And in fairness to @dosdude1 a big chunk of my frustration in this is with Apple. Clearly these machine could have been natively supported... and weren't. It's just that IMO life is too short to mess with sketchy BS.

In the end I'd rather run something dated but proven on my machine like El Capitan. It did get a serious update in the summer of 2018, so it's really not so dated. But everything works 100%. And I'm also 2 OS versions ahead of minimum browser support for Firefox, which is 10.9. So I'm good for a couple years till I decide to buy a new mini, or go to the dark side.

I love macOS, but am hating the new Apple more each day.

I really apologize that I couldn't help you immediately, but as I said I am currently trying to sort out the instability issue with older nVidia GPUs under 10.14.4. I've been really busy recently, though, and haven't had the time I needed to work on it. I also get a ton of emails about my tools all the time, and a good majority of those are due to people simply not reading the docs. So if you're really not satisfied, I can just refund your donation if that's what you'd prefer.

GeForce 210 works 10.14.4
I'm pretty sure it works on the latest beta 10.14.5

@chris1111 ..Are you saying that with the options you listed here, you also get full graphics support for nVidia (Tesla) maps in Mojave 10.14.5 Beta 2? That would be incredible, because not a single one of the users here has done so far.

I have tried several different devices, on USB and also directly attached via DigitalOut. They are all affected when playing videos in Safari or music in iTunes for example. Playing in Chrome does not exhibit this behaviour and also whenever I blank the screen, the issue goes away.

Is there anywhere a link to the 14.3 installer you are referring? Is it a complete download or can I use the so-called macOS Mojave 10.14.3 Supplemental Update?

Hi, just to jump in here. You're mp5.1 supports Mojave natively and 14.4 final comes with a firmware update to 141.0.0.0.0. You will only get this firmware update if you install from Apple and not using the patcher. I have a lowly mp3.1 so do not know this is relevant but I would be tempted to go for a full install over the top of your present 14.4 using the App Store installer.

I certainly don't want the donation back. I was just frustrated. OS stability and functionality is something I take very seriously.

Also... I never expected an immediate response. I waited about 3 days before I got frustrated. But I do get it... you have your own life to deal with, along with an endless amount of questions to answer I'm sure.

Full respect to you, and no hard feeling on my end. But I will be staying on El Cap till I get a new system.

That is a super-helpful information! I could clone the existing setup to a new SSD and try the full install over that. But I assume, the firmware update cannot be reverted (although I remember, that when I upgraded the first firmware, there was a possibility...)

Has anyone experience (stability or other issues?) with this firmware update? If any of you have any pointers on that I would be very grateful!

Well... I guess my issues are meaningless. I have donated to @dosdude1 and asked for help when I needed it, and got a couple standard answers, and then just got completely ghosted.

It seems that not donating gets you more help. I'm back on El Capitan, and never messing with this sketchy BS again.

Here is a link that you may find useful. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-bootrom-upgrade-instructions-thread.2142418/

However of more interest to you is this link reporting audio problems in 14.4 with mp 4.1 to 5.1 with 2.26 GHz processors. You may want to stay with 14.3 until the problem is found.

10.14.4 should have updated your Boot ROM to 141.0.0.0.0. Did something go wrong during installation?
I would suggest you try to reinstall 10.14.4 and follow the firmware upgrade procedure.
Looks like you have a cMP 4,1 (to 5,1) with stock dual Xeon E5520. So you shouldn't be affected from the 'bricker' firmware update 142.0.0.0.0 that affects the W3... Xeons (Which also only came with the betas).
Have a look for more detailed informations:
https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...10-14-5-dp2-went-back-to-141-0-0-0-0.2132317/

Edit: One thing that just came to my mind:
Go to Utilities, Audio MIDI Setup and change the Format to 48 kHz and 24 Bit.

I wonder if you ran this app inside the Mojave Patcher would it replace jacklukes patched kexts safely in the patcher

I’m the developer of macOS Patcher that could be thought of as a competitor to the Mojave Patcher. Regardless of that, I will defend him on this issue because I believe you are in the wrong. It’s a donation, it’s not required, it’s not pushed, and it’s not stated you will get priority over others in any case. On top of that, this tool (macOS Patcher as well) is a community helped tool and is made in @dosdude1 free time and is provided for free. If you have issues there are many people in this community you can help you. You don’t need to contact someone with an already busy schedule that creates a free tool in his own time when there are others with the skills to help you. If you must contact him then you shouldn’t expect a quick response or an obligation for him to help you. No one here has to do anything for you or anyone else. We do this for fun and in our own time.

