How I fix Maxwell Nvidia Drivers in Big sur? Any Idea?

After waking up the laptop from sleep when playing songs the audio will be fine after a few mins after all of a sudden there will be no audio then if I want the audio back I will have to open the sound setting and go to the mic in System Pref

I'm on Monterey oc and Kexts all the latest stable version

Specs - CPU - i3 - 10th Gen (1005G1)

AUDIO CODEC - ALC256

I tried downloading OC 0.8.2 and got stuck with that, so I thought it was because the Dortaina guide is for 0.7.8. I follow it, and now I'm getting stuck with [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] and nothing in the guide appears to be helping. I'm on an i5-8400, ASUS H310ME-R2.0 with 24 GB DDR4 and an 8 gb RX 580

Hi. I have been using opencore 0.7.4 with big sur with no issues at all.

Last week I've decided to upgrade both my OC and MacOS. Gathered the new kexts, set my config.plist file and installed Monterey smoothly. It works flawlessly but with one problem. Write and read rates on my usb external drives are very slow. It does not matter whether if it is an ssd or a mechanical disk.

I've just used the exact acpi folder that I use with big sur. What could it be wrong? Here is my OC folder: [Screen-Shot-2022-06-20-at-16-28-22.png](https://postimg.cc/v42LPBvz)

Welp I'm back here again. Recently, I updated to MacOS developer beta 13 and I've might've bricked MacOS (I'm not sure if I have)

When I boot into MacOS, it shows the verbose but right when the verbose is finished doing it's thing it doesn't send a signal to my HDMI monitor but then strangely restarts a couple seconds after. Can anyone explain? I have the video link below. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I successfully installed Monterey on my Asus FX553 laptop, almost everything works fine, I just gotta deal with a couple issues

​

The HDMI port on my laptop is not working. Built-in monitor works fine, but when i connect the second monitor to the HDMI nothing happens (it works fine on windows).

I already tried looking around on the guide and various threads online but nothing helped so far.

​

Then, I need help disabling the laptop's keyboard. It doesn't work because of an hardware issue and having it on only means risking accidental presses which would lead to random keys acting up and making the whole system go nuts till I reboot it.

On a Macbook, you'd normally use Karabiner Element for that, but the on board keyboard is technically recognized as an external device (ITE Device) as you can see in this screenshot so that didn't work.

​

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just installed macos on my laptop and wonder can i go back to windows if i need to and how do i? i am not sure that the windows 10-11 installer can read macos extended or apfs, help!

Or otherwise, which are some good performing graphics cards on a 200-250 dollar range that you would recommend?
I'm looking to make a small hackintosh with some spare parts and would like to keep it as low profile as possible, while also keeping Monterrey and future versions in mind.

Only info I can find about this is very old data, would appreciate newer info or other card recommendations.

So after setting up all drivers, ssdts and config.plist I cant boot. After selecting the 1. No Name option on the Opencore bootloader I get

Could not read \EFI: Invalid Parameter Error: could not find boot options: Invalid Parameter start_image() returned Invalid Parameter OCB: StartImage failed - Invavalid Parameter.

I was about to boot macos 12 Monterey. And in the config.plist I didnt see the option for Allownvramreset, it just wasnt there.

Any help is appreciated.

I did set HideAuxillary to true but no luck

A bit confused on the AMD GPU compatibility list for AMD Hackintosh using Opencore. I see reports of 6600, 6800, 6800 XT and 6900 XT, but those come up as Navi 21. Trying to retire my current GPU.

Specs atm for a working Big Sur Opencore build is:
R5 2600
32GB Corsair Aegis 3200CL16
AMD Ref 480 8GB ASUS
AS ROCK x370 Taichi
Seagate 750W PSU

I want to hackintosh can someone send me a tutorial or steps on how to do it

Out of curious, using a 32GB USB for only one OS installer is really wasteful, so here's a guide for you guys to make full use of it :)

Example in this guide:

• A 32GB USB
• 4 OS X/macOS installers (Mountain Lion, Yosemite, El Capitan and Mojave)
• Host machine is Mojave (Laptop Haswell i3 U chip)

How to get those installer?

• For ML, Yosemite, El Capitan you download them from this link with Safari
• For Mojave (and Catalina), use dosdude1 patcher to download the full .app file. The installer from App Store in my case only download a 14MB file.

