Nvcap Maker Install Boot Think. After that, just install Boot Think 3.2. Copy the DSDT.aml file to the Darwin Folder. Before you boot it, you must first install the drivers like FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext, PlatformUUID.kext, SleepEnabler.kext, IOAHCIBlockStorageInject.kext. Nvcap Maker Update You Must. Apr 21, 2020 PhotoScape X for Mac is a photo viewing and editing tool for Mac that provides many of the same tools as iPhoto, but in a separate interface that was often faster in our tests than the native app.
- Supported version: 0.6.2
So this little(well not so little as I reread this...) page is for users who are having issues migrating from Clover to OpenCore as some of their legacy quirks are required or the Configuration.pdf isn't well suited for laptop users.
See Kexts and Firmware drivers.
ACPI Renames:
So with the transition from Clover to OpenCore we should start removing unneeded patches you may have carried along for some time:
- EHCI Patches: Recommended to power off the controller with SSDT-EHCx_OFF. Skylake and newer users do not have an EHCI controller so no need for this.
- change EHC1 to EH01
- change EHC2 to EH02
- XHCI Patches: Not needed once an Injector kext is made
- change XHCI to XHC
- change XHC1 to XHC
- SATA patches: Purely cosmetic in macOS now
- change SAT0 to SATA
- change SAT1 to SATA
- IMEI Patches: Handled by WhateverGreen
- change HECI to IMEI
- change HEC1 to IMEI
- change MEI to IMEI
- change IDER to MEID
- GFX patches: Handled by WhateverGreen
- change GFX0 to IGPU
- change PEG0 to GFX0
- change PEGP to GFX0
- change SL01 to PEGP
- EC Patches: See here on best solution: Getting started with ACPI
- change EC0 to EC
- change H_EC to EC
- change ECDV to EC
- change PGEC to EC
- Audio renames: Handled by AppleALC
- change HDAS to HDEF
- change CAVS to HDEF
- change AZAL to HDEF
- change ALZA to HDEF
- change B0D3 to HDAU
- Z390 BIOS RTC bug fix: See here on best solution: Getting started with ACPI(SSDT-AWAC)
- change STAS to [Blank]
- Fix Z390 BIOS DSDT Device(RTC) bug
- Fix 300-series RTC Bug
- NVMe patches: NVMeFix fixes power management
- change PXSX to ANS1
- change PXSX to ANS2
- Airport/Wifi Patches: AirportBrcmFixup
- change PXSX to ARPT
- Other purely cosmetic patches:
- change LPC0 to LPCB(use SSDT-SBUS-MCHC for fixing SMBUS support)
- change PC00 to PCIO
- change FPU to MATH
- change TMR to TIMR
- change PIC to IPIC
- change GBE1 to ETH0

Audio:
For the following, you will need to know your PciRoot for your audio controller and its name(commonly known as HDEF but also HDAS, HDAU and such), this can be found with gfxutil:

KernelPm:

AppleIntelCPUPM:

For an extensive list of patches, please compare OpenCore's CommonPatches.c
with Clover's kernel_patcher.c. Some patches are not transferred over so if you're having issues this is the section to check, example is converting the KernelIvyBridgeXCPM()
to OpenCore:
For Low end Haswell+ like Celerons, please see here for recommended patches: Bugtracker Issues 365
USB Port Limit Patches:
Kernel -> Quirks -> XhciPortLimit -> YES
External Icons Patch:
kernel -> Quirks -> ExternalDiskIcons -> YES
- Used for when you internal disk are seen as external on macOS
AppleRTC
Issue with AppleRTC, quite a simple fix:
- config.plist -> Kernel -> Quirks -> DisableRtcChecksum -> true
Note: If you still have issues, you'll need to use RTCMemoryFixup and exclude ranges. See here for more info
The following boot-arg should handle 99% of cases(pair this with RTCMemoryFixup):
If this works, slowly shorten the excluded area until you find the part macOS is getting fussy on
FakeCPUID:
Kernel -> Emulate
:CpuidMask
:<Clover_FCPUID_Extended_to_4_bytes_Swapped_Bytes> | 00 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00

Note: Finding CPUID's for Intel can be a bit harder than looking at Intel ARK, easiest way to find it is via Microsoft's Intel microcode update notes
ROM:
- No direct translation for
UseMacAddr0
as you need to provide your hardware ROM, can be found inSystem Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Hardware
- Also verify your En0 is still built-in when running OpenCore, this can break iMessage and iCloud when there's no
built-in
property.

InjectKexts:
- No equivalent but you really have no excuse to keep FakeSMC inside macOS
NoCaches:
- This only works up to 10.7 on Clover, and OpenCore requires an OS that supports a prelinked(10.7) so there can't be an equivalent
ExposeSysVariables:
- Just add your SMBIOS properties under
PlatformInfo
- Confusing quirk tbh, it's not even mentioned in more recent versions of the Clover docs on AppleLife
NvidiaWeb:
- What this does is apply
sudo nvram nvda_drv=1
on every boot. To get a similar effect you can find it under the following path: NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> nvda_drv: <31>

iPortable Snow x86 optimized Mac OSX 10.6.2 Snowleopard CopyCatX MBR image for generic Intel PCs (32/64bit) and (SSE2/SSE3) or higher..
Based on previous and never released iPortable 10.5.8 and Hazard’s patched Snowleopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 and Snowleopard Server 10.6.2 distro, Empire EFI and MyHack releases...
Re-ripped, tweaked and optimized by ProtocolX to make it booting on a lot of Intel chipset PC'[s!
Read carefully !!!
AMD not yet supported.. Intel only [SSE2/SSE3] or higher.. English and Dutch only !!
All other system languages and left over PPC architectures are removed !!
You can always re-install more languages very easy..
- NO APPLE SOFTWARE IS REMOVED IN THIS EDITION!!
This is a full Mac OSX Snowleopard 10.6.2 installation! No account is created, registration screen will be loaded at first boot. (Only removed big file is Alex’s voice)
-ALL VIDEOKEXTS ARE REMOVED FROM SYSTEM!!
To prevent booting problems on serveral systems. They are zipped and moved to: Hackintosh tools/Snow Drivers/Video Drivers/Removed Video Kexts... Use Kexthelper B7 to re-install your videokexts before trying enabling graphics.
- DEFAULT BOOT MODE IS 32BIT!!
The default bootmode of this iPortable Snow is 32bits.
So it can run even on an old Intel SSE2 processor.
(SSE3 is recommended..)
But no 64bit code is removed offcourse... You always can still use this Snowleopard in full 64bits mode.
To enable 64bit in Snowleopard
Type in bootloader: arch=x86_64 (Boot in 32/64bits mode)
or -force64 (Force booting in 64bit)
