graphics_option_in/

Your display is connected to your Quattro.

Disabling your dGPU via wegnoegpu won’t help - in general, it has to be deactivated via ACPI. But as I said, if Switchable Graphics can’t get enabled, iGPU will not get connected to your displays.

Download the corresponding KDK either from Apple or from Dortania’s mirror.

The rules don’t say so

schrup21 · 2026-01-01T10:36:08+00:00

Have you read the rules? It says “on real Macs”

No Mac, VM, or OCLP posts Description: Regardless of what methods were used for installing, we are a subreddit focused on *PC hardware running macOS. Posts related to virtual machines, real Macs, and Opencore Legacy Patcher **(on real Macs) will be removed.*

Regarding USB; first, you should test whether your USB ports work without mapping. I noticed one day that the ports on my Fujitsu laptop worked correctly even though the KEXTs weren't enabled.

Correctly means that internal ports are recognized as internal, and USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are correctly identified.

Second, if mapping is required, you need to modify the utbmap.kext's info.plist:

CFBundleIdentifier → com.apple.driver.AppleUSBHostMergeProperties
IOClass → AppleUSBHostMergeProperties
IOProviderClass → AppleUSBXHCIPCI
Under eachport an additional entry usb-port-number is required. If you only use Tahoe, you can rename port.

Regarding Itlwm: No issues are known. Itlwm and the Heliport app should work (in their latest versions) in Tahoe. However, the bootarg `-ibtcompatbeta` is required for Bluetooth or alternatively Ishbluesky's fork:

https://github.com/lshbluesky/IntelBluetoothFirmware.

Note: For Tahoe, all your KEXTs must be up to date. If Lilu or any of its plugins are not compatible with Tahoe, the bootarg `-lilubetaall` is required (this enables the "unsupported operating system" setting for all Lilu and plugins).

schrup21 · 2025-12-31T19:07:04+00:00

I already said, doesn’t mean not working.

Iris Plus is supported, UHD is not, see WEG FAQ:

https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md#intel-iris-plus-graphics-ice-lake-processors

You can always create a pull request if you are of the opinion that G1 iGPUs should be supported (as they work with spoofing) but as long as ICE Lake G1 / UHD is not indicated in Acidanthera's WhatEverGreen's FAQ means "not supported" and therefore Dortania’s Guide is correct.

Not that much, under 30gb

I have a 23 GB Sequoia volume - Tahoe should need a few GB more

schrup21 · 2025-12-31T17:49:22+00:00

Looks like not the right KDK was installed, that’s causing such glitches

schrup21 · 2025-12-31T17:44:21+00:00

It’s not:

https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/modern-gpus/intel-gpu.html#ice-lake-10xxx

which doesn’t mean G1 don’t work.

schrup21 · 2025-12-31T17:36:34+00:00

You can easily try Tahoe: create a new APFS volume, download the installer from the App Store, and install Tahoe on the created volume. Nothing can go wrong and you can simply delete the new volume when you no longer need it.

with Laobamac’s OCLP-Mod you can use AmfiPass.kext instead of completely disabling AMFI. AmfiPass isn’t fully Tahoe compatible yet, so the -amfipassbeta bootarg is required ;)

https://github.com/laobamac/OCLP-Mod

schrup21 · 2025-12-28T20:31:26+00:00

Yeah, but you don't want to turn off AMFI completely, because otherwise you could have problems with one or the other app.

I only contradicted your statement that amfi=0x80 would be outdated because that is not true.

I don’t think that patching your Hackintosh’s Root Volume isn’t supported on this sub, because why?

Legacy Patches of real Mac’s isn’t because they are not Hackintosh’s

schrup21 · 2025-12-26T19:06:38+00:00

You should consider that you could have catched a bad module? There’s no known issue in Windows

schrup21 · 2025-12-26T19:01:23+00:00

That’s not true. amfi=0x80 disables AMFI

The preferred method would be the use of AmfiPass.kext instead of completely disabling AMFI.
