    • OpenCore 0.8.9 is out. There are quite a few changes and improvements. Get it in Acidanthera.

  • OcBinaryData

    • Fixed loading macOS with legacy boot without Apple Secure Boot: there is a new PE (Portable Executable) loader that broke legacy boot, blocking the loading of legacy drivers as HfsPlusLegacy and preventing OpenCore from booting on legacy systems when Apple Secure Boot is disabled. With this fix, legacy boot can work with or without Apple Secure Boot. This issue was detected after version 0.8.8 was released. While you are on 0.8.8, you must download the new versions of the drivers HfsPlusLegacy and ExFatDxeLegacy (the one/s that are necessary), available in Acidanthera. This is not required if you are on OpenCore 0.8.9.
