mengshi Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Was wondering if Opencore can be used as standalone boot manager / picker without hackintosh. If so, how does one do it? How to edit the EFI subsequently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) @mengshi The way is the same. You can remove all unnecessary files (SSDTs, kexts, drivers as ToogleSipEntry, etc.), set config.plist according to it and OpenCore picker is shown to boot Windows or any tool. I don't have linux but I think it is easy to add it. I've tried it with this EFI folder structure (ACPI and Kexts folders are empty): /Users/yo/Desktop/EFI > tree . ├── BOOT │ └── BOOTx64.efi └── OC ├── ACPI ├── Drivers │ ├── FirmwareSettingsEntry.efi │ ├── HfsPlus.efi │ ├── OpenCanopy.efi │ ├── OpenRuntime.efi │ └── ResetNvramEntry.efi ├── Kexts ├── OpenCore.efi ├── Resources │ ├── Audio │ ├── Font │ │ ├── Font_1x.bin │ │ ├── Font_1x.png │ │ ├── Font_2x.bin │ │ └── Font_2x.png │ ├── Image │ │ ├── Acidanthera │ │ │ └── GoldenGate │ │ └── Chris1111 │ │ └── Squared │ └── Label ├── Tools │ └── OpenShell.efi └── config.plist And the attached config.plist (anonymized).
