![]() Keep in mind with ist in OpenCore, they are different from Clover’s ists. Here's what mine looks like (ignore my odd choice of kexts): Please note that UEFI drivers are not supported with OpenCore! efi drivers from AppleSupportPkg and AptioFixPkg into the drivers folder and kexts/ACPI into their respective folders. To setup OpenCore’s folder structure, you’ll want to grab those files from OpenCorePkg and construct your EFI to look like the one below: You'll notice that once we open the EFI partition, it's empty. Next we'll want to mount the EFI partition on the USB with either mountEFI or Clover Configurator. There is no real size requirement for the USB as OpenCore's entire EFI is less than 5MB. All you need to do is format it as MacOS Journaled with GUID partition map. Keep a backup of your Clover based EFI.Ĭreating the USB is simple. You must remove Clover from your system entirely if you wish to use it as your main boot-loader.Knowledge of how a hackintosh works and what files yours requires.USB formatted as MacOS Journaled with GUID partition map.plist files ( OpenCore Configurator is another tool, but vit9696 has stated multiple times he does not support these tools and they even break OpenCore's specifications. mountEFI or some form of EFI mounting.As of writing we're on Version 0.0.3 even though the current official release is 0.0.1) OpenCorePkg (Recommend to build from scratch instead of using the prebuilt package as OpenCore is constantly being updated.Sometimes can't access other partitions on the drive, solution is to "bless" the drive with Startup Disk.NVMe issues if setup as a SATA device in BIOS.VoodooPS2Controller needs to be injected first, Keyboard second and Mouse/Trackpad third.FakeSMC sensors can't be injected, alternative is HWSensors3 or VirtualSMC sensors.Support for ist has been added to OpenCore's most recent commit Currently minimal support for emulated NVRAM (sorry z390 users, EmuVariableRuntimeDxe may work but won't save on reboot).Z97 based systems require pure UEFI mode for booting (also known as Windows 8/10 mode).If you have a working, stable system you should not migrate unless you prefer "bleeding edge" development, want to contribute, and don't mind recovering your system should it fail to boot. OpenCore should be considered in Alpha stage at this time. This specific guide will be omitting ist and Vault.sig as there's still quite a bit of development happening there. Please remember we’re still in very early infancy so there will be issues. It is not only for Hackintoshes as it can be used for other purposes that require an emulated EFI. ![]() ![]() By design, OpenCore is versatile by being more modular and open as it aims to resolve the constraints and issues that Clover brings. Seriously thank you all for checking out this guide, over 1500 users have vistited this guide and to think that even a fraction of that could find this guide useful What is OpenCore? This guide has now been deprecated, for those who wish to follow a more up to date guide can follow the OpenCore Vanilla Desktop Guide.
