Maybe you could share a torrent/magnet link? I'm sure lots of people will be willing to seed it. Could save you bandwidth
That would be amazing
Great move to have
EDIT: it failed as well.
But first on to the patcher version 1.2.1.
No, will try that, thanks.

Alright, finally... Version 1.2.1 of Mojave Patcher is released, which will now download the latest official release of Mojave. Due to extreme load on my server, I had to offload the DMG to a Google Drive link, so that's what you'll be using when downloading from my webpage.
I have a Mac Pro that the Patcher says is natively supported, but which Mojave itself refuses to install on because I use a GT 120 in OS X as a backup card. Will I have to use the Patcher to create an installer, and then use the Legacy Video Card Patch to get OS X actually working? But how will I even see the installation process (and therefore be able to click on anything) if it won’t understand my GT 120 during the installation? This will all be resolved, assumedly, post install 1. due to the patch and 2. due to the fact that I use a GTX 980 for all purposes other than installing updates. But getting through the install will be the problem.
yes it has light mode glitches but I have been testing a hybrid patch from pkouame and jackluke which is really impressive
"Currently" means that there is a possibility that AMD Radeon HD 5xxx series GPU will be better supported in future?
I have a Mac Pro 3.1 with an Ati Radeon HD 5770 Card and before installing Mojave i would like to be sure that my card can work well on my system. I haven't enough money to change my video card so it would be fantastic to know that you are working to implement this feature in your next releases.
I got the same message so I rebooted my Mac and it worked
What's new in this patch, aside from updating the script to download Mojave? Can I officially download Mojave and install by patcher 1.2.0 or do I need to make a pendrive with patcher 1.2.1 only?
Once again, thank you very much for everything.
hi all and thank you very much dosdude1.
installation worked very well on my MacbookPro5,5 (Nvidia 9400m), the only bug i discovered are some weird black lines around menu-windows (and pretty much every other Window, some more or less disturbing). can anyone confirm that, or was it mentioned here before? I guess there's no fix for that but maybe you want to add it to your list of known issues... Anyway thanks a lot.
e: oh ok, it's in the starting post, i see

FWIW I had nothing but problems with the 5770 on my 3,1 with High Sierra so I ended up getting a GTX 680. In hindsight, probably a good move.
The writing is on the wall with those old cards, I don't see Apple making this very easy for those with non-Metal cards. Even if the community gets support running for those older cards, a future update could brick it anyway. Mojave wants a metal capable card, I don't see a whole lot of options around that. At least with the Mac Pros, you can get a 680 for around $250, it's an upgrade well spent if you want to breathe some life into your 3,1.
Mojave is currently working well on my 3,1 + 680, dare I say better than HS. (My FaceTime Logitech C920 is not working with it though, still investigating that but everything else is running buttery smooth thus far.)
By booting your hdd/ssd in the APFS format if boots natively then you d not need the APFS Rom patcher and depends on the year of your Mac
Has anyone tried using a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
I'm very angry that my 8core i7 will be abandoned to itself shortly.
4 mac left to abandon.. Thousands of euros in the toilet

Sure, but it would be nice to know beforehand, because how do you patch it if you can't boot?
on the first page of this thread
[doublepost=1537825297][/doublepost]
so far with the post install patches
[doublepost=1537825426][/doublepost]
As far as I know you could have a 2018 MacBook Pro or a 2015 iMac so those are APFS bootable or you could have a 1995 pent 486 computer without giving us any info on what you have we have to assume> You can format your hdd/ssd with APFS in recovery mode if it boots fine then you know but if it doesn't you need to format it extended journaled (HFS) and apply the APFS boot rom patcher which is very risky

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) with
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Did you install the patch and upgraded from the App store without installing from scratch?

oh noooooOOOOOOoooOOOoooo
"AMD Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx series GPU acceleration: Currently, it is not possible to get full graphics acceleration when running Mojave on a system with a Radeon HD 5xxx or 6xxx series GPU. This includes the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3). If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD GPU. Weird colors will also be produced when running Mojave with one of these video cards installed/enabled."
Thank You. I had problems with the creation of the pendrive with Patcher 1.2.1, I was able to create the installer correctly only with Patcher 1.2.0
Mine said was unable to mount so I tried rebooting m iMac and it worked but the install did take a bit I am downloading the newest version of the Mojave Patcher sow going If my Grandma had wheels she'd be a wagon lol
