QtOpenCoreConfig VS KVM-Opencore

Download & install OpenCore Auxiliary Tools - OCAT and launch the OCAuxiliaryTools application.

Used GitHub: OpenCore Auxiliary Tools (OCAT) to create initial config, while cross checking each setting with Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide

Please make a backup and use https://github.com/ic005k/QtOpenCoreConfig to update, it does all automatically

I use this: https://github.com/ic005k/QtOpenCoreConfig to update on each release , it automatically updates kexts ,drivers, opencore and the configuration but I always make a backup just in case

I would use this: https://github.com/ic005k/QtOpenCoreConfig

Here are the main ones I personally recommend as “must haves” when it comes to troubleshooting and building out your EFI, and getting things working: https://github.com/ic005k/QtOpenCoreConfig/releases/tag/20211217

But these OCS messages shouldn't have been there to begin with. I wanted to make them go away. How? Thankfully, I found ic005k's QtOpenCoreConfig, a pre-built app that inspects the config.plist and identifies errors in various Quirks & other config settings.

Try this tools https://github.com/ic005k/QtOpenCoreConfig Just two steps to upgrade your opencore to latest: open your oc config.plist, click save, then click sync oc It work well for me, hope it will for you

Does this guide solely focus on a bare metal install, or can I apply it to Hackintosh in virtual machines too? Used bare-metal for a few years but I’ve been trying to get a personalized kvm/OC config for my Monterey & Big Sur guests in proxmox 7. Both macOS versions boot and are decent but I do wish a host-setup like; https://github.com/johncolby/macOS-KVM. Instead of the more general approach; https://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore, https://github.com/Leoyzen/KVM-Opencore . Not to discredit either of them, I wouldn’t have a booting macOS without their guidance, but I’d like to tinker with it a bit further

8 cores x 2 threads (with 4 disabled) also works; See https://github.com/Leoyzen/KVM-Opencore
