Hells bells Misc->Entries->Item 0->Hidden will be replaced with Misc->Entries->Item 0->Auxiliary. So update your config.plist to reflect the change 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btwise Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) @n.d.k Can you add the function of getting GetEfiBootDevice in your fork, similar to the function implemented by nvram.c in clover, add it to the regular log！ Edited February 16, 2020 by btwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matgen84 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi @n.d.k I've already the same issue to compile local repo up to date Despite of: git pull ./ndk-macbuild.tool The files in X64 folder are keeping the previous compile date. So I'm not sure if is the right version How to do! Fork of Clover's BadruZeus's Clover Theme with my two new icons (func reset nvram and tool shell), Aorus logo on background ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpla Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Could you share your icons etc Matgen84? Cheers Looks like the square icons are less distorted, i found it best to unzip the opencoreblahblah.zip in the binaries folder otherwise i was also getting out of date binaries on the x64 folder.

Icons in attachement Take a look at my square icons. Problem: the opencoreblahblah.zip is also out of date, not only binaries on the x64 folder. Any ideas!

Ellybz Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) What I'd actually love to see are these 2 things: 1- Verbose boot option: Selecting the entry on the picker and hitting "V" or a function key to load that entry with verbose. (Instead of the enter key) That PollAppleHotKeys is still a hit or miss 2- Dual boot Configuration option. If You only have 1 startup Disk and your config.plist gets corrupted, you can fall back on a backpconfig.plist or by starting it pressing a function key ( F2 ?) before the Picker shows. Not sure if these are unrealistic or difficult to achieve. What do you think? Edited February 16, 2020 by Ellybz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly right!Write it to a log or use a shortcut key to extract it!This features is very useful! There is also the ability to extract the original ACPI table, which is necessary!

Yes, this is another useful feature, in the GUI menu can be free to choose a different config file for debugging the system is very helpful, this is clover existing features, hope ndk can join the fork OC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is not about them, don't get me wrong. My system on your version of OC is secure and stable and I'm just fine with it the way it is. Thank you for all your hard work! NDK does a great job, but if we didn't have the "others" from original OC thread, we wouldn't have OpenCore at all.

btwise Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) @n.d.k Use a custom png picture as the background of the icon to select the movement, the effect is better! Edited February 17, 2020 by btwise 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the average user, how convenient to get their own boot device path information? Edited February 17, 2020 by btwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
