Yep! Not sure about newer cards, but HD2400 and 2600 now work perfectly!
That’s great to hear! I was thinking about picking up an iMac for the heck of it. Even if Acceleration breaks for some weird reason if it has Core i processors can the internal GPU be used or is it not included or disabled?

[doublepost=1531454888][/doublepost]If you need a tester for HD5670 or HD4870, I'm standing by!
Nice, care to detail the process? Would like to try it on my 2011 iMac.
It didn't work on my 2011 iMac with an firewire 400 drive formatted with APFS. I did get it installed on my internal drive. I didn't bother to try HFS+ on the external drive as the graphics problems were bad enough to make me loose interest.
Unfortunately, I found that this ONLY works on Radeon HD 4XXX series and older... Still not sure what the issue is with the newer cards. The patches for the older cards will be included with the next release of Mojave Patcher.
Who cares about legacy AMD, what about AMD HD 3000 ? I have nothing wrong with my chip. No offence to those with legacy, just its not right what Apple did.
Uh, you do know that your HD 3000 is legacy.
Secondly, I registered here to thank you for such amazing work dosdude1. I got an iMac 9,1 in the mail today, with the BTO HD 4850, and I knew I wasn't going to run Mojave (I'm on High Sierra right now thanks to you.), until you came up with this. I'm excited to try it out.
Could you update the front post to display which now work and which still don’t?
I'm sure it'll be updated when the patcher is updated. It reflects the current download.
I've got an old iMac 2009 with Core i7, 16 GB of RAM, 500 GB SSD (APFS) and an HD 4870 just begging for this!
Just updated! Go ahead and give it a try.
Yes, the update will be pushed out there momentarily.
I will ask again, care to detail the process? Wondering if there are any clues for making acceleration work on Radeon 5000 or 6000. I have both of these available to test possible solutions.
I appreciate the effort you're putting in to get Mojave working on older Macs.
when you upgrade to ssd maybe increase ram to 4gb or 8 gb my iMac 8,1 run slow with 3gb of ram and the fans are loud so will increase the ram soon

Good advice, I do this maxing out the RAM with all my gadgets, but unfortunately - here it´s soldered and not upgradeable. I had this machine running under High Sierra with internal HD, too slow for any real-life use, but with SSD it´s now quite ok - so I expect Mojave to behave very similar in terms of resource usage ;-)
It actually just ended up being some kexts I missed copying from High Sierra (ATI*.*). They are responsible for Radeon HD 4xxx and older acceleration.

Patch Updater is an automated way to always ensure your machine has the latest updates to system patches as they are developed. (Also, if you're receiving errors when installing updates via Patch Updater, run this script as well. It fixes a bug that causes these errors).
