Success - Acer Aspire 7 on Sonoma

Took a good while, 2 rebuilds of the EFI and a good amount of troubleshooting, but we got here.

Specs:

Ryzen 5 5500U with Vega Graphics
RTX 3050Ti (disabled)
16GB DDR4 RAM
512GB SK Hynix SSD (disabled, causes a kernel panic)
320GB Seagate HDD of some variation (external through USB, boot drive)
Intel AX200 WiFi/BT
Sonoma 14.5

Working:

WiFi, BT, OS, USB, Battery readouts, graphics acceleration (via NootedRed), HDMI, Dualboot with Windows 11 (time synced correctly too)

Not working:

Internal SSD (incompatible even with NVMEFix), speakers (irrelevant since I always use BT earbuds), iServices, Sleep

Made this hack after doing it on my old HP with a 6th gen Intel chip, and decided doing it to my main laptop would be interesting.
