Understood! can you add a splash to your mod boot loader, you can pause to indicate the BOOT loader type of the system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n.d.k Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Ok, I am done with making changes. As of now, all the changes are tested and worked the way they should. I will not invest any more time in it, only maintain the fork to keep it update with changes from OC from now on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping you'd have more new features. You're a very thoughtful developer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can manually add custom boot entry for Windows. DevicePath required for custom entry can be found in OC Debug log or Clover boot log. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cass67 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Maybe a stupid question but ill ask it anyway ..

n.d.k Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 @galisrule Can you boot your Window with Clover? That screen shot doesn't help, it only tell me OC loaded the file and failed to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a shame. You are doing a really briliant job. I hope to reconsider and keep on. There are still changes to be done , like option to select from a list of config.plists and the ability to block a kext from loading, for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew2019 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Hi NDK It is great to see some changes to the way the open core works..a few questions, 1) Can you please give a step by step instruction to how to compile your fork as I am getting errors(I am able to download precompiled version through kext updater tool). the issue I am also facing is the screen brightness. Mine is Full HD screen and I have two but on both this colour seems dull. otherwise can you keep white as default colour? 2) Is there a way to avoid boot picker menu like in clover? where the system boots directly to macOS 3) is it possible to add GUI based boot menu like bootcamp version or any skin rather than MS DOS mode? Thank you, Edited January 26, 2020 by mathew2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talebabatto Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) First of all thank you for this fork because now I can boot both windows and macOS with OpenCore without ACPI patching issues. I have two issues: the first is related to the contrast and brightness of the menu but I've already found how to fix this in the previous posts. The second issue is that I don't see every boot options I had in OpenCore I just see Windows 10, Linux, Mac. I can't see reset NVRAM and other .efi tools that there are in my Tools folder. Thank you. EDIT: forgot to say that I set AllowNvramReset to True in config.plist but nothing changed Edited January 28, 2020 by talebabatto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
