macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

[nicksilverstein]

I just tested dosdude1 Patch Tool for Mojave and it appears that it boots on my MacBook Unibody 7,1. As soon as it goes into the installer it loads the Installer but, I can't use the mouse or keyboard and I plugged in a USB Mouse and it didn't work either. Maybe this is helpful? I hope so. I attached a picture of what happened.

This has already been gone over with dosdude1 and from my understanding he has the fix for this issue and will add said fix to the patcher tool once the installed system can be booted on this machine without causing a kernel panic.

Thank you so much for everything you guys have been doing. Do you think there will be any hope for the Late 2009 Mac Mini or the Early 2008 MacBook Pro 17-inch Model? I really hope so.

Hello.
Who can help edit the source code at the source level or somehow patch it.
At attempt of factory GeForce GTX 260 on macos Mojave b2 by replacement of keks from 10.13.5 has reached one of almost successful cases when the system tries to tighten the necessary keksts for my video card but can not load since there is one linked which is not present in the system, it was in 10.13.5 in the IONDRVSupport.kext cue, replacing this cf. of 10.13.5 does not help because there are even more error links.
Who can help in this direction?
[doublepost=1530606447][/doublepost]In general, my attempts at the GeForce GTX 260 factory on macos Mojave 2b were almost successful, both monitors were wound up and the necessary resolution immediately became, but the dead hang after the login screen, that is, as soon as you enter the password to the user immediately hangs, ideas? A picture without friezes, artifacts and other things, that is, the video card is completely wound up, the same is written by the log when loading
[doublepost=1530606488][/doublepost]But I just described the picture that Mojave started up with friezes, everything worked there, video and so on, the sound did not, there were just friezes, artifacts and slideshows when drawing windows, and friezes were also seen on the logon screen, but after replacing the creek friezes and artifacts disappeared on the login screen, and everything is rendered as on 10.13.5.

Thank you to dodude1 and the other developers. Mojave works very well on my mb air 2011. it is really fast and I use it as main os at the moment. So far I didn‘t found any Problems. Now the next plan is, that it will work on my late 2009 imac.

And what's your video card on the old iMac 2009?

And what's your video card on the old iMac 2009?

It‘s an Radeon HD 4850

Help please, by the instructions that there is in the subject, not very much it turned out, because the dummies are not loaded due to an error in linked

Those machines have a defective GPU. No software will fix that, other than disabling the dedicated GPU using my method found here.

Don't want to bother the flow here but I sent you a private message with an urgent request… thank you!

If they weren’t natively supported on High Sierra then they probably won’t be with the Mojave Patcher.

download this multibeast and just install VoodooHDA.
[doublepost=1530602848][/doublepost]
yes. just use our image.
[doublepost=1530602913][/doublepost]
yup

I prepared the installer under High Sierra in my macbook 7,1 mid 2010 (Nvidia 320m) and when booting the installer loads but mouse and keyboard didn't work and also I plugged in a USB Mouse but doesn't work either.
How did you to get them working please ?
Thank you

It’s been talked about in this thread.

Hello!

I am writing English with Google Translate because I am poor at English.

It says it will kernel panic with MacPro 3.1, but is not caused by ATI HD 2600 XT or GeForce 8800 GT?
And maybe try deleting the Bluetooth module and trying it out.

How about trying to start up under Metal supported video card and MacPro 3.1 with Bluetooth 2.1 or later added?

Sincerely,

The farthest I got with the Mac Pro 3,1 2008 model is a black screen with AMD Radeon 7xxx. Will try old drivers for it soon and see if I can go farther. With NVIDiA always a panic at second stage boot. Pointer with gray screen then it panics.

Let me know if you get farther.

I know !
I didn't use dosdude1's patcher but the patched image provided by namyunseong #608.
This is why I asked him this questions
May be he has a solution since he says that it works with macbook 7,1 Nvidia 320M in his post #1454...

I have tried his image with my MacBook7,1 and I was unsuccessful in booting without a kernel panic. I will try this again soon.

Thanks to everyone for the continued work on this.

I've been pigeon-holed into a weird spot where I need my MP 5,1 to boot SL(virtualization isn't satisfactory, as I need to run PPC apps to interface with hardware, and need to do that along side CPU-heavy Intel native apps).

The fact that there are promising developments for getting GPUs that are compatible with both Mojave and SL is promising to me.

I tried to get Snow leopard workstation and server to run natively on my Mac. It panics every time and reboots.

