After many attempts and failed boots, I've done it! I've finally gotten macOS Monterey 12.1 beta 1 to run on my Sandy Bridge Hackintosh with hardware acceleration + video memory patch.

Stuff used:
For the base, I found an old post here about someone else having issues that put an EFI on GitHub. I was able to use their existing work to build off of as I made my own.
Graphics acceleration, RDRAND, Library validation, and FileVault 2 patches are courtesy of the Dortania team and their work with the OpenCore Legacy Patcher, a tool designed for running newer macOS on older Macs.
If you want to see the work I've done/have a place to start, I put my EFI on GitHub :)
