  1. You can simply add this as a property against the IO location in your config file if you feel this kind of info is essential for you even though it's entirely useless and purely cosmetic.
  2. Is the touchscreen USB-based? If so, the USB HID patch may bring it to life.
  3. Released July 5th, 2023. Build 23A5286g. Again, no OTA update offered when running with MBP15,2 SMBIOS and had to reboot temporarily with iMac19,1 SMBIOS. But completely smooth update otherwise. Notable change: startup progress bar has shifted down from right under the Apple logo to the bottom of the screen.
  4. Typical Lion KP, it's a classic... On most Hackintosh systems, Lion required to revert AppleACPIPlatform kext to an older version from Snow Leopard. From memory, you'll be Ok with v1.3.6.
  5. Released June 21st, 2023. Build 23A5276g. Could not obtain this 2nd beta through System Update; it just would not show (SMBIOS MBP15,2). I could only download the full installer, initiated the fresh installation from Sonoma which took ages to end up in a boot loop at reboot. Changed SMBIOS to iMac19,1 and was able to obtain update through the PrefPane. Update took longer than usual in my opinion but was successful and I was able to reboot with MBP15,2 SMBIOS upon completion. Time zone setting bug remains present (could it be linked to lack of built-in Broadcom wireless?) and, overall, this 2nd beta looks pretty much the same as the 1st one. Timezone still stuck on Pacific Daylight with no apparent possibility to set it manually. I had to disable automatic time zone using current location, then manually type my country's capital in the "Closest City" field to be able to obtain my real time zone; When I enabled automatic time zone again, my adjusted time zone remained as I had set it. Nice bug.
  6. For laptops, the buck stops at 10th gen Comet Lake and Ice Lake platforms. No support (no drivers) for Intel integrated graphics (iGPU) beyond 10th gen CML and ICL. Latitude 5320 is 11th gen Tiger Lake which makes it unsuitable as a Hackintosh due to unsupported graphics. There are no tricks or workaround to this lack of support. This has been stated here: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/2998-platforms-compatibility-requirements-for-os-xmacos/ https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8238-supportedunsupported-gpus-graphics-cards
  7. You can get Wifi to work after installing Ventura, simply by following the documentation posted at ITLWM site.
  8. There's so much non-sense (not to say worse) said and written all over the Hackintosh forums again with this forthcoming new release, I sometimes long for the death of Hackintosh so that it all stops once and for all. Sonoma 1st beta is hardly out that, once again, the weeping divas (who should all have accompanied Silvio Berlusconi's last concubine at his funeral to show their expertise on the matter) are at it! Among them, we find those whose life is being torn apart by Apple because they've lost Wifi with (unreleased) Sonoma, those who cry foul at Apple's renewed attacks against Hackintoshers, those who predict millions of business loss for Apple and those who just speak out of their arse (latter probably being a good summary of all the others)! This time, it's all about Broadcom wireless cards... So what's the situation? Well, it's very simple: Apple has completed its migration to Apple Silicon, the last Intel model (MacPro7,1) has been dropped. So, all those who write about "when Apple complete their migration" need a serious awakening. It's done boys, it's done! And exactly as expected... The last (Intel) Mac platforms that used Broadcom cards based on BCM4350 or BCM4360 are dropped. As such, Apple no longer intends to provide drivers, just as they do for dropped GPUs. It should come to no surprise to anyone, it's the way Apple has worked for the last... 11 years (remember Mountain Lion in 2012 ?) not to say more (14 years, if we consider the way PPC platforms were dropped in 2009 with the release of Snow Leopard). I've seen here and there so-called Hackintosh experts/gurus writing they believe Apple dropped the Broadcom legacy cards because the platforms supported by Sonoma don't even have Broadcom wireless inside, then that they have Broadcom wireless therefore support for older cards will return. That's a good example of what I mean about people talking out of their arse. Let's recap a few things here: Sonoma 1st beta officially drops 7th gen. Kaby Lake platforms (on top of older ones of course) but, for the moment, retains KBL graphics drivers. Why? Simple: because it's required to support Amber Lake UHD617 graphics of MBA8,1. Sonoma 1st beta drops Broadcom legacy 802.11ac wireless chipsets that Ventura still supported through IO80211FamilyLegacy kext: 14e4:43ba, 14e4:43a3 and 14e4:43a0, i.e. BCM43602, BCM4350 and BCM4360. Big Sur had already dropped support for the last 802.11bgn cards that Apple had retained up to Catalina. Supporting those older 802.11ac chipsets through a kext bearing the name "legacy" since macOS Monterey should have been quite an obvious hint in itself as far as what the future held... Sonoma 1st beta supports only the following Broadcom chipsets: 14e4:43dc, 14e4:4464, 14e4:4488, 14e4:4425, 14e4:4433 and 14e4:4434, i.e. BCM4355 (802.11ac), BCM4364 (802.11ac), BCM4377b (802.11ac), BCM4378 (802.11ax), BCM4387 (802.11ax) and BCM4388 (802.11ax). Afaik, all those are provided as specific SOCs to Apple by Broadcom, i.e. chips to be soldered on Apple motherboards and not available on add-on mini-PCIe/M.2 cards. https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Broadcom With regards to the wireless chipsets fitted to Intel Mac platforms supported by Sonoma, it's as follows: 2018 Mac mini8,1 -> BCM4364 (pci14e4,4464) 2018/2019 MacBookAir8,x -> BCM4355 (pci14e4,43dc) 2020 MacBookAir9,1 -> BCM4377b (pci14e4,4488) 2018/2019 MacBookPro15,x -> BCM4364 (pci14e4,4464) 2019/2020 MacBookPro16,x -> BCM4364 (pci14e4,4464) 2019 iMac19,x -> BCM4364 (pci14e4,4464) 2020 iMac20,x -> BCM4364 (pci14e4,4464) 2017 iMacPro1,1 -> BCM4355 (pci14e4,43dc) 2019 MacPro7,1 -> BCM4364 (pci14e4,4464) Let's hope the weeping divas and would-be experts/gurus can put 2 and 2 together...
