FCU4ever Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I succesfully installed MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my Asus G73sw laptop with the MacBookPro10,1 SMBios. My Hackintosh also work with the MacBookPro10,1 SMBios. The problem is that MacBookPro10,1 is for “Ivy Bridge” laptops and not for “Sandy Bridge” like mine. Because of the MacBookPro10,1 SMBios I’m unable to generate a SSDT.aml file with ssdtPRGen.sh from Piker-Alpha (see attachment). My Asus G73sw laptop has an Intel I7-2630QM processor and a Nvidia GTX460m videocard. The SMBios that comes close to my specifications is the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios. I changed the SMBios to MacBookPro8,2 with CloverConfigurator, copied the config.plist to my EFI folder and reboot -> black screen. Then I tried a few things to get the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios working: - Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and add the below to KextToPatch com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy BA050000 00 BA000000 00 Prevent AGDP from loading Reboot -> Apple bar won’t load - Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and changed productname to iMac13,2 Reboot -> Apple bar load but get a blackscreen - Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and changed productname to iMac13,2 and add the below to KextToPatch com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy BA050000 00 BA000000 00 Prevent AGDP from loading Reboot -> laptop boots good So the laptop boots with the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios when I changed the productname and add a few lines to my kextToPatch. Changing the productname isn’t the right solution I think because I’m again not able to generate a SSDT.aml. Can someone help me to get the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios working so that I can generate a correct SSDT.aml for my hackintosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styrian Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hello! I would stay at Smbios of MBP 10,1/2 and let Clover generate C- and P-states for your Sandybridge CPU. Clover is reading your cpu type not depending on chosen SMBios. If AGPM is not loaded you have to make a LegacyAGPM.kext. For a HOWTO use please the forum search. Have fun. PS: SSdtPregen should only be used for Ivy Bridge CPU's and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Thanks for your response. As you indicated, I will stay on SMbios MBP10,1 and edit my config.plist with CloverConfigurator to generate my C- and P-states. If I'm right I don't need an SSDT anymore? With the SMBios MBP10,1 I don't need to add 'Prevent AGDP from loading' to my kexttopatch. Is it still necessary to make a LegacyAGPM.kext? config_Test.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styrian Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello! With my Dell L 702x 3D I have used the SMB of MBP 8,3 faked with this platform SMB by renaming it to MBP 8,4 a not exiting one one to be able to load AGPM and the PM legacy kext. A bi later I wil upload them here in the post. Try them. You need only to rename from 10,1 to 8,4. I think this should work. If you get AGPM and the x86.. loaded ( 4 entries under core one of CPU in IOREG), everything should be okay. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styrian Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello! Could you please upload a saved system profiler file and ioreg. (put the files in a new folder of your disire and compress it)? I want to have a look at them. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styrian Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hello! Does your device sleep on lid close? It should be possible to get it working with SMB of MBP 8,3 to get PM and AGPM working with it. Can you please upload your current used Clover folder? Have fun.

Very busy the past few weeks. My device doesn't sleep with the lid close. What is the advantage to get PM and AGPM working instead of staying on SMB MBP10,1 without PM and AGPM working?
