hello, new comer here.Need some help for M17x R4 of Big Sur(OC)

[cccsskit]

Hello,i am a newb of this, just make around 3 days to make it installed and 3days to diy the whole EFI to complete the kext.

now I have a few problems asking

 

1.Killer 1675X the BT not detected but wifi work

 

2.I am Using the 120hz 3D Panel that will be drive dGPU(GTX 660M(GK107M) only, while the ID is 0FD4 but can't reconlized by not using nv_disable=1 and no signal,how can I make my card work?even can't boot if I define it in DeviceProperties 

 

PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

AAPL,slot-name;Internal@0,1,0/0,0

device_type;VGA compatible controller

model;GK107M [GeForce GTX 660M]

 

I have tested the 60hz Panel and active the iGPU also

nv_disable=1 also make the iGPU VRAM=7MB and no acceleration(like fake)

if no flag it will have no signal, even the cursor of black screen

 

 

3.Monitor EDID not correct

 

4.SB Recon3Di I sound card can't detect with AppleALC in ALC=11.The CodecCommander cant make it work

VoodooHDA can drive it but SliderVolume is not work(kext option set to true already)

Install id:	HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_1102&DEV_0011&SUBSYS_1458A016&REV_1009\4&6C8D95D&0&0201
Hardware id:	USB\VID_0C76&PID_1607&REV_0100&MI_00

 

 

 

5.some minor problem

 

CPUpm

unsupported CPU

unsupported PCH

 

 

-----------

I am most concerned about the GPU, it can barely use only ,so laggy X(

 

thank you for reading and please give me some help.

Sounds like you're making pretty good progress for just starting out. It can be a bit of a challenge, but it's worth it when you eventually win.

 

Here's a link to guide from a guy on GitHub who has basically the same laptop and has his up and running. Some of this may possibly help.

https://github.com/RockJesus/Alienware-17-R4-Dual-GPU-MacOS-12-11-10-Hackintosh

 

There are likely more guides and info out there, just Google M17x R4 Hackintosh.

 

According to this page on the Dortania site your 660M graphics chip is still supported on Big Sur,

https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/modern-gpus/nvidia-gpu.html#unsupported-nvidia-gpus

You could also just stick with the integrated Intel graphics, thats what I do on my laptop

 

If you know the audio codec that is used on Windows then this chart will likely help, (stick with AppleALC)

https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

VoodooHDA will always get you sound, but it will never work as you might hope. One or the other, don't use them both at once.

 

Otherwise I strongly recommend that you start with the guides on the Dortania site for OpenCore. They'll walk you through getting things configured step be step, plus you'll have a better understanding of what it all does by the time you're done.

thx for help.

The frist guide is completely difference with M17x , it cant be use for reference.

i knew Kelper should be native support but can't make it work.

accoring to the link, i found out my card is

Creative

CA0132

0x100918, layout 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 99 so,do i just type ALC=0-12,99 to try?

Try each audio layout one after the other. I know that's a lot of reboots, but one of them should work.

i had tried all ALC id, still no dectection

You should try to patch out the IRQ conflict, config.list -> ACPI->patch. In most cases, IRQ 0, 2, 8:

 

"TMR IRQ 0 Fix": <22010079 00> -> <22000079 00> 

"PIC IRQ 2 Fix":  <22040079 00> -> <22000079 00>

"RTC0 IRQ 8 Fix": <22000179 00> -> <22000079 00>

thx for reply

Excuse me,is these patch for the sound card?

[cccsskit]

hackintosh tool Device details listed

i have some progress about GPU at DeviceProperties 

 

PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

device-id;(bland) or not d40f(GTX660M)

 

it can boot without nv_disable=1(but in d40f is bland screen,wired)

system information said No kext loaded even i put in OC>Kext to force loaded

This is required to make AppleALC to work with your on-board audio (from the C216 chipset). But I realized this may not apply to you, since your Dell laptop audio output may be wired to the Sound Blaster chip instead. 

 

There was a macOS 10.11 driver from Creative website, just google "sound blaster recon3d macOS driver". You may want to give it a try. You may also need to spoof the  device-id to make it work for the OEM hardware.

You may try to fake the GPU device-id to GTX 750M (GK107), as it is supported by Apple in their 2013 MacPro.

Googled show two possible ID's: 0x0FE4, 0x0FE9. Try both of them. Enter "E40F' or "E90F"  in the device-id field (reversed byte).

when i modded the kext became blended, and restore back the kext it suddenly cant boot with nv_disable again =(

 

i dun know what is going on about the kext.

 

so while in disabling, the GPU is recognized but  not correctly either i spoofed to 750M already.why?

 

Ofcause it will be blended without it.

May be you need to do a NVRAM reset/clear?

[cccsskit]

Oh,I am always forgot to do this.

Tried to reset the nvram , still blended

 

if i add AAPL,slot-name;Internal@0,1,0/0,0

it will get a SMC error

Edited October 13, 2022 by cccsskit

[cccsskit]

finally,some one teach me to use remote to see the result.so here it is.

 

Physically bland display.

system detection error,overview didnt show the card

in System info show GTX 660M but id is 750M even i spoofed.

seems like have full accelerated but cant connected to a monitor.

 

great news!

nvdisable

the display info,so next step?