  9. As for the Intel wireless card, do visit the ITLWM repo/site and follow the documentation after checking which specific model you have so that you assess compatibility and support potentials. Can't say more, you did not specify your card model.
  10. -> Moved to section dedicated to Sonoma beta... Please post all future Sonoma pre-1st release matters in this section. With regards to systems older than Skylake that require specific patching to re-instate dropped features/abandoned hardware (eg: pre-Kaby Lake graphics, Broadcom wireless), please note that, at the time of writing, there is no version of OCLP developed for Sonoma yet. This takes time so wait until the suitable announcement is made. Of course, Apple having only released the 1st beta, there is a lot more than "one thing" to work out to obtain 100% working systems, whether Hackintosh or not. For instance, this time, the list of dropped features/abandonned hardware extends to Broadom wireless and there are software bugs too (eg: sleep, clock settings, etc.).
  11. I appreciate you're new here (and to the Hackintosh scene too, it would seem) but would there be a point of posting a guide that didn't (fully) work? I suggest you read the guide with all due attention before posting silly questions.
  12. I know of no EFI that solves your screen flickering issue. There must be something wrong with your particular setup. Why don't you try the Clover guide I posted? It's entirely faultless.
  13. We have existing guides for that model in our Guides section. Just follow them.
  14. List of dropped platforms extends to Intel 7th gen. Kaby Lake this year, yet KBL graphics drivers are retained to support ABL graphics (2018 MacBook Air8,1). This is good omen for Kaby Lake platforms of course but especially for Skylake platforms that are able to re-use the same tricks used for Ventura, i.e. fake a KBL iGPU id and call on a KBL framebuffer. At least in this 1st beta version.... Bad news on the wireless front: IO80211FamilyLegacy kext is gone and, with it, native support for Broadcom cards based on BCM4350 and BCM4360 chipsets which includes DW1820A and all those Apple BCM94360xxx that we could use up to Ventura. We'll see if this can somehow be addressed through a patch of some sort. Interestingly enough, support for Broadcom Bluetooth appears to remain untouched, at least as far as the BT module of the Apple BCM94360CS2 card is concerned. Meantime, I called on an old TP-Link TL-WN725N v3 Wireless N Nano USB adapter that I had lying around. It's crap (802.11n 150Mbps) but will do for the moment. It's based on Realtek chipset RTL8188EUS (PCI id 0bda:8179). Other than that, nothing to report after just a brief spell with Sonoma 1st beta. Installation on my Skylake Latitude E7270 was pretty much painless: from Ventura, I updated Clover to r5151 (just in case), updated my add-on kexts to latest versions (Lilu & PlugIns mostly) and, in my Ventura Clover config, changed SMBIOS to MBP15,2 (necessary) and added boot arg -lilubetaall (also necessary). I then rebooted Ventura and launched the Sonoma installation package. Upon completion, I found that LAN, audio and external video outputs worked better if I used the combined boot args -lilubeta -wegbeta -alcbeta instead of single boot arg -lilubetaall. NB: Sonoma boots/works the same way if, instead of SMBIOS MBP15,2, I boot it with SMBIOS MBP13,1/MBP14,1 and add -no_compat_check boot arg. Avoid MBP15,1 on Skylake laptops, it prevents external video outputs for instance. Working: graphics acceleration with same KBL settings as in Ventura brightness control HDMI output mini-DP output touchscreen audio (incl. DP/HDMI audio) LAN Apple (Broadcom) BCM94360CS2 Bluetooth but a bit erratic at times (on startup and after wake) touchPad USB ports sleep wake but troublesome if hibernation is disabled so it's best to leave things untouched for the moment SD card reader Not working: Apple (Broadcom) BCM94360CS2 wireless
