macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

[0403979]

I want to share an interesting experiment, referred especially to Nvidia 320M owners.

When I observed the IOAccelerator framework behavior, I kept a backup of the one present in Mojave beta 1.

Comparing them I noticed that have mainly different sizes:

IOAccelerator unix exe from Mojave Beta 1 = 70 KB
IOAccelerator unix exe from Mojave Beta 2 = 158 KB

Well I have tried to replace and I noticed an overall better experience, no artifacts, no minimum glitches, and major reactivity in windows, folders and everything else.

Moreover a better characters contrast and transparency effects, bright colors, FaceTime is flowing better.

Sometimes I got some Finder folders autoclose, instead using the previous IOAccelerator from Mojave Beta 1, Finder is more quick and fluid and above all no more unwanted autoclosing windows.

I would suggest to try it, making a backup of your previous (more recent) one.


Here are the steps:

Locate your Mojave path: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IOAccelerator.framework/Versions/A/
- Replace inside this subfolder the IOAccelerator unix exe with the one I have attached.

Trust me you will notice significative improvements, your C2D behaves like an Intel i5 Dual Core. Try to believe.

What is this sorcery?
[doublepost=1531325664][/doublepost]Is there a way to download older versions of the Mojave installer? I need this for testing purposes.

No, I keep the first full Mojave installer app from my first supported Mac beta download.

Dammit, there must be some way.

Install the previously kernel panicky bundle files...
Replace the GeForceTesla.kext's main executable with the one I attached here...
Fix permissions, rebuild kext cache etc...
And boot!

Not QE/CI with this Option please help for QE/CI

Use Legacy Video Card patch from the patcher.

Yes, you can. Edit the SUcatalog from 1013seed to 1013beta on installinstallmacos.py and download 18A314k.

I’m not familiar with the build numbers. Which version is 18A314k?

PB1, btw search is your friend =)

Is there a way to select which version to download or is it just current and first?

but nobody seriously tries to find a solution for AMD cards speak only of nvidia and hd possible that there is no solution for ati amd?

No, you can only download what's available, if Apple already removed something, you can't access it. Download the SUcatalog index and take a look on it.

Where can I find that?

People are searching things that they need for his/her Macs, if you want to run AMD cards maybe it's time to put your hands on it and help yourself.

Apple does NOT keep the old versions on their CatalogURL. Once they remove it, there's no way to get the older version. The Download macOS feature of Mojave Patcher downloads the current release available from the CatalogURL.

@ASentientBot I'm so happy you found that patch! I'm actually going to try to compare it with clientclose function from newer Nvidia drivers, and patch it. I think your patch actually results in a kernel memory leak (nothing is ever freed...)

Yes, but 091-92943 18A314k still available on the 10.13beta SUcatalog. Thats my point.

P.S.: Apple updated from 18A326g to 18A326h on the 10.13seed.

 

[parrotgeek1]

I can see what kind of cake has not yet copied from the right one.

Can you explain this differently?

Please stop asking about this. If a solution is found, it will be posted here.

The current compatibility list:

• Xserve 2008 and later
• Mac Pro 2009 (although, it makes more sense to upgrade it to a 2010/2012 and then install officially)
• iMac Early-2008 to Late-2011 (No acceleration on machines with ATI/AMD GPUs)
• MacBook Air Early/Mid-2009 (works perfectly except for unsupported WiFi modules and UI glitches)
• MacBook Air Mid-2010 to Mid-2011 (works perfectly except for UI glitches)
• MacBook Pro Early-2008 (works perfectly except for unsupported WiFi modules and UI glitches)
• MacBook Pro Late-2008 to Mid-2010 (works perfectly except for UI glitches)
• MacBook Pro Early/Late-2011 13" (works perfectly except for UI glitches)
• MacBook Pro Early/Late-2011 15"/17" (works perfectly except for UI glitches only if AMD GPU is disabled. No acceleration with active AMD GPU.)
  
• Mac Mini Mid-2011 (the HD 3000 variant works perfectly except for UI glitches)
• MacPro3,1 (Early 2008)
• MacBook Late 2008 to Mid-2010 (works perfectly except for UI glitches)

@parrotgeek1 MacBook Late 2008 still has Intel X3100, maybe you want to say MacBook early2009?

I think it should be MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium). I was just thinking of that actually.

 

[dosdude1]

@parrotgeek1 MacBook Late 2008 still has Intel X3100, maybe you want to say MacBook early2009?

No... The Late-2008 MacBook is the MacBook5,1 (the aluminum Unibody MacBook), which has GeForce 9400M. The Early-2008 model is the MacBook4,1, which has the GMAX3100.

 

[AnonMac50]

No... The Late-2008 MacBook is the MacBook5,1 (the aluminum Unibody MacBook), which has GeForce 9400M. The Early-2008 model is the MacBook4,1, which has the GMAX3100.

I believe they also have a white model called Late 2008 that had the Intel GPU. The aluminium models replaced the Black Early 2008.

 

[tsialex]

No... The Late-2008 MacBook is the MacBook5,1 (the aluminum Unibody MacBook), which has GeForce 9400M. The Early-2008 model is the MacBook4,1, which has the GMAX3100.

Totally forgot that MacBook Aluminium Unibody, but we have the polycarbonate Late 2008 with X3100.

 

[dosdude1]

That's incorrect, there was never a "Late-2008" white MacBook, ONLY Early-2008.