I then tried Parallels Pro v13 and it reboots the installer constantly. They do not see SL Server correctly anymore. Which really sucks.

I then tried VirtualBox. It installs but without any additions, I could not get past 1024x768. vBox does not offer additions for Mac. So kinda defeats the purpose.

I then tried VMWare Fusion 10 and 8

10 on a Mac Pro 3,1 won’t run.
8.5 does run without a Hypervisor. It does have additions so you do have 2d video acceleration plus native Screen Res. Works decent on my 4k display. It’s run fast and will test FreeHand MX on it.

If you need a native box, you get get a 2006 Mac Mini and put an SSD inside it. It’ll scream. I have a few that I am changing the processors and RAM on now. Got em as a side project.

Only SL Server is supposed to run on a VM.

 

[0403979]

I patched image.
it has force-install mode.

but you should edit boot-args by typing this above
(반드시 아래의 코드를 terminal에 입력해주세요.)
sudo nvram boot-args="-no_compat_check"

this is our system requirements
(최소사양-HighSierra랑 동일)

• iMac (Late 2009) 및 이후 모델
• MacBook (Late 2009) 및 이후 모델
• MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) 및 이후 모델
• MacBook Air (Late 2010) 및 이후 모델
• Mac mini (Mid 2010) 및 이후 모델
• Mac Pro (Mid 2010) 및 이후 모델

This is unstable version. please do not use this with your main OS.

How did you patch the installer?

My problem isn't the speed of the OS itself, it's the speed of the software I'm trying to run on it.

I have a 2006 Mini with a T7200 C2D and SSD, but it's actually slower than a dual 2.7 G5 for my purposes. RAM is a real handicap, and having 8gb in the G5 vs. 3.1gb in the Mini(4 actual, 3.1 accessible) make a huge difference. The stuff I'm doing is amazingly fast on my 12 core 5,1, and I can run programs like PS6 that can eat up RAM.

Even though CS4(PS4) can only address 3gb on my G5, it's still a lot faster than a Mini since I have enough RAM that I can give it a full 3gb. With 32gb in the 5,1, I can give PS6 as much as it needs and it's fast enough that stuff like lens correction operations on a 200mb file happen in a few seconds(not 15 minutes like on a 2006 Mini or 5 minutes on the G5). It takes software like Nikon Scan or Epson Scan-even though they only use 1 core(and are what I need Snow Leopard to run)-processing times of under a minute on big files where they take several minutes on a 2006 Mini or G5.

BTW, another deal-killer for me on the 2006 Mini is that I can only run one monitor off of it. Also, the GMA950 is terrible and AFAIK Photoshop can't use it for GPU acceleration.

As I said, for a lot of reasons, virtualization isn't an option. Yes, I have VMWare 8 on my Macbook Pro 9,1 and have an SL Server VM. I can't pass through the Firewire ports, and that's another critical piece of the puzzle for me.

I also tried his image, it worked on a MB Air 2011, but without proper acceleration and sound - and it is the first beta, not the second. Finally discarded it and went with dosdude1´s installer and the second beta. Works fine and is already my main OS on the MB Air.

VoodooHDA is not a real solution. It was a workaround that we used back in the Mavericks/Yosemite Unsupported Mac threads from the Hackintosh community but you'll easily find that it is rather annoying to configure and work with on actual Mac hardware.

You'll be better off finding Audio Kexts from previous versions of macOS that could work in Mojave.

Please let us know if you make any progress! I also have an iMac 2009 (the Core i7 version with Radeon 4850).

I'm hoping that if you guys get the 2008 Mac Pro working there might be hope for the 2008 MacBook Pro. It works great with the High Sierra Patcher from dosdude1. So I'm still hopeful that it will be possible.

I don’t know why my Eight 2008 Mac Pro will not install Snow Leopard because my quad core 2008 came with it preinstalled so I know it will run it. Will do some testing with it and see if I can get it working natively. I might try installing 10.6.3 upgrade to 10.6.8 and clone it to the Mac Pro. I am guessing that latest will run.

 

[FlorisVN]

@Starplayr

Maybay its because of your graphics card, which is not supported in SL..
Have you upgraded your graphics card in your MacPro 2008 for example.. ?

 

[applCore]

So what's the installation status now with 10.14 current ßeta on a 2009 hacked firmware (so it's a 2010) Mac Pro with a Radeon RX 480? Anyone know if this can be straight installed yet or do we need to use workarounds as per non-supported Macs?
