Yes it work fine here on Mac mini (late 2012) 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7, macOS Monterey 12.1 (21C52)

May I please enquire how you got AirPlay to Mac working on 0.3.1 with Monterey 12.1?

Right now, something with 0.3.2/3 is working badly on my mini6,1 and so I’m staying on 0.3.1 for now.

I had airplay to Mac on 12.0.1, but as soon as I did the update to 12.1 it stopped working (disappeared from sharing options in System Preferences)

I had the same problem and someone in the Big Sur thread told me that the SMBIOS in OC 0.3.2 is set now by default on "None", so you must change it to "Minimal", then building and installing OC again, and you will be fine with OTA updates.

His machine uses the AMD Radeon Pro 570 which is a Polaris GPU. Every OCLP (TUI) version would recognize this GPU and enable the minimal spoofing (according to the OCLP docs and the change log of the most recent versions and my own experiences).

The GUI version has a limited hardware detection built in and I can only repeat: Use the TUI version!

Systems with different GPU types will use the spoof-less VMM approach with 0.3.2 and later - my guess is Apple delayed for unknown reason the updates of virtual machines. This has happened before and got fixed.

Still do not understand why there are some success reports using the spoof-less method.

Hello everyone! Hope this helps someone☺️
I have an iMac mid 2011 21.5 with an upgraded video card to Nvidia Quadro K3100M and so far I have not experienced any problems with installing and using unsupported MacOS through OpenCore Legacy up to this point. Last night I started the system, the computer gave an error about the last unsuccessful shutdown (although everything was fine). Then I discovered that the bar menu was missing, it was also impossible to make any window active, and it was also impossible to print text (for example, in the terminal). Attempts to find the root of the problem were unsuccessful, but I found a temporary solution to the problem:
1. After starting, you need to open Activity Monitor (in my case from Launchpad)
2. To make window active, enter the mission control, then select the desired window
3. After that we will have the opportunity to select the processes and quit it, in our case we need a WindowServer
4. You are great, everything is back in place until the next reboot?

Yes, I am also clueless. I use the TUI version instead of the GUI. The spoofing has been set automatically to minimal.
It is just that no OTA OS update ever appears in Software Update in Monterey, even when set to beta channel.

On the other hand, when I boot to Big Sur on another internal SSD, OTA OS update to 11.6.2 does appear for my 11.6.1 with successful install.

I suspect some further tweaking of OC might be needed in the spoofing to get the OTA update.

iMac12,2 /WX4170 / OCLP 0.3.2N Monterey 12.1 update announced in swupdate pane.
iMac11,3 /RX480 / OCLP 0.3.2 - Monterey 12.1 installed
iMac12,2 /R9 M370X / OCLP 0.3.3 - Monterey 12.1 installed

All systems use minimal spoofing and stock OCLP settings, no manual changes, really do not know what is going on around the world

oh, that might be the key in regard to my minimal spoofing !

An almost 13-y.o. machine running the latest macOS is simply breathtaking. So is the MBP4,1 in its glorious timeless beauty of a fighter plane, performing like a tank.

A beautiful, lyrical description of the MBP4,1. I had one. I mishandled it. I lost it. And I regret the loss still. Your words are like a poem to a truly great machine.

got it sorted.

(OCLP 0.33n stock settings
Mac Pro 5,1 Dual, clean installed Monterey 12.1 (21C52) )

The main problem was: I did the install process with an old GT120 GPU for easy access to the boot screen, to bless OCLP, etc.
After Monterey has booted I swapped the GT120 with a Kepler GPU and rebuilt the OCLP ESP with changed Hardware.

Seems this 2nd post install patch has gone wrong. Clean Re-Installed Monterey with the Kepler Card left in and now the Patches were written correctly

Well I always used the TUI version as recommended of course. Maybe default setting of the SMBIOS must certainly depend on the type of onboard GPU which is Nvidia or AMD. But I can confirm that this option was on "none" weirdly when I downloaded OC 0.3.2, and changing to "minimal" fixed the problem after new OC build and reboot.

Shadow Demon · Dec 16, 2021

With OC 0.3.3, the full software installer works without complaint with SMBIOS set to none. I decided to leave it and all is good. No idea about delta OTA. With my NVIDIA graphics, need the full installer anyway and test the next OTA delta on Big Sut.

OLCP TUI has a hardware detection. Running it delivers the correct correct config.plist, running it applies also the correct patches fitting the needs of the currently detected hardware.

Changing the hardware will need a new config, other patches and so mostly a new installation.

You cannot change the horses in midstream (oder: Du kannst nicht mitten im Rennen die Pferde wechseln!)

missing driver for the Kepler GPU is the answer.

Changing the hardware will need a new config, other patches and so mostly a new installation.

You cannot change the horses in midstream (oder: Du kannst nicht mitten im Rennen die Pferde wechseln!)

I didnt expected there is any kind of patch for such an old GPU like the GT120.

I played with fire and got burned. Just a little and it didnt hurt

But I learned my lesson.

missing driver for the Kepler GPU is the answer.

minimal, it is minimal, sorry!

For the record I had to use Moderate Spoofing in order to get the update to show on 2 different macs. Once installed I went back to spoofless.

Hey there,

I have a MacBook Air 2012 (MacBookAir5,2) and am trying to get Monterey to run on it. It will install the OS and then boot to a grey screen with the apple logo and a progress bar with a mouse and will not go any further; this happens with a fresh install and a Catalina to Monterey upgrade. Any Ideas on how to fix this or move past it.

Cheers

I have a Lenovo Yoga 15 (S5) I revived from the dead. (New motherboard I got a great deal on.).

I bought this Wi-Fi network card which fits the M.2 slot with the right dimensions.

BCM94360NG NGFF M.2 2230 WiFi Card 802.11ac 1200Mbps Adapter for macOS BCM94360CS Wireless Card Original M.2 Card Plug and Play for AirDrop Continuity Handoff Better BCM94352Z DW1560 for Intel NUC

I downloaded the driver from Fenvi from here (Windows 10/11).

The network card and Bluetooth are working very well. I argue the Wi-Fi card is faster than the intel card the laptop came with.

Now getting ready to install macos.

Try OpenCore Legacy Patcher and watch Mr. Macintosh on YouTube.

I installed Monterey 12.1 from a USB stick with OCLP 0.3.4 from scratch.
After installation, I immediately realized that with Monterey my iMac 27 ”CPU i7, late 2013, works 10 times better than with Catalina or Big Sur.
But I ask you, kindly:
is it normal that several times, for two hours or more, the progress bar reaches the middle, stays still for tens of minutes and then starts again? ... When I installed Monterey 12.01 from scratch, instead, with OCLP then, the installation Monterey took about 25 minutes ... Is something wrong? ... Or is this due to the new VMM installation method of OCLP? Thanks

FWIW? OCLP_033R shows all the available updates to this primitive Mini3,1✅
