macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

Yes, my setup here actually gets the 14.6.04 installer, also on unsupported machines (don´t own supported ones yet ;-))
I really don't understand how Mojave Patcher 1.3.3 could be non-deterministic on which version of the full installer that it downloads.
adios 32 bit End of the Mojave trail. Patcher 1.3.3 all the way. Catalina is IOS on the Mac.

For running no risk, do it with 1.3.3.
I just applied the supplemental update for 10.14.6 to my HackBookPro6,2. No additional patches were required. System behavior appears to be unchanged. Just to be safe, I performed a full system backup (Carbon Copy) prior to applying the update. I applied the update following standard System Preferences > Software Update.
Hi all,
Recently I've bought a refurbished Mid 2011 Mac Mini, runs a clean High Sierra install. I wanted upgrade to Mojave. I made the installer USB drive with dosdude1's Mojave patcher under High Sierra. When I wanted to load the installer from the Clover menu, it takes 20-25 min till the grey line goes to the end, then it hangs, and install menu not appear. What did I missed?
Or should I skip Mojave, and try to install Catalina instead?

Hi,
What is Clover and why do you think you need it to install Mojave? I installed Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina on a late 2008 unibody MacBook and obviously still don't know what Clover is.
I erased my pendrive under High Sierra, and did an usb istaller with mojave patcher, and boot with pressing alt, I could choose my install pendrive named OS X base system. Then after a while, an other menu appear with black background, and I see three drive, the High Sierra, the recovery, and the usb install. And this menu is the clover (green flour-leaf clover icon).
Might be the pendrive wasn't erased fully, and some efi partition remained?

(Not sure if cross-posting is a rules violation, but just in case there are lurkers here who don't visit the Catalina thread: )
I've been away from Mac development for a few months, but now I'm back.
Guinea Pigs Beta Testers Wanted
Some months ago, I created an SSE 4.2 emulator for the Mac Pro 3,1 (and potentially older systems as well). I didn't get to broadly test or release it before my focus had to shift elsewhere. It's been in more or less daily use here, mostly on Mojave, but it's also been tested (at least briefly) on High Sierra and Catalina Beta 7. It allows newer AMD video cards to run full Metal.
It's only ever been tested on my one Mac Pro 3,1, with my one AMD RX 570 video card. I'd like to test it on a broader sample of machines/video cards before throwing it out for public use. So, if you have a Mac Pro 3,1, a newer (metal-compatible) AMD video card, and some time to spare, send me a DM/PM/Whatever-they-call-private-messages-on-this-forum and I'll send you the package. NOTE: The installer is still a work in progress, so if you're not comfortable copying files to /S/L/E and invalidating the cache, we both might be better served if you wait for the full release.
Thanks in advance. (Here's where I find out if I'm one of the last three or four MP3,1 users in existence...)

Clover is a boot loader that you would typically use on a "hackintosh" (a PC running MacOS) - not on a genuine Apple Macintosh. Are you sure you are booting from your pen drive? When you first booted High Sierra on your newly acquired Mac Mini (without the pen drive), did you see the Clover menu?
EDIT: If you are certain that you are booting from your pen drive, then your guess about not completely erasing the pen drive (including the EFI partition) is a good guess.
Anyone else having issues with hardware video acceleration like I noted above in this long thread, here is what I did to fix it.
First, I did a complete bone stock internet recovery of High Sierra and got that set up as I like it. I verified that the GPU was active, and then I downloaded the latest DosDude patcher and latest Mojave, and did an in place upgrade. The GPU is now active for me.
Mac mini 5.1

Isn't it because we use AppleGVA.framework from High Sierra in our Mojave installs?
I've installed Mojave a while ago on an old 2009 MacMini... and everything worked...
BUT since then I've stuck at Mojave 10.14.1 -- no update of Mac OS worked so far.
I've reinstalled the Patcher... and all the patches... but my mac tells me that it is with "10.14.1" on the latest version.
Do I have to reinstall/overwrite the mac whenever a new Mac OS Version is issued?

Well, I made a Catalina install USB, but it sucked in the process. Then I made a web recovery, but it is only install Lion. So I've do a Mojave install USB, but after 17, and a 35 min install, then a post-install, it won't boot without the installer USB. I've formatted the disk to APFS.
Try this - Shut down your Mac, then turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Option, Command, P, and R. Let the Mac "bong" three times, release the Option, Command, P, and R keys and immediately hold the Option key until you are presented with all of the bootable media on that Mac, using the arrow keys the USB patcher or any disk can be selected, hit Return.
With HFS+ yep. Using the latest 1.3.3 patcher 10.14.6 can be installed on top of 'dot one' without losing anything.
It came with High Sierra, but I forgot to check, that the filesystem was HFS+ or APFS.
How many times I have to run the install, before I run the post-install? At first, it takes 17min, second 35min, every time than I've press alt to choose drive for booting, only yellow os base system appear (USB drive). When after the post-install (third run) I want select boot drive only USB seen. If I unplug it before reboot, only flashing folder seen.
