OpenCore General Discussion

[Guest 5T33Z0]

I  had a look at this new HackinDROM App. Basically it's a Database for uploading/downloading/building/updating OpenCore EFI Folders with some settings that can be tweaked.

 

Just for fun, I downloaded the EFI Folder which is suposedly for my Z490 Vision G Board and had a good look at it. As expected, it was just another "rebranded" version of Schmocklords Vision D EFI folder – which most Vision G EFIs are. It even contained his comments in the ACPI section as well als the same minor config issues as his.

 

Not a fan of this app so far since all the EFIs are undocumented. But what do you guys think about this app?

[ghost8282]

Not a fan of any app outside opencore development, I prefer to follow the commits on github, compile the master myself and manually change/update my EFI manually, all I need is terminal and textedit.

I just saw a tutorial about that app on youtube, yes it seems simple to setup, but too much automated: this means that for the user, if it works it's a perfect app, if it doesn't, it's {censored}.

And since I have respect for all the developers I prefer to not use any app and blame them, but blame myself to be an idiot if something goes wrong

 

[Check-IN]

Hello,

i have a fully working Asus Prime Z390-a system, with only IGFX.

But in my OC log i have too many errors.

I'm not able to find any info about this errors, on Dortania i have not found useful info about it.

Can anyone tell anywhere how i can solve?

really?? this is a beautiful news!

so what is it about? if you tell me where I can find some documentation to understand for myself why they are not errors, even if they start with ERR, I would be very grateful

[mhaeuser]

@Check-IN It's debug information from boot.efi (macOS bootloader), not OpenCore itself. "ERR" indeed does mean "ERROR", but it's different from a user-facing error. For example, a file, folder, or property not existing yields a "not found error" (0xE actually is the EFI code for "not found"), however that is not critical (i.e. not a user-facing error). Unfortunately there currently is not much documentation about the boot.efi output.

Asking this here, since I think this might be OC/config.plist related...

 

Cinebench R23 incorrectly reports my rig's i7-9700 (8C/8T) CPU as a 4C/8T CPU.

 

Spoiler

 

I suspect that this is purely cosmetic since About This Mac reports my hack as an 8C i7

Spoiler

 

but I'm curious about why Cinebench might detect the wrong core count.  I have tried setting OC's PlatformInfo>Generic>ProcessorType (currently set to 0) to various 8C CPU types, but changing ProcessorType did not change Cinebench's detected core count. Cinebench always detects 4C/8T regardless of OC's ProcessorType.

 

Any ideas?

 

EDIT:

The following commands report the correct number of CPU cores, so I suspect that this is a Cinebench R23 issue.

• sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu: 8

• sysctl -n hw.ncpu: 8

 

EDIT2:

Cinebench R23 correctly reports 6C/12T for i7-8700 on the same platform.

Added sysctl command results; Added note about i7-8700.

ResetNVRAM icon broken after flavour commits?

In resources folder I populated only the Image/Acidanthera/GoldenGate folder with all the icons from ocbinarydata and modified the config.plist accordingly.

			<key>PickerMode</key>
			<string>External</string>
			<key>PickerVariant</key>
			<string>Acidanthera\GoldenGate</string>

The ResetNVRAM icon is that of an internal drive, I think it changed after the commits from MikeBeaton (flavour).

 

Update: sorry I missed the Flavours.md file in Docs: I put NVRAMTool.icns (same as Shell.icns) into Resources\Image\Acidanthera\GoldenGate but still the NVRAM icon is that of the internal drive.

Then you already have read it. ResetNVRAM default icon is HardDrive.icns if there is not a ResetNVRAM.icns file.

Thanks, I want the icon of the shell, so I have to rename the icon to ResetNVRAM.icns...trying now

Yes it works by renaming the icon to ResetNVRAM.icns

Thanks

But do you have saved also default Shell.icns? Not only renamed but copied and renamed. To have Shell.icns, other way UEFI Shell picks the generic Tool icon.

I have the full \Acidanthera\GoldenGate from ocbinarydata, so yes, I have Shell.icns, all I did was adding another Shell.icns renamed to ResetNVRAM.icns

Looks like it was just a binary which got accidentally commited. Should still be there when you build OpenCore or download one of the releases. The source code is still there for it.

Edit: Oops, look like I got beaten to it by a few seconds lol

Hi @all

Just a stupid question: when I press space bar, tools and resetNvram icons appears. When I press space bar a second time, nothing : the icons are already there.  How to make them disappear ?

Hi Bro as far as I know when you press the Space Bar a second time nothing happens, that is normal.

 

Hi Bro,
Exactly. Nothing, unlike Clover, when you type F3

Why? You press Space to show hidden items if you need, dont press Space if you dont need

[miliuco]

But thinking about a very user-friendly interface, it would be a logical behavior, press spacebar and auxiliary shown, press spacebar again and auxiliary hidden.
What do the OpenCore developers think about it?
