    Catalina-Sonoma systems on Non "Metal" Macs.

    I have an Imac 2011 27'' with a Radeon 6770 512Mb card. We normally use MacBooks at home.

    Will Open Core Legacy patcher still work when there are no more Intel Macs?

    Greetings! I use an M1 MacBook Air, so I have no need to patch my Mac to the latest OS. However, I am just curious if OCLP will still work when Intel is completely dropped. Apple is likely to rewrite stuff to make it run exclusively on Apple Silicon.
