    Hello guys, I installed opencore legacy patcher on my MBP 2017 13" Intel-based (function keys) a few weeks ago and used Sonoma that way. Everything went smooth, even though it was my first time doing something like that in the macos-roam. I decided to remove opencore legacy patcher and get back...

    I cannot get macOS to boot in recovery mode with OpenCore Legacy Patcher(1.2.0,1.2.1,1.3.0). I usually use OCLP to use Ventura, but when I installed Monterey to try it out, even Monterey could not boot in recovery mode with OCLP. I can boot in recovery mode with OpenCore, which I configured...

    OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.1.0 now okay on 2017 MacBook Pro?

    OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) 1.0.0 made macOS Sonoma available to many Macs that could run Ventura but had been dropped from the list of supported machines able to run Sonoma. One big exception were several 2017 Mac models with a T1 chip. I just discovered that OCLP 1.1.0 has been out for...

    [Solved] Boot Logo issues with OpenCore Legacy Patcher on MacBookPro11,4 (mid-2015 15")

    Hi guys, Not sure whether this is an OpenCore issue or OpenCore Legacy Patcher issue, but I'm thinking it could probably be an OC issue. So I'm running Sonoma 14.1 on a MacBookPro11,4 with OCLP. Problem: the boot logo (Apple logo) is displayed BEFORE the boot picker, and not displayed when it...

    Resolved 2012 rMBP 15" crashing on Sonoma using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.1

    I am not sure if there is a better place to post this (The OCLP Github page does not allow to submit any feedback), so I will try here. Using the latest available version of OCLP 1.0.1 and updated my 2012 rMBP 15" to Sonoma which worked great. But now it ends up crashing at least once a day...

    Just installed a Sonnet McFiver PCIe Card in my 5,1 Mac Pro running Monterey 12.6 with OCLP v0.6.8 and was wondering if there is a fix for the 10gbs ethernet. I see that Martin Lo's most recent Open Core has one but again I'm running OCLP. I saw Jazzzny' post with the .kext files but I'm not...

    I had some problems installing Monterey using OCLP 0.6.5. I think the problems were due to me not following the instructions. I should have: created the target disk as macOS journaled extended. I think I originally created the boot disk disk as APFS (?). Also, I think the RX580 video card was...
