AudioGod Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I Just upgraded to Catalina and it was flawless. Everything is working perfectly just make sure you don’t have any 32bit apps installed as they will no longer work. @gino8080 go for it buddy. It’s a perfect upgrade Edited October 7, 2019 by AudioGod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t harm to update all your kexts and clover beforehand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larabee Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Use the original EFI , it works just fine for catalina. It's a perfect update. Confirmed working just as well as a real mac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I go directly through AppStore , download and then install right? Maybe can usefull for someone, to check for any 32bit app installed, go to System preferences / Software / Applications and order by the column 64bit every columns says NO is an old 32 bit app (for now I just found old setups, keygens, and Adobe {censored} ) (this is NOT my system preferences image) Edited October 8, 2019 by gino8080 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panosru Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I wanted to update today, but there are 3 apps that I certainly need, and I guess I will have to wait for them to release 64bit version. The one is MathType, and I need it for writing math equations, the other is EPSON's software for my printer and the other is for USB-AC68 WiFi adapter that I have :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to wait a month or so while some software vendors get their apps Catalina-ready before I can upgrade. It's good to know that our EFIs are working perfectly though!

panosru Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 @hackinbot yeap, I said I would too, but I did not :/ I was impatient I have my MacBook Pro on MacOS 10.13.6, so I will do my equations there. Epson updated its drivers, and for the USB-AC68, I just use Ethernet so I'm good The update was great, I left my computer unattended to cook me dinner and after I returned Catalina was waiting for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panosru Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) It seems that this is no longer available in Catalina; thus you have to rely on a 3rd party application to be able to share files with your older Mac...

AudioGod Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hello All, I hope your all enjoying the new update of Catalina? ive been sniffing around online and I’ve noticed that a lot of people out there are having bare troubles updating too 10.15. That makes me feel good in a evil Kind of way as it shows how solid my EFI actually is, I didn’t even have to make a updated EFI folder for catalina as the original one is working so perfectly. Now I’m just waiting for the day the 5700xt gets supported and I’m slapping that baby in my system...lol Enjoy my friends and happy hacking @larabee you good buddy? @MaLd0n you are awesome dude, 100% pure genius.....Respect Edited October 9, 2019 by AudioGod 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the new Final Cut Pro updates and everything is so much faster than before. Watch some Apple TV and everything works smoothly so far with only one problem: Sidecar with Radeon VII. I have black screen with sidecar. I unplug all of my graphic card and use HD630 then it works with SMBIOS iMac. On my iMac Pro, it gives me black screen. Properly because of HEVC encoding not working properly? @MaLd0n, do you have any idea why Sidecar is not working on mine? @ilcondannato I use the same thing as you do. Love Capture One on my Sony A7III raw file. Have you updated to the latest final cut pro? That helps me save a lot of time because it's much faster.

I've been try Lr...DxO...Aperture...and many many more...but, for my photo style (wedding ph and aerial with drone), I think C1 is the best! :-D ....

Yep, seems your EFI is spot on .. I had a decent EFI in place for a while with a single fault of a hang needing a reboot randomly. could be days between them ... yours seems to have fixed that .. Its been perfect for weeks. Upgrading to Catalina was seamless and problem free ... updated the kexts i use and hit the update button .. 30 mins later im typing this from 10.15.. Good work .. thanks for the effort ... appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read elsewhere that sidecar is not working on hackintoshes running imacpro SMBIOS (probably because of lack of T2 chip). The iMac19,1 doesn't have a T2, so sidecar seems to work with that SMBIOS. iMac19,1 is probably a closer fit to our hardware setup, but I think we moved over to iMacPro to get away from OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi. I would probably prefer to be on iMac19,1 if we could get it work reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black screen on the iPad You will need to use anything other than mac that has T2 chips (imac pro and the new Cheese grater Mac Pro). Apple will look for that chip to do encoding. I heard the xeon in Apple iMac Pro can do the encoding in its core too. That's why we have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wonder if @MaLd0n knows of a fix for Sidecar other then using something like SMBios iMac 19.1 cos it’s kinda useful for me while editing audio or VSTi.@MaLd0n Any Thoughts buddy?