  15. WWDC June 5th, 2023. Today, Apple unveiled macOS 14 Sonoma. As usual, 1st beta version is available to developers with immediate effect and 1st public beta will be available in July with a final release in the fall. With Apple now completing its move to Apple Silicon (Mac Pro now switching to M2, it was the last platform still running on Intel platform), Sonoma appears to drop official support for Intel 7th gen. Kaby Lake platforms, as expected, the iMacPro remaining the exception as per Ventura. We can expect 8th/9th gen. Amber Lake/Coffee Lake to be dropped next year and final 10th gen. Comet Lake/Ice Lake in 2025. Minimum platform requirements are therefore: iMac19,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake) iMacPro1,1 (Skylake Xeon) MacBookAir8,1 (8th gen. Amber Lake) MacBookPro15,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake) Macmini8,1 (8th gen Coffee Lake) MacPro7,1 (Cacade Lake) View full article

  17. I've read the same at InsanelyMac. It's a beta version so who knows? Start by checking your video settings against the CML recommended settings in the WEG user manual. https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md#intel-uhd-graphics-610-655-coffee-lake-and-comet-lake-processors For instance, you chose to opt for CFL layout 0x3EA50004 when the recommended frame buffer for laptops is 0x3EA50009. Then there is the question of why you chose the connectors patches you apply: you patch con0, con1 and con2 with their vanilla values which is totally and utterly useless. It does no harm of course... Then you apply a stolenmem patch with value 0x01E00000, i.e. 30MB. If we add that to the fbmem patch you apply, i.e. 9MB, you're above the 32MB value often set for DVMT. If the laptop boots without KP with those settings, remove those 2 patches as they're clearly not required. The laptop's DVMT must be set to 64MB or more. UHD 630 iGPU of Intel i7-10510u carries ids 0x9B41/0x9BCC. As stated in the WEG user manual, macOS's CFL drivers support CML ids 0x9BC4, 0x9BC5 and 0x9BC8. Did you try those before faking CFL id 0x3EA5?

  18. You may of course update to 10.6.8, it's totally safe. DW1395 is not natively supported and needs a Broadcom patched kext (or a kext patch) as indicated in the Wireless cards inventory for which I gave you a link earlier. You should find it on the forum through a search but here it goes... Broadcom43XXFamilyrev2.kext.zip Unzip the kext and place it in your /Extra/Extensions folder, then run myHack->myFix and reboot. You'll then have working wireless.
  19. That's where you get it wrong. To apply the bootpack, you have to run myHack and load/apply it with myHack, it's one of the option in the pop-down menu (called "Install Extra" from memory). Copying/pasting it to the USB key won't do. Please note that T7250 is a little Merom CPU running at 2.0GHz and fitted with only 2MB L2 cache. Performance won't be great, even more so if you run off a mechanical HDD, whether 5400rpm or, preferably, 7200rpm.
  20. As I said, 10.6.7 is no good, forget it. Only use 10.6(.0), 10.6.3 or 10.6.8. All the packs I posted all those years ago were tested like a million times so rest assured they're bullet proof. It must be something you do incorrectly with myHack. Remember that it's a 2 step process where you 1st build your USB installer, then add the bootpack to the USB installer. Do not miss that 2nd step. You still haven't replied: what CPU do you have in that D630?
  21. Re: Snow Leopard, you can only use Retail versions to install it. All the others are recovery versions that lack the complete set of installation files and can only by used on real Mac computers but not for installation on a Hackintosh. There are only 3 retail versions: 10.6(.0), 10.6.3 and 10.6.8. It's not difficult to find one of those on the Net to be honest, mostly 10.6.3 with which my bootpack works and you'll be able to update straight to 10.6.8 thereafter. Lion (and Mountain Lion) is a different story since Apple released 10.7.5 for free only a couple of years ago. See here.
  22. Just verified the bootpack and all is Ok afaik. Try and boot Chameleon with boot args -f -v. Just press a key when you see the initial Chameleon boot screen to obtain the prompt and type the boot args before pressing [ENTER]. Former arg will ensure you boot without cache.
  23. Which pack did you use? What CPU do you have in your D630 (it'll show in BIOS settings)? What's the version of Snow Leopard you're installing? It probably ain't 10.6.8 but 10.6(.0) or 10.6.3.
