Hey everyone, I'm trying to make my first Hackintosh. I recently bought a cheap Dell OptiPlex 7050 for around 35 USD and I'm trying to turn it into a Monterey Hackintosh. Unfortunately, not all of the recommended BIOS settings are readily available in the BIOS. In its current state, when I try to boot into the USB, the screen no longer detects an input and goes to sleep after the verbose. After doing some research and reading some guides, I am assuming it is due to my BIOS Settings.
I first found this guide of someone with a similar model, and the BIOS settings they changed; however due to the different form factor I was concerned that changing the same offset values might be a bit risky (please correct me if I'm wrong). I then found the Dreamwhite and u/Truth_Moab's guides on how to find and change the hidden BIOS options.
Initially, it was going well. I successfully extracted the BIOS payload. But upon reaching the step where I had to use IFRExtractor, I encountered "No IFR Data Found". That is why I am now making this post. I don't really know what to do going forward or if I have made any mistakes. It's my first time trying to turn my computer into a Hackintosh so all help is appreciated. Thanks!
config.plist and debug results (I will change the SMBIOS info after this)
