Hi all — sharing a free macOS app I built: Kernel Inspector. It opens a .kext bundle or any Mach-O binary and lets you dig through it (think a lightweight Hopper), plus it bundles the Hackintosh chores I got tired of doing by hand. Download: https://github.com/luminadevapps/KernelInspector/releases Source: https://github.com/luminadevapps/KernelInspector WHAT IT DOES Analyze - Info.plist — kext identifier, version, UUID, linked libs, full searchable Info.plist - Hex Editor — byte view with hex find & replace and patch-to-file - Symbols — full nlist_64 table with global/local/undefined/debug filters - Disassembly — ARM64 / x86-64 of __text, colour-coded by branch/call/return - Control Flow — per-function basic-block graph - Pseudocode — heuristic pseudo-C (readability aid, not a decompiler) System (Hackintosh) - Install Kexts — readiness dashboard (SIP / macOS build / target / cache tool), install a .kext to /Library/Extensions or into your OpenCore EFI (auto-adds Kernel->Add + plugins to config.plist, backs it up first), rebuild caches, uninstall - Maintenance — ESP-mounter style EFI partition mount/unmount, Kernel Debug Kit manager, config.plist viewer, APFS snapshot cleanup All privileged steps use the standard macOS admin prompt — the app never sees your password. INSTALL 1. Download the .dmg from the Releases page 2. Drag Kernel Inspector into Applications 3. First launch only: right-click -> Open -> Open (it's ad-hoc signed, not notarized) Needs macOS 13+ and the Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install) — the disassembler shells out to otool/llvm-objdump. NOTES Pseudocode/CFG are heuristic. Parser targets 64-bit Mach-O. It's a study/RE aid for binaries you own or are allowed to analyse. Feedback and bug reports welcome — cheers!

Great App, my friend! Here are the sensor data for the MacBook Pro M1 (2020). Cheers, kgp smcdump-MacBookPro17,1-20260720-132211.txt

Guys, I need your help: with this "b5" version, please go to the settings shown in the photo and send me the sensor dump generated on your desktop. The ones I urgently need are M1 and M2. Thanks for your help. https://github.com/Lorys89/App-test/raw/refs/heads/main/SiliconMonitorCenter 1.0 b5.zip

Exciting news on this front: Someone vibe coded such a translation layer and has a macOS 13 VM running on x86-64 Linux with Metal paravirtualized through Vulkan. It’s still a WIP and no repo has been published (yet), but it looks like a promising soon-to-be open source implementation of my idea. Furthermore, according to a reply in the comments, the OP’s host’s GPU is a newer NVIDIA GPU that wouldn’t ever be supported otherwise by native macOS. Figured I’d share this here with the larger Hackintosh community. OSx86 lives on after all! (Plus it has potential to be combined with an ARM emulator to get Apple Silicon versions of macOS emulated on non-Apple hardware, but that is likely still light years away… but it’s still theoretically possible. This project is cool nonetheless!)

@MakAsrock Thanks for the info!

Installation of VoodooHDA.kext 3.6.4 was easy on my HP EliteBook 850 G7 running macOS Tahoe 26.6 Beta (25G5065a): Remove other audio kext from /Library/Extensions (in my case, I removed VoodooHDA.kext 3.6.2) Leave csr-active-config = <01000000> (No need to relax SIP when replacing VoodooHDA.kext with another VoodooHDA.kext) Modify VoodooHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist: VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix = True sudo cp -R VoodooHDA.kext /Library/Extensions When prompted, Allow VoodooHDA in System Settings > Privacy & Security Reboot Audio working perfectly. I don't have AMD HDMI on this hack, so I can't test AMD HDMI/DP audio, but audio quality with my internal speakers is outstanding. EDIT: Codec_Info

ATTENTION! The website opencorelegacypatcher.org is a typosquatting site impersonating Dortania to launch ClickFix attacks and install Atomic Stealer (it previously delivered AsyncRAT). The only legitimate and safe addresses are: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ https://github.com/dortania/opencore-legacy-patcher/ https://github.com/ybronst/oclp-plus https://github.com/kgp-macpro https://github.com/laobamac/oclp-mod

On My Macs it is tested well, but on other Macs with other M CPUs it is to be tested and fixed well, in my Macs I tested it by comparing it with mac fan control and with tg pro and with stats. With the other apps I had all the different temp core values and between the various apps they also differed. I solved this by doing the core p and all core stress tests to find the correct smc keys. I will post the b4 in the next few hours. https://github.com/Lorys89/App-test/raw/refs/heads/main/SiliconMonitorCenter 1.0 b4.zip

Understood. Still I have not introduced in Swift 6, I'm Swift 5, but I see that I must go ahead with the current version. It's just laziness to switch to something new, but there's no other option. Anyway, the app looks very beautiful.

I started macOS Tahoe 26.6 Beta 5 installation. macOS 26.6 beta 5 (25G5065a)

Thanks!!

yes swift 6

@lorys89 The app works very well, as before. I like the UI very much, these colored almost transparent blocks. How did you develop it? Is it SwiftUI? I can't see settings or a menubar, I suppose that there are no ones.

Fixed some CPU temperature bugs and added a calibration function for E-core and P/S-core temperatures (found in Settings). and others minor bugs. https://github.com/Lorys89/App-test/raw/refs/heads/main/SiliconMonitorCenter 1.0 b3.zip

Hello everyone, for those who like to make life easier, I've updated VoodooHDA Builder to the new kext and added a button to remove the old VoodooHDA and PrefPane. Have fun! https://github.com/maxpicelli/VoodooHDA-Builder/releases/tag/1.1.0 All doing smooth Thanks @Slice @chris1111 and all devs!! @MaLd0n too!!

Fix some things to post here for test. I'm working on this

Yes!! Will be nice !! Thanks!! Grazie!!

Tried and it seems like it works but then Digital Audio (HDMI/DP) doesn't shows up ;( AppleALC works but it has only HDMI/DP working

@MaLd0n this sounds great! Is this version available for download?
