Try the "-no_compat_check" option in NVRAM (set from terminal, i.e. from recovery)
something seems to go wrong with 0.1b9:
the post install App dont open when installed to usb nor HD
If I open the post install app inside the patch package without installing to stick / partition it runs
but...
it broke my working 18A326h. KP (log attached) after loading graphics (Mac Pro 3.1, HD5870)
reapplying the patches with 01b8 doesnt get it back.
just restoring my backup now
always recommended, saves time in fiddling with the beast
self replying:
was legacy video, I maybe remember wrong, but I was thinking I checked it with 0.1b8 - putting back my basic install (running without any patches) and reapplying the patches with 0.1b8 without legacy video got it working.
I use the patches to get audio. Still glitchy graphics with HD5870. Next week I can throw a HD2600 in just for curiosity
Thanks for the reply - don't supposed anyone knows where to look for one of these cards as all the results form Google are asking more than £200 for them
MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2010, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
16GB RAM, 480 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD
I tried installing the image with patch on top of macOS High Sierra as an update, but it just booted with the "no entry" sign.
Mine was a Fusion Drive (480 GB + 1 TB); Formatted the Fusion, tried again... same thing...
Then I deleted the core storage, reformatted the drives, converted to APFS and just installed macOS Mojave on the SSD alone.. then it worked.
is it something to do with the fusion drive..??
Only issue so far... the iSight camera doesn't work; and the automatic brightness as well I guess...
Kudos to dosdude1 and team.

About £100 here—already flashed for Mac Pro.
Where ru in UK?

After 30minutes of figuring out why it doesn't work successfully booted into Mojave. (I need to fix that font, its really bad.) Thanks to @dosdude1
--EDIT: Takes nearly 3minutes to boot on SSHD (40s on High Sierra)--

I take it you can read the Japanese - I've no idea how much it'd cost to ship it from Japan and how long it'd take and the condition it'd be in, so I'm reluctant
Hello guys,
today I started my MB Mid 2010 an got the following message (see attached image). However after a reboot the message disappered and the OS bootet without any problems (btw I use rEFind as my boot manager). I don't know for sure if the error message had to do with the modified Nvidia Kext file but it kinda looks like it.
When I'm working on my MacBook under Mojave it still gets painfully slow at times after 1 hour or so ... Leaving the processes open all the time helps for a smoother experience but eventually I have to shut down the computer via terminal and boot it again in order to get a system I can work with. Is this issue only the case with MB Mid 2010 or also other Macs with Nvidia graphics as I've read not many other replies in regerence to this problem? I might try Mojave on my MB Early 2009 and Mac Mini Early 2009 as well and report back when i have time ...
Best regards

Hi, reinstalled in MacBook Pro mid 2010 with last patcher (b9). Can't define a short (1 character) password. When trying to change password in preferences->users I get this:
Is this only me?

Yes, I use a notes widget that I wrote myself. The things that cause it to go all black are blur effects and transparency. You used to be able to see the desktop "through" a semitransparent widget. Now, you just see black. They haven't updated the widgets. It's a product of the transparency glitches, I assume.

Are you using the most recent version of my nVidia Tesla patch? On the older one, I often experienced that (MacBook7,1). I have yet to see this issue on the new version.
I want to try recent version of your nVidia Tesla patch for my macbook 7,1. Could point me in which post you add it ?
Thank you
I was searching on my phone yesterday and it was still really hard, because the search cuts off some of the posts that are returned as a result. I mean, it's only 105 pages

I was having an issue sometimes where the post patch installer was opening behind the Install macOS window. Do you think that's what's happening to you?
I redownloaded and remade a usb drive, and now it works! I should’ve known that it was corrupted! Thank you for your help though!
I think the last patch I applied was b7. I wasn't aware that there is already an updated version of the nvidia patch. Thanks for the hint I will try it and report back
But dashboard still glitches with Reduce Transparency on.

You can download an install my Patch Updater application, which will keep your system patches up to date. Use the script found here.I think the last patch I applied was b7. I wasn't aware that there is already an updated version of the nvidia patch. Thanks for the hint I will try it and report back
Success on MBP 5,3 from High Sierra using latest patcher and 10.14 beta 3
Install was smooth as silk
no glitches so far - actually better than HS as sleep, display brightness and keyboard light work now !
wifi and bt operational
HFS+ (actually reformatted to HFS+ from APFS before the install - no real need for it)
Thanks @dosdude1 - by far the smoothest install since 10.12. Congrats.
