Now that I have an iMac11,3 I see a few  optimizations for the Kernel/Add section of this config ;)

 

Any Dortania guys in here?

 

I have one iMac 11,3 also, from a week. I already order some upgrades. It is a very nice machine.

I  want to boot Snow Leopard using newer Hardware,

OpenCore Does boot but it gets stuck on loading drivers.

Any Ideas Anyone.

What graphics card do you have compatible with Snow Leopard on newer hardware?

I'm afraid it's not compatible. I'm thinking maybe I need to find an older graphics card that supports it? For example, HD3870-4670 or follow this link https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/24947/ It is not possible to use a newer graphics card recognized by the OS. Or it might be possible to make your own special Kexts accordingly.

It is purely my personal opinion.

YOu definitely need a GPU from the SL era. Something like this: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/14612/list-of-graphics-cards-supported-by-snow-leopard-10-6-x-but-not-opencl-capable

Some of them are embedded (X3100) and some of them are AGP cards so can't be used on modern hardware.

I think Nvidia 7300 or 7600 is real to use. They work up to 10.7 Lion not more.

@STLVNUB PCI Cards I have from around 2009/10 are:

  • NVIDIA GTS 250
  • Radeon HD 5450 (my iMac11,3 has a Radeon HD 5670 and I think I could install SL on it). The 2009 iMac definitely runs on SL and uses a Radeon HD 4850 You can get the Radeon Cards pretty cheap on ebay.

I ran Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, everything from 10.4 to 13.2 on a MacPro3,1 with GTX680 Mac Edition (UGA EFI driver). No acceleration until 10.7 or 10.8, but earlier Mac OS X versions can use the EFI framebuffer just fine. I don't know how well that works on a Hackintosh. Does it need UGA instead of GOP EFI driver? Does it need some Apple EFI protocol? I suppose that stuff can be added by OpenCore.

Kepler will work with full acceleration since 10.7.5 up to 12.0beta6.

VESA mode is probably possible in all systems.

Yes, if VESA mode doesn't work well, the screen will be very slow.

Is there another entry in addition to "PlatformInfo > Generic > SystemProductName" in Open Core's config.plist that defines the Mac Model name?  I ask, because when I run Open Core Legacy Patcher, it detects my hack as "Latitude E6410" even though my SystemProductName is defined as "MacBookPro6,2" in OC's config.plist.

 

If possible, I'd like to be able to configure something in my OC config.plist that makes OCLP detect the Mac Model name and not my laptop's actual model name.

 

I'm looking through OCLP source code now to figure this out, but if someone knows already, it would be a big time saver.  Thank you.

 

I executed the following commands in terminal and don't see why OCLP wouldn't detect my Mac Model:

  

ioreg -lp IOService | grep model   
    |   "model" = <"MacBookPro6,2">
ioreg -lp IOService | grep board-id
    |   "board-id" = <"Mac-F22586C8">

Hi All

 

For my SSDT-USB-MAP, I need help to convert Droptables (Clover) to Opencore. I read configurations.pdf but I don't understand how.

  

<key>DropTables</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                    <key>Signature</key>
                    <string>DMAR</string>
                </dict>
                <dict>
				<key>Signature</key>
				<string>MATS</string>
				</dict>
				<dict>
				<key>Length</key>
				<integer>11547</integer>
				<key>Signature</key>
				<string>SSDT</string>
				</dict>
            </array>

Perhaps, CustomSampleConfig.plist can help you. There is a SMBIOS section.

There is also Serial Number which contains model code.

But probably OCLP looks in SMBIOS instead of IOReg.

@Matgen84

OpenCore does it in this way (thanks @cankiulascmnfye )

 

https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/tree/main/00_ACPI/ACPI_Dropping_Tables#dropping-acpi-tables

 

Im use two methods. It's better in Windows, but have to macOs too. 

 

XiaSL that fix red errors when compile your DSDT, and extract all tables too, and SSDTTime to drop ACPI tables for Opencore.

 

Nice user on Git Hub. Im fix my USB RHUB with his tutorial. Is the best for me.
