Screen Shot 2022-02-22 at 20 02 49

Version
OpenCore 0.7.8 (RELEASE)
Monterey 12.2.1 (21D49)

(This config works with macOS 11 too)

Disclaimer

  • 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.

Issues and notes

  • 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 ๐Ÿ—ฟ Just 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.

Pre-install tasks

  • BACK UP YOUR STUFF, ESPECIALLY YOUR SSH KEYS, DON'T BE THIS GUY Screen Shot 2022-01-23 at 17 40 27
  • Keep your DSDT table dump somewhere safe, it's less convenient to dump on macOS

Post-install tasks

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).
