Need some help with the Feature Unlock Repo
Hi, I'm trying use my 'outdated' iPad as a sidecar for my brand new Mac. I found this repo https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock which seems to be the only one maintained for now, but they haven't provided any installation steps or guidelines and I'm completely clueless. Can anyone please explain to me how it works or guide me to some resources? I've some programming experience but not in the low level areas this seems to be in. Thanks!

SUCCESS! Monterey on i5 11400F, MSI Z490 MPG Edge WiFi, RX 6600 XT
Airdrop doesn't work (at least it doesn't with me), continuity does, and if you want more features, install this kext.

Black screen after install Mac Pro 2009 with GT 710
I'm using the latest version of OCLP and Big Sur 11.6.2 installer on a Mac Pro from 2009 with a GT 710. I'm able to create a OCLP USB and boot to and run the installer just fine. However, upon reboot I'm getting nothing--just a black screen. Previously I was getting a race condition before building the OCLP USB with SurPlus' patch: https://github.com/reenigneorcim/SurPlus. Now with the SurPlus patch enabled in the OCLP USB TUI build tool I am getting the black screen after install and initial reboot.
