(This config works with macOS 11 too)
- I don't care what you do with it, except for commercial purposes. Refer to Psystar's case.
- Reminder that this is only a base for your OpenCore setup, it is strongly recommended that you follow the entire OpenCore guide here
- There will be differences probably even for the same line of machine, however if you're feeling lazy I guess you can just copy the config, just remember to add in information such as the MLB or the ROM in
PlatformInfo
.
- Sleep
- Trackpad/mouse wake doesn't work
- Sometimes require a keyboard+power combo to wake up. Darkwake issue that I haven't got around to fixing.
- Brightness is controlled by Fn+S and Fn+B rather than Fn+F11 and Fn+F12
Moving the cursor with the trackpad works, but I don't know how are you supposed to click ๐ฟJust put in a battery smh my head- Don't use case-sensitive APFS if you want to use Steam or Adobe tools.
- If you've selected a case-sensitive file system, it is still possible to run Steam with this guide, but Adobe apps can't be installed.
- BACK UP YOUR STUFF, ESPECIALLY YOUR SSH KEYS, DON'T BE THIS GUY
- Keep your DSDT table dump somewhere safe, it's less convenient to dump on macOS
Refer to OpenCore Post-Install guide for more detail.
- Copy the EFI from your OpenCore USB over to your EFI partition (no shit)
- Fix sleep. I have already included a FixShutdown SSDT, but if this does not work, you'll have to build one yourself.
- Disable CFG Lock: my offset is
0x4C7
, found on v3.11.0, though my BIOS is significantly older (v2.6.0).
