Thanks for that 😭

Exactly middle of winter down here. Cold, windy and flooding and it's 6pm. Have to stay inside and out of danger for the next few days so there's that I guess... I may have finally got things working by turning my USB map into an aml in sequoia so not sure what to do until Monday.

Need to move to Auckland mate, Got the wind and rain but no flooding and can Hack in peace

I  couldn't stand the silence any more.

I was annoyed having to switch in between Mac versions to listen to music and hear speech in near normal voice.

 

I had to take a crash course in mandarin and install OCLP-Mod.pkg.

Hoping there is no nasties lurking in the background.

 

Turned out pretty well, have to admit, just hoping for a WIFI fix to appear.

Cheers. 

hahaha I just use Google translate

Hi @Surfinchina I've been doing the installation without errors in just half an hour, with all the kexts and patches, and there's been no stuttering at all with NootRX.kext. But WEG is still more powerful, and for booting into Tahoe beta 2, it’s even stronger. However, it freezes during installation, so I’m using the new kext. It seems promising.

Yeah I'll stick with nootRX until there's a WEG update I reckon. Still, EFI seems good for sequoia and Tahoe both atm, I ended up doing a fresh install on another partition and then migrating my data - only took 10 minutes on a clean install and 1/2 hour for the migration. It's working right now but I'm not trusting it after days of freezes, sometimes hours after the install lol. I suspect it's one of my programs because I got a lot running in the background. NAS, sound and audio apps, HWCmonitor etc. After a decade you sort of get buildup... Could even be something simple like Chrome. Anyway, fingers crossed and wait for updates.

 

The audio seems better than Sequoia, AppleALC worked out of the box for me.

To be honest Sequoia was fine but for some reason we're driven to try new stuff out lol.

[Max.1974]

@Surfinchina When in fact we started fine-tuning a Sequoia with the best of everything, we ended up creating chirping noises for our ears and itching for our skin, didn’t we? Everyone in middle age and up starts out like this. Despite the hard and tiring work, I still prefer the exhaustion of perfecting my favorite hobby: Hackintosh! As a German once said on the Hackintosh-forum.de, ‘Hackintosh is like a garden — there’s always something to fix every day.’ Hahahaha

Hackintosh ist wie ein Garten – jeden Tag gibt es etwas zu reparieren.

That must be the appeal. Is "Appeal" the right word? 😂

Hackintosh é como um jardim - todos os dias há algo para consertar.

Esse deve ser o apelo. "Apelo" é a palavra certa?😂

@estranho Thanks my brother, appreciate that! 😄

Well,I just registered an account and come here to answer a few questions. I'm the developer of OCLP-Mod. This project is merely a personal hobby and there is no team or source of benefit. OCLP-Mod does not load any content that is harmful to the computer either. All source codes are released on Github, and all binary files are built with Github Actions. I'm trying to fix Nvidia Kepler to make them work properly on macOS. Also, I am pessimistic about the Wi-Fi patch. On macOS Tahoe, libSystem.B within dyld has been modified, and many old version functions have been removed, preventing Sequoia's previous Frameworks and libexec from loading (such as WiFiPeer-to-peer). This is very bad news. This probably means that BCM network cards will no longer be allowed to be connected to AWDL, but will be similar to Airportitlwm or itlwm+heliport. I will follow up on this project after school and during the holidays. Thank you all for your support and trust. Note: Currently, OCLP-Mod only supports the HDA patch on macOS Tahoe and does not support patches such as Wi-Fi.

@laobamac_yyds I have itlwm + heliport running in Tahoe beta 2, relying on the kext and app being used in Sequoia and I was considering to install again the BCM card I have but after reading your post, I would wait a bit more to see if the devs find a fix or conclude no fix is possible.

Hi, I tryed to make things working like in Sequoia, and Audio is 100% working with AppleALC.kext + OCLP (Chinese version) 2.6.5 with AppleHDA patch.

 

Since I applied the patch everything is working like a charm...

 

The only thing is not working is my BCM4360... Only Bluetooth works OOB.

 

But I use Ethernet here, so is not so important.

 

Now officially working:

 

Audio (AppleALC.kext in OC)

HDMI Audio

Bluetooth (BlueToolFixup.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext OC)

Graphics (AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB) as Metal 3 => Need to disable device properties (not inject anything related to graphics card and hdmi audio)

Ethernet (Realtek RTL8111 kext in OC)

Hibernation (HibernationFixup.kext OC)

NVME (NVMEFix.kext OC)

 

Thats all folks.

 

Regards,

Fernando.

 

Ps: My Motherboard RIP yesterday so I exchange it with an ASUS Prime H510M-K R2.0 LGA 1200, is inferior to my GigaByte B560M-H that has 2 M.2 NVME Slot´s... But Is more easy to overclock with this motherboard.

Just made some changes in OC and everything is working like a charm...

Hi Fernando

May I ask what version of RealtekRTL8111.kext you are using as I have been using V2.3.0d5 for a long time without any issues. Thank you.

Well,the SimpleRTL8126 is in developing now,it can only init device but can't get correct IP address.I will continue that project when OCLP-Mod for Tahoe  released.

Time to start surgery. I got a potential buyer for my Asus Z890 ProArt and just picked up the Gigabyte Z890 Top AI. Time to transplant and hope macOS works especially Tahoe. Wish me luck, time to go under

Can someone please check my EFI? It's a maldon one (thanks for the work!!!) Tahoe installed on the Z690, ethernet and sound ok, no bluetooth or wifi yet - wifi because no OCLP, bluetooth dunno yet lol. Bios is just defaults with v-td enabled, although I tried it both ways.

The issue is that it freezes. First time was good for a few hours and shutdown normally. After that it lasts in Tahoe (beta 2) for a second to a few minutes before it hangs.

Could be software because I installed it from a Sequoia copy and it's loaded with my stuff. I've also tried weg (using nootrx atm), turned off usbinject all - I use the tahoe usbinjectall. Done nvram resets and the usual stuff. All the kexts and opencore up to date.

I'm randomly playing with quirks now because I'm old and useless, but stubborn - would appreciate some help!

Thanks for the work guys 😊

It was working lol. Froze after a few minutes. It's got me stumped! I've done a proper USB map since then and fixed some things, threw out some kexts and generally pruned it down but still no go.

Estava funcionando, rindo muito. Congelou depois de alguns minutos. Isso me deixou perplexo! Eu fiz um mapa USB adequado desde então e consertei algumas coisas, joguei fora alguns kexts e geralmente o podei, mas ainda não vou.

Are you got installer screen ? I think your USB have unnecessary patches just use XHC or XHCI and nothing more. Your SMBIOS at the end, use your working kext UsbMap or USBPorts and fix with USBMap from CorpNewT 

 

 

Use USBMapInjectorEdit.command and inject U and then C and L if you need - Rename your SMBIOS just for XHCI or XHC, save and boot 

 

Limited at 15 ports

Try disabling DisableIoMapper in Kernel -> Quirks, on my Z690 rig when I enable DisableIoMapper it shows the same behavior.
