I haven't seen any G570 how-to's, mainly because the system is 8 years old. Still perfectly usable though.
Steps:
- update to the latest bios (40cn33ww)
- install Clover for legacy
- use dosdude's tool to patch the Mojave installation. Patch the OS volume post install for MBP 8,1
- use the standard HD 3000 .plist as a reference point to create a working config. Patch framebuffer and audio using hackintool
- L1C LAN working with AtherosL1cEthernetSierra.kext
- Wireless working with AirPortAtheros40.kext and IO80211Family.kext
- Backlight working with IntelBacklight.kext and ACPI patching
- Battery status working with ACPIBatteryManager.kext and heavy ACPI patching
- Sound working with VoodooHDA.kext (obscure Conexant CX20590 codec, couldn't get it to work any other way)
Overall, touchpad gestures aside, everything seems to be working. Report back with any questions or send me a PM if stuck and I'll walk you through any issues you may have.
