macOS Big Sur - SUCCESS

After a couple days of tinkering and having to get a cheap GPU, I finally got a Hackintosh that is stable enough to use as my daily machine!

Acer Aspire TC-885

Specs:

Intel Core i3-9100

Intel UHD 630 (works, but with no acceleration)

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (works completely!)

What Works:

Graphical acceleration

Sleep

iMessage, etc.

Realtek Gigabit Ethernet

USB ports

What Doesn't Work:

WiFi

Bluetooth

Audio out

Process:

I followed Dortania's guide almost verbatim.

I added this under DeviceProperties in my config.plist to sucessfully work with my GPU:

<key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key>
<dict>
<key>APPL,ig-platform-id</key>
<data>AwCRPg==</data>

And these were my BootArgs under NVRAM:

<string>-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1 nvda_drv=1</string>

That's it. Other than those two modifications, I followed Dortania's guide to a tee, and couldn't be more happy with my build!

Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions!
