Administrators Hervé Posted December 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2015 Are you saying that, in order to obtain proper/full CPU power management on this SandyBridge platform, you have to use an IvyBridge-based MacBookPro10,1 board id alongside the SMBIOS id of an Arrandale-based MacBookPro6,1? I must admit that this sounds kind of strange... Wouldn't the full full SMBIOS of a MacBookPro8,1 or 8,2 work as well? This would be the normal way to enjoy proper CPU power management as long as you've generated the SSDT with the well-know generator tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howoarang Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 My system doesn't boot with SMBIOS from MacBookPro 8.1 or 8.2 or 8.3 and without nullCPU.kext. Booting was very slow and got black screen. Now, I must say that it works! SMBIOS from MacBookPro6.1 + BoardID from MacBookPro10.1... and booting is fast and also get properly Speedsteping.

Administrators Hervé Posted December 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2015 Ok, well, that's really weird. How's your FakeSMC kext tuned with SMC keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitemeoftn Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I know I'm sort of reviving an old thread, but I also have an M4600 and I'd like to take a shot at making it a hackbook. So far my only experience is with using Niresh's distros. Could someone point me to a step by step tutorial to get this going? I'd love to give it a shot from scratch on my own. Thank you in advance for any help or responses. Well I've made it quite a ways now I've gotten just about everything working except for USB 3.0, audio correctly (currently using VooDoo), HDMI, and sleeping when I close the lid. Everything else seems to be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2016 Try plugging in power adapter before waiting. If it's anything like my M6800 with nvidia. Wakes fine while on power adapter, but wake to a black screen without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saviourshah Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 hi thnx for suggestion, this doesnt worked for me. with nvidia it wakes to black screen with nothing working. and with intel it wakes and restart. is there any way to keep intel on after restarting osx on m4600? it disable optimus automatically when i log in osx.
