[UPDATED] MSI GS63VR (Stealth Pro, 7rf)

[JadaOnyx]

Hi everyone!

 

I did a macOS installation on my gaming notebook... With a technically fully working GTX1060 + HD630 even with a muxless setup (stuck on High Sierra, web drivers you know) because HDMI and miniDP outputs are controlled by Nvidia. With a headless HDMI adapter I can use my internal display (4k version, routed to the iGPU) to play games like a regular Nvidia Optimus. But that's not the point (or yes? maybe if we manage to inject some values like "hey this dGPU isn't a dGPU. It's an eGPU!" we can use some tools like "set e-GPU" or "Automate-eGPU". TA-DAAA!!... but ik its hard or maybe impossible).

90% of things works:

- USBs
- Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C mode 100%, Thunderbolt 3 mode partially working, no hotplug I think, not tested)

- Ethernet

- SD card.

- Bluetooth (Partially, broken at sleep/wake)

- Touchpad (+gestures etc) and Keyboard

- Intel ME properly injected.

- Intel iGPU (No hardware-based DRM due to chipset restriction/Intel ME keys to load Apple GuC firmware, and PAVP)
- NVIDIA GTX1060 (fully working but maybe you need a HDMI headless to do a very primitive "Optimus", but external screens 10/10)

- Audio. But read this, there's 2 layout id. One layout id recognizes 3.5 headphone as a regular connector, allowing you to change volume (and, I forgot Layout ID number). Other enables the optical output inside that 3.5 connector (already selected) while regular headphones works too but you can't change the volume.

 

Doesnt work:
- WiFi. Incompatible card. You must replace it.
- Netflix hardware-based DRM with iGPU. I thought it was working but nope, max 720p quality and not using Safari but Chrome or Opera so forget +1080p or use Windows.

But there are 2 devices left. I don't know the correct/equal device ids or "compatible" value for a real Kaby lake Mac: https://prnt.sc/z94dyk and https://prnt.sc/z94fof. This devices are not enabled in a real Mac.

 

...and, I forgot to say before, my battery is discharging at reason of 19-21 Watts at idle (yeah, per second). I think it's too high and there is something wrong (oh, god). I tried to disable the dGPU using a SSDT table and it gives me a difference from 1 to 2 watts only so it isnt related to this issue. Nevermind just a... wrong setting in bios + HDD :roto2: W/o HDD and ASPM blablabla ow 9-11Watts/sec

Thanks for read all post, amigo. and for not being a matao <3

Sorry for my bad english btw

P.D: I hope my EFI folder can help someone. YOU MUST generate a valid serial number, a motherboard serial number/MLB, replace "ROM" content with your ethernet mac address, generate a UUID in order to get iCloud/iMessage/FaceTime working.

 

This EFI folder was tested with High Sierra. You must update kext files if you want to use this with Mojave or more.

Little (big) update

Little (big) update. Thunderbolt 3 and some fixes + ALS0 device but I have no plan to update my PC to Mojave or more so I cant test it.
