OpenCore 0.9.7: HfsPlusLegacy.efi Loading Issue - Seeking Assistance

Struggling with a persistent error during my laptop's hackintosh setup: OC: Driver HfsPlusLegacy.efi at 0 cannot be loaded - Not started!Tried various solutions from GitHub threads and alternative repos with no success.

System Specs:

  • CPU: i3-370M
  • Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
  • Laptop: Acer TravelMate 5740
  • BIOS: Modded (Legacy only, no UEFI)
  • Features: No secure boot, no TPM, disabled Intel VT-d, disabled BIOS CPU turbo, most Intel security features don't seem to exist.

Attempts so far:

  1. Replacing HfsPlusLegacy.efi file with different sources or versions
  2. Setting flag to load early in config.plist
  3. Trying VBoxHfs, HfsPlus, OpenHfsPlus.

Facing challenges like HFS file systems being labeled "Corrupted" after using OpenHfsPlus. Exhausted and seeking guidance from experienced users. Any help appreciated!

Bonus info: With OpenHfsPlus it does boot into the online recovery medium but it still can't read HFS file systems and since I have no networking on the online recovery installer I also can't proceed and once I did get it to install by plugging in a USB drive with the offline media and then installing that through the terminal upon reboot I can't boot the local OS cuz of corrupted volume which I assume is OpenHfsPlus' fault.
