b105 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 As the title says, I'm wondering whether OPEMU is functional enough to emulate SSE4.1 required for 10.12 and up. Since the machine I'm working on has a Phenom II, there is no SSE4 and the max version I can install is 10.11. This seems promising, but there haven't been any reports of it actually working. Has anybody tried it with a legacy AMD/Intel CPU? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight I could build some new kernels based on the new OPEMU by Andy Van Dijk, Ydeng or by Meowthra, but without any guarantee that these kernels will work with 100% security. I would have liked to test these kernels on my system (Phenom II CPU, GA990-FXA-UD3), unfortunately the hardware gives me great difficulties and so I gave up. You would then have to test these kernels on your hardware and then report us what works and what does not works. But first of all I have to install the appropriate MacOS version so that I can build these kernels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b105 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Yes, I can do that once I get 10.10 running on Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what kexts to use for USB to work in 10.10? I tried XLNCUSBFix already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what kexts to use for USB to work in 10.10? I tried XLNCUSBFix already. sorry, had a lot to do, here are various USB fixes for El Capitan 10.11. * and Sierra 10.12. * Proceed as follows: navigate to System/Library/Extensions then duplicate the Extensions folder. You have to do this first thing before you make any changes to your system. There are USB Fixes packages that make profound changes in the Extensions folder, so use it with caution. read the attached information which is in the respective packages. After you have inserted the drivers after S/L/Extensions, you have to generate the prelinkedkernel before restarting macOS. Always test one USB fix package. Start with "USB-FIX_El_Capitan_V3" and add the entire content to S/L/Extensions. Then generate a new prelinkedkernel based on the description in to readme file, which is in the "USB Fix V4-for Sierra" package. If you have an ASUS board then read the further instructions in the Readme file below. The appendix contains an untested AMD Sierra 10.12.6 kernel with SSE4.1 emulator, and a appropriate System.kext If this test kernel should not boot, then write again, then I will build another kernel based on AnV's new OPEMU USB-Fixes: USB-Fix_El_Capitan_V3.zip USB-Fix El_Capitan.zip USB Fix V4-for Sierra.zip Shaneee´s AMD USB Fix v3.zip Shaneee's AMD USB Fix.zip Test Kernel: Sierra10.12.6-SSEPlus_V2-SSE4.1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b105 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Unfortunately, it seems with this kernel I get an immediate X64 exception error with the kernel you attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
