btwise Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 @ndk Connect two or more monitors at the same time. The GUI interface of opencore and ndkbootpicker cannot be displayed on multiple monitors at the same time. Can it be modified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milouk Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hello, i have three questions. 1) How can i change the date? 2) How can i change windows --> Windows 10 icon? ( i have a custom windows 10 entry disabled, should i enable it?) 3) I noticed that since NdkOpenCore 0.5.6 there is a big delay from my mobos splash screen to enter OpenCore. Also from the moment i boot into OC i need to wait 3-4 sec before my keyboard / mouse become usable. (Same happend with recovery it needs a lot of time to boot) is this something wrong on my end or is it a known thing? Cheers and thanks for this fork. Terrific work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Same happend with recovery it needs a lot of time to boot) is this something wrong on my end or is it a known thing? Cheers and thanks for this fork. Terrific work 1) Use bios to change date/time 2) Window Entry name need to have the keyword "10" 3) Delay is more noticeable with old hardware due to the high quality/resolutions icons/images was used since 0.5.6. It takes longer time to load a bigger file size than small one. With current hardware, the delay is pretty invisible but it's still there. Here' some tips for reducing the delay: - Use more plain background.png (same size background.png can range from 2Mb to 15Mb depend of the number of colors it has on it) - Resize all os_*.icns from 256px to 128px if not using 4k screen. - Turn off show picker, and use Hotkey Option to bring up the boot picker when needed, switching between OSes can be easily done with hotkeys as well if using the fork.

So when I try to compile with the terminal in the the directory I get a find: ./usr/sbin/authserver: Permission denied; also when you compile with the ndk-macbuild.tool the one in the folder you are compiling from an external source not from the folder with the modified ndk-bootpicker.c Am I correct?

Thanks a lot for your reply, now that you mention it yeah the last time it booted quickly was with a very simple UI you had. Though i wouldn't say i got old hardware. I have a B450 Mortar Max Mobo , Ryzen 7 2700, 16 GB Ram DDR4 @3200 and RX 460. Anyway thanks again for your reply UPDATE: Apparently the audio stuff made it slower. Now that is disabled the chime and the picker audio support its a bit faster Edited April 11, 2020 by milouk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacNB Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 @Blu24, When you use the boot picker, there's is NO autoboot (certainly not on the official OC). Think about it, "It's a feature". When using External boot picker AND you set Show Picker =True, THEN the timeout value has NO FUNCTION. The boot picker will sit there waiting for you to select the drive you wish to boot. That behaves just like a real Mac. IMHO this is correct behaviour. My system always auto boots my desired default OS. What I do is set the Show Picker = FALSE because I do NOT want to see the boot picker EVERYTIME I boot (I see no point in that). I only want to see the boot picker when on a rare occasion when I want to boot a DIFFERENT OS in that case, I hold the OPT/Alt key on the keyboard (Apple magic keyboard) while booting and OC displays the boot picker (or, use the ESC key). You CAN autoboot the DEFAULT OS (read the configuration manual to find out how to do that; HINT: Startup disk preferences). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
