What graphics card do you have compatible with Snow Leopard on newer hardware?

Rx 570 8GB

I'm afraid it's not compatible. I'm thinking maybe I need to find an older graphics card that supports it? For example, HD3870-4670 or follow this link https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/24947/ It is not possible to use a newer graphics card recognized by the OS. Or it might be possible to make your own special Kexts accordingly.

It is purely my personal opinion.

YOu definitely need a GPU from the SL era. Something like this: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/14612/list-of-graphics-cards-supported-by-snow-leopard-10-6-x-but-not-opencl-capable

Some of them are embedded (X3100) and some of them are AGP cards so can't be used on modern hardware.

I think Nvidia 7300 or 7600 is real to use. They work up to 10.7 Lion not more.

@STLVNUB PCI Cards I have from around 2009/10 are:

• NVIDIA GTS 250
• Radeon HD 5450 (my iMac11,3 has a Radeon HD 5670 and I think I could install SL on it). The 2009 iMac definitely runs on SL and uses a Radeon HD 4850 You can get the Radeon Cards pretty cheap on ebay.

Thanks for Your Input, But I Have A Hunch That My Current Video Card SHOULD Be Backwards Compatible, Will Find Out IF I Every Get It To Boot

I ran Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, everything from 10.4 to 13.2 on a MacPro3,1 with GTX680 Mac Edition (UGA EFI driver). No acceleration until 10.7 or 10.8, but earlier Mac OS X versions can use the EFI framebuffer just fine. I don't know how well that works on a Hackintosh. Does it need UGA instead of GOP EFI driver? Does it need some Apple EFI protocol? I suppose that stuff can be added by OpenCore.

Kepler will work with full acceleration since 10.7.5 up to 12.0beta6.

VESA mode is probably possible in all systems.

Yes, if VESA mode doesn't work well, the screen will be very slow.

Is there another entry in addition to "PlatformInfo > Generic > SystemProductName" in Open Core's config.plist that defines the Mac Model name?  I ask, because when I run Open Core Legacy Patcher, it detects my hack as "Latitude E6410" even though my SystemProductName is defined as "MacBookPro6,2" in OC's config.plist.

 

If possible, I'd like to be able to configure something in my OC config.plist that makes OCLP detect the Mac Model name and not my laptop's actual model name.

 

I'm looking through OCLP source code now to figure this out, but if someone knows already, it would be a big time saver.  Thank you.

 

I executed the following commands in terminal and don't see why OCLP wouldn't detect my Mac Model:

 

ioreg -lp IOService | grep model   
    |   "model" = <"MacBookPro6,2">

ioreg -lp IOService | grep board-id
    |   "board-id" = <"Mac-F22586C8">

Hi All

 

For my SSDT-USB-MAP, I need help to convert Droptables (Clover) to Opencore. I read configurations.pdf but I don't understand how.

Perhaps, CustomSampleConfig.plist can help you. There is a SMBIOS section.

There is also Serial Number which contains model code.

But probably OCLP looks in SMBIOS instead of IOReg.

OpenCore does it in this way (thanks @cankiulascmnfye )

Im use two methods. It's better in Windows, but have to macOs too. 

 

XiaSL that fix red errors when compile your DSDT, and extract all tables too, and SSDTTime to drop ACPI tables for Opencore.

 

Nice user on Git Hub. Im fix my USB RHUB with his tutorial. Is the best for me.

Good evening folks, can I please just ask if the OpenCore boot chime is now known to work over HDMI or not?

 

I have it working from the audio jacks at the rear but currently don't have speakers on this build so was trying to enable it over HDMI.

 

HDMI audio works well once macOS Ventura, Sonoma and Windows 11 are booted.

I don’t know if it works or not but did you put the pci address of the device in the audio section on your config?

For me HDMI audio works in Ventura but not at boot time with AudioDxe connected to AMD RX570.

AFAIK the driver AudioDxe can't work with AMD HDMI audio.

May be it will work with Intel or Nvidia HDMI audio.

Hi, Slice:

I need convert Clover's Graphics>RadeonDeInit function to OpenCore, but according to https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/clover-conversion/Clover-config.html

this SSDT method seems not working in my M5A(FX-6300) Hackintosh.

I have posted my IOReg & 2 SSDT.aml for your reference.

Do you have any correct way to fix it ?

How can I stop OpenCore messing with the audio in ArchLinux? If I boot with F12 menu into Arch sound works, if I use OpenCore I get no output devices. I DO NOT want to use the F12 menu every time, defeats the purpose.
I have been troubleshooting this for days on the ArchLinux forums etc only to find out today that it’s OpenCore.
In my config.plist I have this set or else I do not get the boot chime.
UEFI > Driver > AudioDxe.efi > Arguments > —force-device=PciRoot(device path) device path is the actual path. Could this be causing the problem?

So hopefully if I add another flag to audiodxe it will stop it from interfering with Linux.
Will test in a minute.

That's what the "OCLP-Model" NVRAM entry is for. But iit has to be present in NVRAM/Delete as well so that it can be written:

@jsl2000 If you are using Whatevergreen and DeInit is not working in OC and if it is also not working with the SSDT, create an issue report so this can be fixed.
