OpenCorePkg VS OpenCore-Install-Guide

> I don't really care what Apple does on this regard, they were always doing things differently. IIRC, even Macs that supported EFI, only supported EFI 1.1, not 2.0, no?

Yup, but as long as you got an original Apple GPU that's enough to just stick a Windows or Linux USB stick and you can install straight from the stick. "Normal" PCI GPUs have to be reflashed with a GOP blob [1] so that Apple's EFI implementation can work with it.

Personally, I just went and installed OpenCore once and that's it.

Step #2: Now we need a recovery image for macOS. To get this, visit https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg, and download the latest release from the releases page. After downloading, extract the files, and head to Utilities/macrecovery. There, if you don’t have Python installed, then this is a perfect time to install it. Open the file named recovery_urls.txt and copy the first line under latest, or copy the line under a specific version. If you’re on Windows, open Command Prompt as admin and paste the command you just copied and add download on the very end. This would download a folder named com.apple.recovery.boot. Now, if you’re on Windows, install Rufus and open it. (If you can’t install Rufus, then skip everything until the :), then just you will have to format the flash drive as FAT32 manually.). Then insert a flash drive with a minimum of 1GB and configure Rufus as shown:

Here's a large example with nested arrays and dicts, integers, strings, etc:

The hackintosh community has tools to generate those #s. e.g. https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/Utili...

OpenCore 0.9.7 is out. You can get it from Acidanthera.

OpenCore 0.9.6 is out. Although there is only 1 change in config.plist (useful only for Max OS X 10.4 and 10.5), the code continues to receive improvements and fixes.https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases

I just installed MacOS Ventura yesterday on a 2013 MacBook Pro by using OpenCore. Worth checking out if you haven’t already considered it: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg#readme

IF you don't have opencore downloaded, don't download from their link, go directly to the dortania guide here and download version 0.9.2: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/

Check dortania’s open core guide

To keep costs down, Keep an eye on local market place and classified sites for a cheapish gaming PC with an AMD card in it (RX’s 5700 / 5700xt / 5600xt / 6600xt / 6600). Look up the parts here on Reddit and https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ to see if people have problems or methods needed to make them work.

Idk much about amd gpu support but u can check it on Dortania’s open core guide which I highly recommend you to follow

Btw u can follow this https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

I have similar setup (i7 8700K, 5700XT, Asus Prime Z370-a), everything works, no issues (wifi with OCLP patches). All you need is here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

Go through the Dortania Guide.
