deeveedee Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I have a solution that may need different NVRAM keys for different versions of macOS (i.e. the keys need to be present in NVRAM for Ventura but not for Monterey and Big Sur). Is there any way to conditionally "inject" NVRAM keys via OC config.plist based on my OC boot-picker selection? And Slice is free to tell me to use CLOVER and select my config.plist at boot time If not, is the idea of enabling OC to offer config.plist options at boot time on anyone's radar for development?

deeveedee Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Not sure if any OC devs still pay attention to this. I just noticed that ocvalidate (0.9.2) does not detect the presence of both HfsPlus.efi and OpenHfsPlus.efi enabled in config.plist. If UEFI > Drivers includes both HfsPlus.efi and OpenHfsPlus.efi and both are enabled, ocvalidate does not warn about this condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google will be quite handy here or maybe Youtube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjayviper Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) my motherboard does not support NVMe boot so I've been using clover/refind I installed clover/refind into a USB. and I then boot into USB first then boot into NVMe (with either Windows or Linux). Is this possible with opencore? If yes, can you please provide (or link) on how to do this? Thank you. Edited June 4, 2023 by mrjayviper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, if I can't, I ask for help. Try "HP Z820 bios nvme" on Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try "HP Z820 bios nvme" on Google. which required a BIOS programmer since the built-in tools won't do it because of security... and some of these BIOS chips are not DIP so it's even harder to program. so much easier to just install a separate bootloader in a USB...

pkdesign Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) I've got a question for you all. I've been using MacbookPro13,1 for the longest time, but that SMBIOS will not let me update to Ventura. What would be my best option for a new SMBIOS that will update and not give me grief?

Have been for a long time. I guess my question should have been, should I use the unlimited ports? Edited June 13, 2023 by pkdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
