  • WhateverGreen

    Various patches necessary for certain ATI/AMD/Intel/Nvidia GPUs

    • I took a look at your config.plist only one thing stood out to me, but I don't think it would affect the video in any way. That is I didn't see USB mapping done (or alternatively USBInjectAll.kext installed). Otherwise I would either try change your SMBIOS to one without dGPU (MacBookPro11,4 or 11,2) or try different AAPL,ig-platform-id as found here. A few of the available mobile options for Haswell are: - 0500260A - 0600260A - 08002E0A - 0C00160A - 0700260D - 0900260D - 0E00260D - 0F00260D

    • There's also this guy on Github but the repo is older, uses Clover, and it likely wont boot Big Sur. He used a desktop SMBIOS of iMac14,2 and has some issues but looks like he did get the OS to install.

  • Lenovo-W541-MacOS-OpenCore

    Thinkpad W541 Hackintosh (up to Big Sur 11.1)

    • So, here is my folder and what i was using before (big sur 11.1), i can assure you it works but you need to set your bios to non-fastboot and with the old bootlogo mode, now i only have windows, so i can't test it with newer version of macos. From what i remember the only thing that wasn't working was the standby, the dgpu and the screen stop, https://github.com/giovannidirenzo/Lenovo-W541-MacOS-OpenCore, if someone has the will to update the EFI/OpenCore version and to correct the standby i will be happy to try newer version of macOS
