Maybe, taking out the Boot Apple logo?

Yes, it is a possibility but why full recode now when the new Chameleon is coming up soon which will far exceed my own.

With that version the max size is about 390KB so then we can put in a lot more...

New version... now with SSDT override...

I tried implementing also smbios patch but it never got to booting (just stays at /boot...).

Checked the size: 63200 with smbios patch (could this be the problem?).

I need more info on the problem before I can add this...

As for now... enjoy the new version... :dance_24:

/extra supported?

At your request I modified the source to support this (took me about 5 minutes...).

It loads the extra drivers from /Extra/Extensions (remember the capital letter on extra...).

Enjoy... :wacko:

Thank you!

 

I will test it and report any bugs.

 

As for the "readme" (instructions), i think its still the same as the chameleon one.

 

 

 

Edit:

What file did you modify, is it only the "boot" & the rest are still the same as chameleon?

Reason for asking is, if its only the "boot" file, no need to use the rest of the file in the zip.

Yeah just boot as the loading of kexts happen in the third stage of the boot.

You will be pleased as I have allready tested this before publishing (made a little null style kext and put it with the right permissions under /Extra/Extensions and it loaded just fine...).

Extensions.mkext is not supported in /Extra ?

 

Only support /Extra/Extensions (Folder).

 

Or, am i missing something here.

It merges this in the main /System/Library/Extensions.mkext.
