Excellent news : since the new nightly build of OCLP, the Preview bug disappeared on my iMac 13.2 and Ventura 13.4 beta! Kudos to the developers!!

My personal experience with OCLP.
Since Big Sur I always installed any nightly or official release on my main internal SSD.
It always boots all partitions of the internal SSD and the ones of the original Apple HDD.
I always do a USB stick only with the related macOSversion to install without OCLP cause, it is my personal opinion, is useless, as I have it to boot everything on my internal disk.
Somebody tells me that hold more Macs nothing changes, I have 3 a1347 Mac mini late 2012 I install just the update on everyone and if I have different Macs is the same I will do stick only with os.
Never had problems.
Build and install is to have bootloader on EFI partition of an internal SSD or HDD, it will boots every partition in a Mac also on different disks.
Post install is related to specific partition in fact you we can patch only the partition in use in a specific moment.
After post patch that doesn't boot the updated system I just reboot pressing shift-enter and I enter in safe mode and revert patch...It always works, I have done thousand of times.
If I like to boot a system partition that boots also without OCLP I just press option on keyboard the only thing that I have to remember is if I like to Boot systems from Mountain Lion to Sierra(excluded) I am obliger to disconnect Thunderbolt HUB that is not allowed on this systems.
 
Apologies if this has already been answered but:

Is anyone running 13.3.1 with OCLP 0.6.2, or is the nightly .3 build needed for stability reasons? Just want to check before I update from 13.3.

iMac late 2013 14,2 Nvidia GT755M Ventura 13.3
With the latest OCLP V063n update April 7th and after applying the patches (Haswell & Kepler) I can connect now(1) via the login screen without any problem.
Thanks to the developers for all the work done 👍

(1) before latest update OCLP
the login screen disappears (black screen with keyboard and mouse BT: OK) and reappears (keyboard and mouse BT: KO) and this without stopping alternately.
 
Hi guys
I need your help. iMac 12.1 Xeon 1270, m2000m 4Gb (Maxwell) and OpenCore 0.6.2
I installing Monterey, everything is installed. But when loading a black screen. I boot in safe mode, apply root patches in OpenCore - nothing changes, the screen is still black. I am attaching a screenshot and my plist, advise what to do?
config file - rename without txt
PS High Sierra work exellent with WebDrivers NVIDIA
PPS Use OCLP 0.6.3 - nothing changes, the screen is still black. I install Ventura - everything is the same, only I can not enter safe mode

Non-supported video card drivers are still a long way from being perfect.

If you don't know (apologies if you do), Maxwell cards are not supported in Mojave or newer (patched or not-patched) as they require NVIDIA Web Drivers, which Apple doesn't support anymore. While you can run these cards with newer releases of OCLP thanks to huge amounts of work being done on unsupported cards/chips, it is not polished yet and can still have some bugs.

Do you still have your original MXM card? I know it's not supported either, but it will be an AMD card, which play way better with modern macOS releases.

Yes, i have AMD 6770M 512Mb

Ventura worked on it. I watched several videos where Maxwell and Pascal cards were included in the .plist settings, I do the same settings and nothing happens. There are two options - either wait for Maxwell support in OCLP or replace the GPU with AMD?

MBP11,3 + macOS Ventura 13.3.1 + OCLP 0.6.3n = Preview now correctly opens images and Blender works again: very good, indeed! Now, re-enable AMFI (and also LV, if possible)… :cool::)

(Continuity Camera in FaceTime still freezes, however: and with any GPU setting - dynamic switching, integrated only and discrete only - in gSwitch or gfxCardStatus.)

Just updated to 13.3.1 (OCLP 0.6.3 nightly) on my 2015 15".

Update went alright however since the update, Markup/Screenshot Editor no longer displays the image being worked on. Quick Look works when not in markup mode.

Final Cut Pro still has a bug which means I cannot use it; viewer shows nothing. Has been occurring since the update to 13.3.
 
^^^ It should hopefully be possible for AMFI (otherwise, sadly, it will be necessary to return to Monterey, for virtualisation users); as for Library Validation, they said in the beginning that they would research other patches, in order to try to mitigate the problem: so, let’s hope well also here - we’ll see, anyway…

I have done an experiment:

Earlier today I rebuilt OpenCore and applied the patches using the latest nightly as of today, while remaining on 13.2.1 (since reports for 13.3.1 were positive, I was getting ready).

Right now I deleted both copies of the patcher and redownloaded it. It's in my Downloads folder, of course.

Normally I would then move it to Applications but for now I will run it as-is and see what happens.

Upon launch it verifies, then opens but does not replicate itself anywhere.

Same after moving to Applications.

I bet if I were to Build and Install OpenCore again, the patcher would replicate to Application Support, but since I already did that earlier, I won't do it again right now. And perhaps because I did exactly this earlier, that's where the same-date/same-version copy came from.

The OpenCore-Patcher application “replicates” itself to /Library/Application Support/Dortania (and creates an alias in /Applications) only if you install the root patches: at least, that has been my personal experience, so far…

(BTW, what is “Dortania”? A flower? A sword? Both? Just curious…)

I've just asked that on Discord. Let's see if there is hope.
