literally everything in this computer is compatible except for the wifi

Hi people is there anyone that can help me make this machine a hackintosh ive seen similar machine and people doing it with much success?

Not all computers are worthy Hackintoshes...

well in my case i don't really have a choice, it can't be replaced in this laptop.

These cards were always best avoided. https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11138-inventory-of-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-2-sierra-ventura-beyond

I got some Acer laptop which has an AR5B22 (AR9462 chipset) Wi-Fi card, and it can't be replaced. I replaced the laptop's Pentium with a spare i5 I had laying around and installed High Sierra on it, and mostly everything is working, except for the Wi-Fi, even the Bluetooth works perfectly, but the Wi-Fi just isn't detected at all. Right now for Wi-Fi I have to use a Realtek USB adapter, which requires chris1111's software and SIP disabled, I'd rather just using the internal Wi-Fi, as I hate the USB adapter sticking out of the laptop (this laptop is already big enough, i don't need it to be even bigger), and I'd like SIP enabled. Does anyone know how to get this Wi-Fi card working in macOS?

go it it worked after so may attempts. https://github.com/khoi-ttc/ThinkPad-X390-Opencore-EFI-Sequoia/releases/tag/release

Hi Herve, any other suggestion on this please. Tried many options, but all in vain

i read online that someone faked the 620 to 630 mobile graphics and HDMI worked.. I tried but didn't work.. Can you help as what all need to be changed to fake graphics.. Display The model of Integrated Graphics is Intel UHD Graphics 620, faked to Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile) . The HDMI is attached with Intel UHD Graphics 630 and is functioning normally. 2K@60Hz & 4K@30Hz are supported.

i checked, i dont have external GPU or dGPU at all.. still not able to get HDMI output

still same.. i think im doing something wrong hereMacBook Pro 2.zip

I bought Tuxera..

You inject property: disable-external-gpu Does your Thinkpad have a dGPU? If so, HDMI may be wired to it.

https://mounty.app/#FAQs Have you tried contacting the tool's developer or reading the posted comments? I would also suggest that you check if the necessary driver got installed properly and not blocked by Gatekeeper. See our Sequoia beta 3 thread in the archive. You may need to upload a modified profile.

I am using macOS Sequoia 15.1. After installing the Mounty application with terminal commands, disk partitions with Windows 11 installed are not mounted as writable. I can mount disks with Windows 10 installed on another computer as writable using the Mounty application. But I have Big Sur installed on that computer. Does anyone have a solution suggestion for this?

still same, no HDMI output.. when i connect HDMI to my laptop, the cursor and everything start lagging a lot. the moment i unplug, its back to normal.. the attached IOreg is saved when HDMI is connected..

Sorry but I don't understand what you're saying about HDMI. IOReg shows that you most certainly did remove all the unnecessary stuff from your config but no external screen attached to con1 or con2. Were you trying to say that your laptop froze or crashed when you plugged in an HDMI cable/screen? If so, try and patch con1's pipe as follows: framebuffer-con1-pipe 12000000 DATA Re: camera not working, you probably need to remap your USB ports after changing SMBIOS.

Hi Sorry for late reply, i just got hang of HDMI cable on joining office, also when HDMI cable is plugged in, my hack works very slow. IOreg file attached My Cam is also not working after changing the SMBIOS to 15,2.. my hack info still shows 16 inch macbook.

so, update, this system has suddenly decided it's now going to accept my RX 580. I did reflash that card's VBIOS so I don't know if that fixed it, but whatever the case is, this issue is essentially resolved as I now have a dGPU and can just use two HDMI monitors with that.

I would personally never claim that that every manufacturer provided VGA in the manner you state and they certainly did not convert VGA to something else internally: it's the other way round: digital to analog conversion of the signal. Dell (and obviously some others) have indeed done so from a DP output. If it were the case in your Acer desktop, you'd already have VGA output. But you don't, so... As I said, you could try and bypass AGDP but you may also experiment with various patches of your 1st and/or 3rd connector knowing that port 0 is always LVDS/eDP but "standard" ports 5, 6 and 7 (i.e. connectors with indexes 1, 2 and 3) are used for other types. Of course, you can create your own connectors through various combinations of indexes and BusId. You use KBL FB 0x59120000 in which you simply patch con1/port6 to HDMI type: ID: 59120000, STOLEN: 38 MB, FBMEM: 0 bytes, VRAM: 1536 MB, Flags: 0x0000110B TOTAL STOLEN: 39 MB, TOTAL CURSOR: 1 MB (1572864 bytes), MAX STOLEN: 115 MB, MAX OVERALL: 116 MB (122171392 bytes) Model name: Intel HD Graphics KBL CRB Camellia: CamelliaDisabled (0), Freq: 1388 Hz, FreqMax: 1388 Hz Mobile: 0, PipeCount: 3, PortCount: 3, FBMemoryCount: 3 [1] busId: 0x05, pipe: 9, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [2] busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [3] busId: 0x06, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP 01050900 00040000 87010000 02040A00 00040000 87010000 03060A00 00040000 87010000 To give you a practical example, as described in my initial Ventura beta early findings thread, I use KBL mobile FB 0x5916000 on my SKL Latitude E7270 laptop and just patch con1/port6 to HDMI type in order to obtain HDMI audio.

DP output works with either port 6 or 7.

Well, first of all, let me make this clear, it is not a VGA port internally. Intel removed support for VGA back in the Skylake days, so it is very much impossible for it to be VGA internally, and the way every manufacturer worked around it was by converting to DP internally. Some Googling can confirm this. The issue isn't that I have a VGA screen, the issue is it's all the system has. HDMI and VGA is all Acer put on this system, and I need dual-monitor support. I also can't get a dGPU, because Acer doesn't let you. This system doesn't send any video output with a dGPU connected unless an OS loads the driver for that dGPU, and after doing some research, this is what most low-end Acer systems do, they're hard-coded to only let you use the iGPU.
