OpenCore General Discussion

an editable GUI makes sense

[MacPato]

OpenCore is working 100% for me for both Mojave 10.14 and Sierra 10.12 on both my systems  , and to add a GUI isn't an idea that i would like to see, it performs very well and as stated in a previous post it's modular and properly structured, adding a GUI frontend would just make this a rebranding of clover which this isn't.  Configuration for Opencore is easy enough once you get your head round the documentation which this is updated daily with new information, However i know these guys are working at better file logging for debugging purposes, and Certain NVMe Boot Structures need fixing, but this all takes time. Other then that i'm super happy with the way this project is progressing. It's best to remember this is only an early dev version and people need to stay patient and give thanks to the incredible people including @vit9696  for quick bug tracking responses and working so hard to make this a great alternative for the community. The Performance of my systems are amazing compared to clover.

Yeah, not even close to a rebranding of clover. Clover is monolithic, and a bunch of old projects (~2011) stitched together and made to work in UEFI. There should be a huge difference in performance in everything. Also, did you notice the part where I said because it is modular the GUI would not be a requirement? Some people want their machine to behave exactly like a mac would which means the ability for a GUI boot selector.

 

EDIT: Also maybe some people just have an easier time with GUIs, it would make sense because why bother having a GUI and not just go back to DOS or UNIX?

Hi  @vit9696 and all devs
is it possible that OC bootloader apply ACPI/patch also when I start my windows disk with bootcamp windows selection on OC bootmenu? I have an ACPI table error during windows booting if apply patch you can see attached here:

 

Also others patch seems to "interact" with windows...

Any plans for this to run on bios using UEFI emulation? Like the clover legacy boot mechanism.

Is anyone here using OpenCore with a Filevault2 enctrypted drive and a 4K monitor? I've been trying to get the right resolution for the UI login screen but so far have only managed to get a very low resolution or 3840x2160. I'm after a resolution of 1920x1080. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried setting 4D1EDE05-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B38C14:UIScale to 2?

Anyone booting OC on a laptop with I2C device?

 

I cant get the touchpad to work in OC. I have no issues with other kexts (or getting the touchpad to function in clover), tho.

 

Can anyone take a look where I might have missed? Thanks.

Sorry if wrong thread to ask...

 

but was wondering if something changed since yesterday, into AppleSupportPkg and  AptioFixPkg?

 

As per today build is not working anymore both complain about miissing a lib into directory...  and till tonight it still worked... my last test build had no such problem..

[mhaeuser]

Those issues have been fixed a couple of minutes ago.

[LAbyOne]

just noticed in fact

Thanks

hey all, this is a cool project. i'm trying to get it working on QEMU but so far, no dice.

 

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here??? I tried setting the resolution to text 80x24, and Max but that doesn't help anything.

Enable the "ProvideConsoleControl" quirk or embed a driver that properly exposes that protocol into the QEMU image

Ah great that fixed that and now i'm booted.
By the way if others read this for QEMU you need to use the proper apfs.efi.  The other one "loader" from SupportPackage never worked here on my setup, just random reboots.

Do you think you could debug this? There is no (sane) reason it should not work in QEMU

erf, maybe, i probably don't see the point if apfs.efi works.  but i can tell you that it loads an image (which one? I don't know. I'm not even sure what this loader does) into memory and then after that it fails somehow.

Try moving VoodooGPIO and VoodooI2CServices above in config.plist so they load firstly, then add VoodooI2C and lastly VoodooI2CHID.

 

Same problem is with ApplePS2SmartTouchpad. Firstly I load it's plug-ins, then the kext actually.

There is many users with Gigabyte Boards especially the Z390 with NVRAM issues, also with Shutdown and Restarting glitches is there any plans to have a emulated NVRAM for OC to resolve this issue, Also when setting PlatformNVRAM to Auto, when running geekbench it displays the motherboard as a MacbookPro 15,2, i know this can be fixed by adding SMBIOS to the config and changing the Board Version String. but when this is done on the Z390 it won't boot due to NVRAM issues.
