Andy Vandijck Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have recently improved the AppleSMBIOS project through the Macdotnub version combined with some of the parts of Superhai's SMBIOSResolver and ofcourse a little bit of code from the AppleSMBIOSEFI project. The result is a nicely working version my way with all of the capabilities needed for perfect functioning. Every bit of setting can be set through the Info.plist contained under the kext's contents. I will still further check this with real Mac entries. But as for now... enjoy. Included here are the MacBook Pro compiled version, the sources and some more info. Glad to have helped the Hackintosh community... AppleSMBIOS.kext_MacBookPro.zip AppleSMBIOS_28_AnV_R7_Src.zip AppleSMBIOS_Data.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Works great!! I cleaned it out, removed some unnecessary(according to me) files, redid the inside of the AppleSMBIOS to suit my needs an VIOLA!: It evens show up as a MacBook Pro on my Other "C2D G5" Thanx for a great Job!!

Riley Freeman Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Cool. I'll give this a try soon just to see how it compares. I was using macdotnub's one until recently. Then I switched to superhai's SMBIOSResolver so I could keep the AppleSMBIOS vanilla. It's working fine, the only cosmetic problem is the RAM is shown as "RAM" rather than "DDR2 SDRAM". Would you be able to do an enabler so the original AppleSMBIOS can be used? It probably makes little, if any, difference but at this stage I have no patched Apple kexts left. They've all been replaced with third-party or plist-only kexts running from /Extra/Extensions. Would like to keep things this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 is this only for macbookpro? cause it works also in my desktop but i see no difference besides that geekbench doesn't say model "hackintosh" anymore but says makbookpro 4.1 anyway, i have nothing to lose if i try it for some days any ideas in THIS issue?

MacNutty Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 My AppleSMBios.kext does not show the CPU features in System Profiler. After adding this kext, will it show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slice Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thank you, Andy! Your SMBIOS really fine. Now I see my RAM, model changed from MacPro3,1 to MacBookPro4,1, and GeekBench didn't say "Hackintosh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Freeman Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ooh thanks roisoft. I never knew why I wasn't able to get that in System Profiler. Just assumed I needed a hacked kernel or something similar. I wonder if it'd be possible to load that from a kext so it could be kept out of /S/L.

Slice Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 To make the sources compileable I need to add definition #define kIOPlatformUUIDKey "UUID-key" is it OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Since updating to 10.5.5, my computer no longer identifies as a Mac Pro. The icon in the sidebar has changed from the Mac Pro icon to the generic 'monitor' icon, and System Profiler reports Model Name as simply "Mac" (with "GJ456AA-AKD a6150.pl" under Model Identifier, which I assume is coming from the motherboard - it's an HP a6150 PC). I tried this SMBIOS (both the default MacBook version, and with Mac Pro data) in the hope it would restore it, but no. Mac.nub's previous release worked fine before the update, but also gave this behaviour afterwards. Is there anything I can do? Is this some problem unique to my system?

Slice Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 As I understand this SMBIOS works only with EFI installed while Netkas's one even without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chagani Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Andy, thanks for your efforts! Your version works with Munky's EFI partition boot config. I do have a few questions... What do the following keys in the Info.plist file mean: 1. UUID-key 2. nullify-system-type 3. compatible 4. model 5. product-name In "About this Mac" dialog box the CPU shows as Unknown, how can I fix this? Finally, my "Model Name" "Hardware" in System Profiler shows as Mac. How can I change it to Mac Pro? Regards, Chagani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinielascom Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Is possible only edit the info in systemprofiler on for add or edit the processor name ? thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flibblesan Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have Chameleon EFI running 10.5.5. I've tried this AppleSMBIOS and I don't get anything on the "hardware" tab of system profiler. I've tried vanilla kext with enablers and the same. Is there a problem with 10.5.5 that prevents system profiler working with AppleSMBIOS correctly, or am I missing a trick?

luiz Costa Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Now when I press "About This Mac" nothing shows up and the desktop restart with the initial blue screen ,mouse pointer and the main desktop. I use the backup to revert, but the problem still. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
