- Platform Datas (SN, ROM, UUID) used here are ALL FAKE. So, you need to regenerate them.
- Don't use Patched DSDT-SSDT if you have different BIOS version (need to configure config.plist - ACPI section)
- To boot with Clover UEFI, you need to configure BIOS (Press Esc when mach power on > Select Setup):
- Go to "Boot" menu and make sure that "UEFI Boot" option is "Enabled"
- Select Add New Entry
- Give it a name (for example: clover) and locate path to EFI Partition
- Set Clover entry (w/o quotes) as: "\efi\clover\cloverx64.efi"
- Confirm the changes by pressing "Create", then use it as 1st boot entry
- Alternatively follow This Method for manually add entry via UEFI Shell (bcfg boot add XX).
- To get GT 520M working under macOS 10.14.x, use /Extras/CoreDisplay binary and place to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreDisplay.framework/Versions/A - Install /Extras/AirPortAtheros40.kext to SLE using Kext Utility for a working AR9285 Wifi under 10.14.
- Install /Extras/AppleIntelSNB~.kext to SLE using Kext Utility for a working Intel MEI under 10.14.
