(Ofc this comes as a huge axe to the hackintosh community but it is what it is - we can only hope that the brilliant folks over at OCLP cook up a proper solution that would help restore full functionality including AirPlay, AirDrop and other essential Continuity features (and not just network connectivity, although that would suffice for some I reckon), if not, then maybe it's time to start looking into Apple Silicon for those who wish to enjoy and experience all the goodness Apple has to offer with macOS on their main/production machine) Yes OCLP will do that for sure. But prepare for SIP partially disabled and SecureBoot disabled. AMFI, partially.

Stefanalmare Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) 56 minutes ago, nyu1985 said: That's pretty simple. Mac with M1 chips introduced new components that are mainly soldered. It doesn't mean apple drops the vendor like broadcom but the device used are soldered so it will be difficult to find it with standard connections. Another side effects that new mac pro is introducing, beside removing definitly intel proc, is that it won't handle gpu onto pcie slots as it uses M2 chips GPU only so it's more likely the end of AMD GPU support and no more AMD GPU series would be added (like rx 7xxx series). All comes together with Sonoma as it will be the main OS for new mac pro. The Chinese guys will "feel" the opportunity and the accepted chips will appear on the market soon with usual connections.

I will never be comfortable owning a computer with soldered RAM and specially soldered SSD's. But it was a good run. Maybe all the hackintosh developers can switch to linux to improve that system. Since that would be my prefered OS either way, if it had fractional scaling and non-blurry fonts in some apps 🤣. All I need for my computer is Vscode, some database apps, Slack and Skype. All of those exist on linux, sadly some of them are blurry on 4k monitors.

miliuco Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) @mick3lson @SavageAUS Boot args are those posted by @Stefanalmare but they work with last WhateverGreen commit, not on older. WhateverGreen developers instructions: If you have a CFL-based laptop and rely on the Backlight Registers Fix (BLR) to fix the 3-minute black screen issue, you may notice that BLR (`-igfxblr`) no longer work on macOS 13.4 or later. This is because Apple has simplified the implementation of the functions, `ReadRegister32` and `WriteRegister32`, in Coffee Lake's framebuffer driver shipped by macOS 13.4, so the compiler chose to inline invocations of those functions as many as possible. As a result, the `WriteRegister32` hooks registered by the Backlight Registers Fix (BLR) and the Backlight Smoother (BLS) submodules no longer work. Starting from v1.6.5, WEG can revert the optimizations done by the compiler in backlight related functions, provide an alternative to BLR and make BLS work properly on macOS 13.4 or later. Note that this alternative fix is only available for users who have laptops using Coffee Lake's graphics driver and running macOS 13.4 or later. You can add the property `enable-backlight-registers-alternative-fix` to `IGPU` or use the boot argument `-igfxblt` to enable this new fix and remove the boot argument `-igfxbls` and/or the device property `enable-backlight-registers-fix`. If you wish to use the Backlight Smoother on macOS 13.4 or later, you need to add both `-igfxblt` and `-igfxbrs` to the boot arguments. Note that Ice Lake platforms are not affected because `WriteRegister32` is not inlined in backlight related functions, while Kaby Lake platforms may be affected but are not supported by this new fix at this moment, because it is hard to fix the write operation on the register `0xC8250` due to the space limit.
