Yes, I should be more clear about this: by not supported I didn't mean it doesn't boot.

The mentioned site above has some list of issues about AMD.

strange talk this, certainly an AMD ZEN2 build has no problems higher than one with Z390 and the much touted gigabytes that I consider one of the worst hardware brands

I think this refers only to cpu, not cpu+motherboard, but I agree with you.

[gorans]

I choose not to go with the AMD because of this:
https://dortania.github.io/Anti-Hackintosh-Buyers-Guide/CPU.html

Lot's of problems listed there and I don't want to experiment.

Well, as @Pavo said, this is simply untrue. Infact, at the current time OpenCore is the only recommended way to boot AMD. What Acidanthera and Dortania understand by support is validation.

May I ask if @ dortania's site is validated from Opencore devs from which bios (more than bios maybe Agesa version I think) and OpenCore is it possible to have a TRX40 working now?

I am asking because I have read this on Dortania guide.

Thank you

@fabiosun Acidanthera does not support AMD, period, no matter the generation.

I know and my question was related to this your statement here :

Yes, AMD OS X people recommend OpenCore. Acidanthera does not support AMD nevertheless. What is the question?

[Guest]

the question is about the statement (wrong) that Trx40 works with opencore for a new BIOS

I have had tested with the same bios we tested before (if you remember) and with OpenCOre 0.61 available now.

So changement in my case is (thank for this) due to OpenCore improvement 

No polemics

the question is, why do you commit to hardware from 10 years ago and beyond to be able to start old versions of macOS, where it would be enough to chameleon-enoch-clover, and not instead recent AMD hardware?
I understand that apple has never used amd, but it has never even used certain intel hardware with which so many assemble hacks.

[maclinuxG4]

for AMD, the effort is more important, for use as possible same services and runetime.

unless rebuild_cache aren 't modifiable, so more works is necessarie

Hi, I would like to rename one of my Windows 10 drives as it appears in open picker. I was using the method detailed HERE adding the .contentDetails file with the name I want. I have Misc/Boot/PickerMode: External and Misc/Boot/PickerAttributes: 1 and I'm using 0.6.1, here is the file on the Windows Drive I want to rename:

 

 

I've attached my config.plist, very grateful if anyone can help. This method was working for me previously but I reverted back to Clover from OC 0.5.8, now returned to OC 0.6.1 perhaps this method doesn't work anymore?

Yup, forgot that. Changed the file name but still not working

 

[vit9696]

It is in Microsoft folder for newer OpenCore versions due to bootmgfw.efi being used to boot Windows nowadays.

[mhaeuser]

@iCanaro Simple, Chameleon/Clover do not exist for Acidanthera and nobody there buys hardware that works like broken garbage and needs random kernel madness.

Thanks, I placed .contentDetails in Microsoft/Boot and it is working as before

Help, after the new version the video card sees 4m.

[naiclub]

After that I used DSDT.aml self-created, but the sound is missing.

After that, I used the custom built DSDT.aml, but it turned out that the sound was gone.

Anyone who has experience, please advise.Anyone who has experience, please advise.

[mention]naiclub [/mention] next time edit your post instead of double posting.

Also it will help to post your files for someone to look at.

No sound and gpu showing 4mb.

Are you using latest Lilu, AppleALC and Whatevergreen?

Using correct framebuffer?

Is your graphics supported on big sur?

What audio codec?

What layouts have you tried?

Sanity checked your config?

This section I took from olarila.com and I don't know if it is a new version or not.

As you mentioned above, I did nothing but DSDT.aml.

@Andrey1970 i put it .VolumeIcon.icns into root volume for custom macOS Installer but didn't show macOS Installer Icon in GUI 

 

such like this

 

 

I was having this problem and found a document stating this:

 

"

Current OpenCore values include:

• 0x0001 — OC_ATTR_USE_VOLUME_ICON, provides custom icons for boot entries:

  For Tools OpenCore will try to load a custom icon and fallback to the default icon:

  • ResetNVRAM — Resources\Image\ResetNVRAM.icns — ResetNVRAM.icns from icons directory.
  • Tools\<TOOL_RELATIVE_PATH>.icns — icon near the tool file with appended .icns extension.

  For custom boot Entries OpenCore will try to load a custom icon and fallback to the volume icon or the default icon:

  • <ENTRY_PATH>.icns — icon near the entry file with appended .icns extension.

  For all other entries OpenCore will try to load a volume icon and fallback to the default icon:

  • .VolumeIcon.icns file at Preboot root for APFS.
  • .VolumeIcon.icns file at volume root for other filesystems.

  Volume icons can be set in Finder. Note, that enabling this may result in external and internal icons to be indistinguishable.

• 0x0002 — OC_ATTR_USE_DISK_LABEL_FILE, provides custom rendered titles for boot entries:
  • .disk_label (.disk_label_2x) file near bootloader for all filesystems.
  • <TOOL_NAME>.lbl (<TOOL_NAME>.l2x) file near tool for Tools.

  Prerendered labels can be generated via disklabel utility or bless command. When disabled or missing text labels (.contentDetails or .disk_label.contentDetails) are to be rendered instead.

• 0x0004 — OC_ATTR_USE_GENERIC_LABEL_IMAGE, provides predefined label images for boot entries without custom entries. May give less detail for the actual boot entry.
• 0x0008 — OC_ATTR_USE_ALTERNATE_ICONS, changes used icon set to an alternate one if it is supported. For example, this could make a use of old-style icons with a custom background colour."

So if you put them in the Preboot volume then all works fine.

 

See details at https://dortania.github.io/docs/release/Configuration.html#x1-43008x4     -> PickerAttributes section

macOS High Sierra oc does not work (requires CLOVERBOOTV.5094. ) Latest V.5122 does not work. And it works with mojave with Catalina- big_sur does not work

[wern apfel]

I have an IvyBridge Laptop here that works with OC 0.5.9 but not with release 0.6.1. It stops after Watchdog, so the picker does not start. If anyone has an idea what it could be, please give me a hint. See also the log. Thanks.

The HfsPlus.efi prevents this Laptop from booting. @Acidanthera team, is there a solution? It is the one from the OcBinaryData.
