macOS version: 14.0
OpenCore version: 0.9.5
NOTE:- If you dont't have usb audio adapter then useVoodooHDA and put that kext in "/Library/Extensions/" then restart your mac.tutorial Video

• Sonoma (14.x)
• Ventura (13.x)
• Monterey (12.x)
• Big Sur (11.x)
• Catalina (10.15.x)
• Mojave (10.14.x)
• High Sierra (10.13.x)

Used OpenCore version: 0.9.5

This EFI is compatible with all Ryzen and Athlon 2xxGE processors withmacOS-compatible peripherals.

Support for 15h (FX series), 16h (A series) and Threadripper CPUs is not covered here.

¹ Support for Nvidia GPUs was dropped in Monterey Beta 7, the only way to get it back is usingOpenCore Legacy Patcher. Kepler series under correctPAT Patch. Others require WebDrivers which work only in High Sierra or are not supported. More details onDortania.

² Some R7 and R9 GPUs require FakeID. More detailshere

³ Lexa series GPUs are not supported. Older than 7000 series are supported up to High Sierra (10.13), their support is not covered here.

ForAMD Navi 10 Series GPUs (RX 5500, RX 5600, RX 5700) you need to addagdpmod=pikera toboot-args to fix the black screen issue.

PAT Patch made by Shaneee is used by default. It improves GPU performance but it has a few caveats. Audio passed by HDMI or DisplayPort won't work or will be unstable. It alsomay not work with Nvidia GPUs.

If you want to control monitor's brightness or HDMI/DP audio volume you need to useMonitorControl for that.

All laptops with AMD CPUs are not supported due to integrated GPUs incompatbility.

Follow these steps to properly installSSDT-CPUR.

• Download fromhere.
• Install it to yourOC/ACPI directory.
• Add it to your configuration file. Use ProperTree for simplicity.

To disableSetupVirtualMap simply go toBooter -> Quirks -> SetupVirtualMap in your configuration file and disable it. (Should befalse).

Follow these steps if your audio chipset is different than the one specified in theSpecification.

• Gohere to find your audio chipset codec. (UnderCodec)
  • If you can't find your codec on the list, then you probably have to useVoodooHDA. This repository does not cover or support the use of VoodooHDA.
• UnderRevisions and layouts you'll see bunch of numbers and layout ids.
• Find yourboot-args settings and look foralcid=11.
• Try every layout id (except0x values) one by one until it works.
  • Example:alcid=10 iflayout 10

Caveats:

• External (USB) audio cards should work out of the box.
• Microphone input (3.5mm Jack) won't work properly. Use USB/Bluetooth microphones instead.
• If you have CPU with integrated GPU (even if you don't use it) your audio may be broken or unstable. You can try usingSpeedKeeper but it's not guaranteed to fix your problem. The best solution is using external (USB) audio card.

If you experience any issues with your network connection, then your best bet would be to install a different kext, preferably fromhere.

If you use High Sierra and Realtek 8111 Ethernet Card then you should useolder version of kext.

If you have issues with network card on Monterey or newer try addinge1000=0 toboots-args.

SmallTree kext does not work on Monterey for now. You can tryAppleIGB kext, it works on some systems. If it does not work you have to stay on Big Sur and wait for SmallTree's update.

Only Apple Airport and Fenvi cards work out of the box.Here you can list of all supported cards and needed kexts for them.

Rembember that AirDrop, Handoff, etc. works only on cards with Broadcom chip.

1. Followthis guide to create your bootable USB.

2. Clone this repository and copy "BOOT" & "OC" directories to your "EFI" directory on your bootable USB. The structure should look somewhat like this:EFI -> BOOT, OC.

3. Modify Core Count patches to match your CPU's cores amount.

• Find fouralgrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches underKernel -> Patch in your config.

• Modify these patches for your CPU physical cores. Changefirst pair of00 inReplace of these patches toHex value from below table.

  • e. g. for Ryzen 7 1700 with 8 Cores three modified patches should look like:
    • B800 0000 0000 -> B808 0000 0000
    • BA00 0000 0000 -> BA08 0000 0000
    • BA00 0000 0090 -> BA08 0000 0090
    • BA00 0000 00 -> BA08 0000 00

4. Usethis tool to generate your unique SMBIOS info.

• SMBIOS has to be unique, you cannot use one present in this repository.

• Run the tool and selectGenerate SMBIOS.

• Select the appropriate model for your hardware using the table below.

