    What can I do with my 2006 Core2Duo MBP?

    Clarification: 17" 2006 MacBook Pro Intel Core2Duo 2.33gHz (I think) Tldr; my 2006 Core2Duo MBP is useless because MacOS patchers only work with 2007 and later macs. Could I replace the cpu with a newer one to 'convert' it into a 2008 MBP? Alternatively, are there any web browsers that allow me...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Webcam issue on 5,1 after running patcher

    The external webcam on my 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 is not working at the moment. Just displays black. It's a long story, but I'll try to be as brief as possible. As you know, in order to upgrade to Mojave on this unsupported Mac, you need to run a patcher. I went through the process and installed...

    List of Apple Arcade games which work on non-metal Macs

    I decided to test out and try to document which Apple Arcade games work on early Intel, non-Metal Macs running Catalina unofficially. For some reason, not all games are made for the Metal API, which means that some work surprisingly well. Some also used to work, but no longer do (Crossy Road...

    APFS ROM Patcher

    Since @dosdude1 released the APFS ROM Patcher utility, has anyone used it to successfully enable APFS in their unsupported Mac's ROM? Has anyone been adventurous enough to try and fail? I've searched and searched and it is hard to find success and fail stories and I hope there could be a central...

    Adobe Premiere hardware acceleration not working on Mojave after patcher update from High Sierra...

    I'm pretty sure before I updated to Mojave from High Sierra on my 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1) I had hardware GPU acceleration working in Adobe Premiere. I'm assuming this is an effect of having to patch the video card drivers in the Mojave patcher, though I could just be misremembering it from also...
