MacOS Sonoma working on Haswell with dGPU. Used Mac Pro 2017 SMBIOS. All USB Ports (2.0 and 3.0) working, Audio works, WIFI and Bluetooth Works. Feels relatively snappy despite the roughly 10 year old CPU and basic GPU. Dont seem to have any problems with DRM. Used the opencore guide along with some assistance from OCAT.

Got it dual booting with Windows 11 from within Opencore too which works well.

Only issue is that so far Sonoma 14.1 update isnt showing despite running the terminal command to force the updates to refresh.
