OpenCore EFI files for my laptop, intended to be used with macOS Sonoma (should work with Sequoia however). Do not CTRL-C & CTRL+V this - it will likely not work. Uses OC version 1.0.2.

- SSD: A
GIGABYTE GP-GSM2NE3256GNTDNVMe that honestly sucks (40% wearout with only 19 TB written/read)
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Ethernet
- All USB ports
- Speakers
- Sleep
- Keyboard
- Trackpad
- iGPU
- AirDrop
- HDMI audio

| VoodooI2C | Intel/AMD I2C controller and slave device drivers for macOS. Required for trackpad support. | Yes |
| VoodooI2CHID | Satellite VoodooI2C kext which implements support for I2C-HID devices. | Yes |
| VoodooPS2 | Adds keyboard support. | Yes |
For kernel extensions not included in this repository, you should get them from the official source instead.
- Some apps don't work properly with < 1 GB of video memory
- Affected versions: macOS 10.15+
- Workaround: increase to at least 1 GB using Smokeless-UMAF.
- AirportItlwm does not work
- Affected versions: macOS 15+
- Workarounds:
- Use itlwm.kext with HeliPort instead.
- If you really are desperate, patch your system using OCLP, but note that OCLP is unsupported on hackintoshes.
- iServices don't work when using AirportItlwm.kext
- Affected versions: macOS 14+
- Workarounds:
- Use itlwm.kext with HeliPort instead.
- If you really are desperate, patch your system using OCLP, but note that OCLP is unsupported on hackintoshes.
- microsocks can also be used - see this issue.
bluetoothdmight randomly start crashing or require a full system reboot- Affected versions: exact versions unknown, confirmed to affect macOS 13.6.7+
- Workaround: you can try using
sudo purge && sudo pkill -9 bluetoothd BlueToolon a Terminal. I still do not know why this happens.
- HDMI audio, hardware encoding/decoding and hardware DRM is non-functional
- Affected versions: macOS 10.15+
- Workaround: N/A, see this issue for HDMI audio and this one for hardware DRM/VCN.