• Go toApple Coverage and paste generatedSerial. You need "Invalid Serial" or "Purchase Date not Validated" message. If you get something another you have to generate SMBIOS data and check it again.

• Openconfig.plist and search forPlatformInfo -> Generic and replace these values:

  • SystemProductName - Model
  • MLB - Board Serial
  • SystemSerialNumber - Serial
  • SystemUUID - SmUUID

• ROM entry should be set to yournetwork card's MAC address, without separators (e. g.:,-).

¹ For Catalina and newer you can also useMacPro7,1 if you have some issues (e. g. unfixable DRMs).

² For Catalina and older useiMac14,2.

5. You should update your BIOS to the latest version and configure it appropriately. SeeBIOS Settings for details.
6. Remember to verify your hardware and apply appropriate changes to your configuration file. SeeHardware Compatibility for details.
7. Map your USB ports withUSBToolBox. Guide about it is availablehere. You have to do it from Windows.
8. That's it! Now you can boot macOS installer.

9. Copy your EFI directory onto your main drive EFI partition, you'll be able to boot the system without your bootable USB.
10. ApplyRyzen patch script - it solves MKL (Math Kernel Library) issues and sets correct sleep parameters.
11. If you haveUnknown instead of your CPU name in About this Mac go toPlatformInfo -> Generic -> ProcessorType in your configuration file. Set it to3841 if your CPU has 8 or more physical cores, else set it to1537.
12. When everything work you can disable verbose mode - then you will see Apple's logo instead of logs while booting. To do it you have to remove-v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 fromboot-args in your configuration file.

In general, enabling Bootstrap is not required, but it will protect your OpenCore from being overriden.
Remember to do not enable Bootstrap on pendrive - do it only after copying OpenCore to your disk's EFI.

13. Go toMisc -> Boot -> LauncherOption in your configuration file and set it toFull.
14. Reboot your computer.
15. Reboot PC again and go to your BIOS settings. In boot options you will see new boot entry namedOpenCore. Set BIOS to boot from it, instead of your drive.
16. It's done!

¹ If you have this option in BIOS you must also removenpci=0x2000 fromboot-args in your configuration file.

Some of these options may not exist in your firmware, just try to match it as closely as possible.

Before booting macOS remember to update BIOS to the latest version.

To switch to another patch look formtrr_update_action inconfig.plist. Then setEnabled totrue for the patch you want to use. Remember to setEnabled tofalse on the other PAT patch. Do not try to enable both at the same time, trust me, it won't work.

Some applications for macOS use MKL - Math Kernel Library. Unfortunately, it does not work on AMD CPUs natively - we need to patch it withthis script.

There's alsointel_fast_memset instruction which, obviously, doesn't exist on AMD systems. It's very common in Adobe software - you can simply fix it by runningthis script. Older versions of Adobe software (e. g. up to 22.3.1 for Photoshop) need it'slegacy version. For details about Adobe patching check thead onmacos86.it.

If you have problems while running script from file, try to copy and paste it's code to Terminal.

DRMs are fixed by default only for Big Sur and newer versions. For older versions you have to:

1. Removeunfairgva=1 fromboot-args in your configuration file.
2. Gohere to find correct value for your system.
3. Add parameter fromMode toboot-args in your configuration file.
   • If parameter from chart does not work tryshikigva=80 orshikigva=16 - it's common to work even when chart says something another.
4. Test DRMs with Netflix in Safari or Apple TV+.

Firstly, check if your sleep works out of the box. If it works, you can skip reading this section.

The most common reason of broken sleep on AMD systems are USB problems.
You have to map your USB ports. If you have working Windows instance I recommendthis tool, otherwise you have todo it manually.
After mapping remember to disableKernel -> Quriks -> XhciPortLimit in your configuration file.

If USB fixes does not help, probably something another is broken. You can read more detailed guide about it onDortania.

• Make sure you haveSVM enabled in your BIOS settings.

¹ Parallels will not work by default on Big Sur and newer, you need to useSYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1 environment variable.

² Usethis launcher package to simplify the Parallels usage.

³ Only Windows 10 Anniversary Update (build 1607) or older systems work.

You shouldn't add too much resources to your virtual machines, as it causes performance issues regardless of your hardware.

Use the following configuration for best results.

• Parallels Desktop 13.1
• 4 CPU cores
• 4GB - 8GB RAM
• 1GB VRAM
• 3D Acceleration: DirectX 9
• OS: Windows 7 (SP1, build 7601) with Aero theme disabled.