I actually completely agree with you. I was simply momentarily frustrated, and posted before thinking.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the amazing patches and support.
I have Macmini3,1 and managed to upgrade the os to 10.14.4 after converting file system to apfs, running the installator and applying the patches from the tool ver 1.3.0

Unfortunately my computer started crashing without a reason.
The crashes are happening at random sequence.

This is the system report.
Could you help me to solve that problem.
Thank you

I actually completely agree with you. I was simply momentarily frustrated, and posted before thinking.

Please see my most recent post to dosdude1 here.

Alright. I see that you’ve made an apology of sorts. I understand your frustration but you have to understand why we do this and when we can. I never actually caught the issue because of all the drama. Has it been resolved or is there something me or anyone else can do?

10.14.4 should have updated your Boot ROM to 141.0.0.0.0. Did something go wrong during installation?
I would suggest you try to reinstall 10.14.4 and follow the firmware upgrade procedure.
Looks like you have a cMP 4,1 (to 5,1) with stock dual Xeon E5520. So you shouldn't be affected from the 'bricker' firmware update 142.0.0.0.0 that affects the W3... Xeons (Which also only came with the betas).
Have a look for more detailed informations:

Thank so much guys! I had a look at all the threads, especially the one "Flacko" linked to and it seems, that either 14.3 is the end of the line for me or I have to go the way of the CPU upgrade, which on a normal PC I would do in a hearbeat, but where I am scared is that complicated process of delidding and also getting the torque right without breaking the CPU tray (which one cannot easily replace here in Germany - I think...).

Edit: One thing that just came to my mind:
Go to Utilities, Audio MIDI Setup and change the Format to 48 kHz and 24 Bit.

I tried already various combinations and settings with some effect but no ultimate success.

Thanks anyway guys! Great help here!!

Keep a copy of that you might have to reapply it if you update again

Oh, I keep copies of everything! :D
[doublepost=1555285093][/doublepost]I have a question and wondering if you've pondered this as well... My backup devices are HFS+ format from back when we all were. Now that I've upgraded to Mojave and APFS, should I reformat my backup devices to APFS as well? I'm wondering about a full recovery in that they are very different filesystems.

Any thoughts?

I had a lot of unnecessary replacements. Cleaned things up to the following list, for full acceleration on MacBook7,1:

from 10.13.6 (same as before):
/S*/L*/E*/NVDAResmanTesla.kext
/S*/L*/E*/NVDANV50HalTesla.kext
/S*/L*/E*/GeForceTesla.kext (with my previous patch)
/S*/L*/E*/GeForceGA.bundle
/S*/L*/E*/GeForceTeslaGLDriver.bundle
/S*/L*/E*/GeForceTeslaVADriver.bundle

plus:
NDRVShim (or alternative*)

plus, from 10.14.3:
/S*/L*/P*F*/GPUSupport.framework
/S*/L*/F*/OpenGL.framework
/S*/L*/F*/CoreDisplay.framework

I don't, however, have brightness control or sleep working yet. Brightness control and sleep are working fine now. I'm not clear on what changed though...

Also, not sure if you and @dosdude1 and co. saw my previous message about it, but it seems that USB patches are no longer necessary for functional keyboard and touchpad, at least on this MacBook.

Please test and report your findings!

* Replacing IONDRVSupport.kext and IOGraphicsFamily.kext will also provide a working _VSLGestalt symbol without the shim kext. However, this now causes some other (non-fatal) errors during boot. Alternately, NVDAResmanTesla.kext itself can be "fixed" to not need the symbol at all by NOP-ing the call to _VSLGestalt and editing the "VSLGestalt" in the string table to a different (existing) function name of the same length (I used "IOLockLock"). However, @parrotgeek1's shim kext is obviously cleaner and simpler than either of these.

Update: Siri and News+ are still crashing. I'm tentatively suspecting some SSE4.2-related shenanigans may be the culprit. I'll investigate further. Flurry is fine though, and I'm not seeing any of the blur-related weirdness that @jackluke (I think?) mentioned earlier.

Finally, to everyone reading this: Hold onto a copy of 10.14.3 if you decide to update. Please.

Can those be replaced into a Mojave Patcher