Preparation

• Check your SMBIOS FIRST!!! For compatibility, or your machine will get error with the installer. In my case is an i3 4005U Haswell, there are 3 models: MacBookPro11,1 MacBookAir6,2 and MacBookAir6,1 If I choose MacBookPro11,1 I cannot extract Mountain Lion because it is not supported for that model (only Mavericks and above). So I have to change to either MacBookAir6,2 or 6,1
• Open Disk Utility -> Erase your USB in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) -> Create partitions with same size that is 8GB, so with a 32GB you'll have 4 partitions (Untitled 1, 2, 3 and 4)
• Extract the .dmg downloaded to get the installer .app file, place them in Desktop
• Rename the installer .app file based on their version. I rename them ML.app Yosemite.app ElCapitan.app and Mojave.app

Here's where I will install them OS X:

• Mountain Lion -> Untitled 1
• Yosemite -> Untitled 2
• El Capitan -> Untitled 3
• Mojave -> Untitled 4

Mountain Lion (Mavericks and below)

Right click on ML.app -> Show Package Contents -> Contents -> SharedSupport and you should see InstallESD.dmg copy and paste it to Desktop

Open Disk Utility -> Right click on Untitled 1 volume on the left -> Another panel appears saying Would you like to restore to “Untitled 1”? now click Image... and choose InstallESD.dmg from Desktop -> Restore. After that you have one

Yosemite, El Capitan and Mojave (Yosemite and above)

Run these commands in Terminal

sudo ~/Desktop/Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled \2 --applicationpath ~/Desktop/Yosemite.app --nointeraction sudo ~/Desktop/ElCapitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled \3 --applicationpath ~/Desktop/ElCapitan.app --nointeraction sudo ~/Desktop/Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled \4 --applicationpath ~/Desktop/Mojave.app --nointeraction 

At this point, your USB should have 4 volumes with different names. Open them to check the installed files.

Install OC

Open Terminal and mount your USB EFI, then copy your working OC to that EFI volume and that USB is ready!

Bonus

How about a multi-installer OS X and Windows? (Windows 8.1 and above)

• You need both OS X and Windows machine
• On Windows -> extract the .iso to a folder -> rename the folder to WIN -> install Partition Wizard -> format your desired volume in NTFS format
• On OS X -> install Paragon Microsoft NTFS -> open windows disk and copy everything INSIDE the WIN folder to the USB. You're done now!

NOTE: You should install Windows in the last volume of the USB

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

This software allows you to create a USB to boot ISO files placed on the first partition. The first partition can be ext4, ntfs, exfat, etc.

Requirements

Ventoy Mac OS to create USB install media WSL on Windows or Linux 

Here are the steps to place Mac OS installer Opencore on a USB drive along with Ventoy.

Install Ventoy to a USB

1) Partition Style -> GPT 2) Partition Configuration -> ✓ Preserve some space at the nd of the disk -> Minimum of 14GB 3) All other settings default 

Gather your EFI folder and open a linux terminal to the directory that contains it. Copy the script below into an sh file to that folder and run it. There are comments in the script to know what to when it opens a prompt asking questions

#!/bin/bash # # Ventoy EFI Image # folder="temp" if [ ! -d "${folder}" ]; then mkdir -p "${folder}/mnt" else rm -R "${folder}" mkdir -p "${folder}/mnt" fi cp -r EFI "${folder}" dd if=/dev/zero of="${folder}/EFI.img" bs=512 count=163750 gdisk "${folder}/EFI.img" # Use these commands, will whipe drive, create new partition to fill space, set partition type to ef00 (EFI system partition), then write changes # o - y - n - default - default - default - ef00 - w - y loop=1 while [ -f "/dev/loop${loop}" ]; do loop=$(("${loop}" + 1)) done sudo losetup --offset 1048576 --sizelimit 83822592 "/dev/loop${loop}" "${folder}/EFI.img" sudo mkdosfs -F 32 "/dev/loop${loop}" sudo mount "/dev/loop${loop}" "${folder}/mnt" sudo cp -r EFI "${folder}/mnt/" sudo umount "${folder}/mnt" sudo losetup -d "/dev/loop${loop}" cp "${folder}/EFI.img" EFI.img 

You will get a EFI.img file next to the EFI folder. This is the bootable img file to be placed into the ISO directory on the Ventoy USB first partition.

Boot into Mac OS and format the last partition on the USB drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do not have this partition formatted as NTFS before booting or disk utility will complain.

Open a terminal and run the command below (This is for Monterey, if you use something else just replace the .app folder with the correct one.

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/NEWLYCREATEDUSBPARTITION 

Reboot into Ventoy and select the EFI.img you placed and it should boot Opencore.

​

The espack plugin provided by Ventoy is broken or this would've been a better solution due to not hard setting the file size. Hours upon hours testing this software and it works 1 every 100th time. Couldn't figure it out, realized it's not worth it.

Well after lot of trial and error I get audio working on bigsur 11.6.7 but I noticed I can't control HDMI audio through AppleALC kext , Can AppleALC adjust HDMI volume.

Hello, I have a working Big Sur and looking to upgrade/ reinstall to latest version of 12.4 . If I have to format the drive no problem with that. But my question is, can I use the Big Sur EFI and use it to install the 12.4? I really want to do edits on the config.plist at this moment!
