macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

My impression was that the great hurdle was AVX2. Now that that's been leapt, any news on whether non-metal graphics may happen also?

As stated on the GitHub repository, non-metal is being hondered by a bunch of factors this year (as we expected, with macOS Ventura bringing forward a new graphics stack). The main issue area is WindowManager, Ventura’s new application for controlling windows, spaces, etc. moving calls that were originally in SkyLight (a framework non-metal Macs have patched and downgraded). Due to this, the current non-Metal patches won’t work as is and will require heavy modifications to work on Ventura.

Watched this Macrumors review of M2 MBA


One of the comments mentions a M1 MBA with 8GB RAM had extremely high SSD swap usage.

Makes me wonder what running Monterrey (and hopefully someday Ventura) on my 2011 MBA with 4 GB RAM is doing to the old Samsung SSD. I haven't bothered to see just how much swap it's using - when it gives up the smoke, oh well. Anyone out there have their SSD give out yet since OCLPing?

Having issues that could well be that. Container disk gets corrupted, can not be repaired so wipe and new install is required. Happened maybe 7-8 times in the last year since I updated to Monterey on my rMBP 10,1. Could be something else too I guess but my suspicion is that the swapping is too much for the generic cheap 1tb SSD in there.
Also deleting the old swap files has solved it a few times. Does not happen on other Macs I use.

You're referencing the rMBP?

my early 2013 8gig pro with the stock ssd is way slower in terms of booting the os up since upgrading to big sur and then to monterey {takes almost a minute}, but for now all the software i tried still reports that the SSD is in good health, swap is pretty low when doing regular tasks. The only time I've seen it go high is when I was video editing and doing other tasks meanwhile.

Count me. Why -> security reasons mainly. Good example might be recent Monterey 12.5.1 update, which for Big Sur devices came only in form of Safari update.

Genuine question - is there any extra security exposure from the SIP changes needed for OCLP, that would outweigh the legit macOS updates?

Hopefully, Skylake doesn't need root patches at all, but my (very early) research has stopped because I no longer have access to a Skylake Mac for testing.

If anyone is willing to offer up a Skylake machine (iGPU only models) for development, please get in touch.

Would testing on a MacBook 8,1 help you at all? I realize that's Broadwell, not Skylake.

OCLP 0.5.0... MacBook Pro Early 2015 Retina A1502 - working with spoof as Intel HD 4000 in opencore 0.8.4 (OpenCore-Patcher.app).

After change image.thumb.png.bbc6868a760bb11dd60ddd6f8f20f2cb.png
And installing Kernel Debug Kit 13.0 Beta 6, disable AMFI boot-args (amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1), start OpenCore-Patcher.app (0.5.0) and install root patches

After boot:

Everything is working.

Anyone still on Ventura build 5286j can find the Kernel debug kit here.

edit: Just tried @fernando.c.neves steps with that build/Kdebug combo. Seems to patch alright with OCLP0.5.0 for Kepler on my MP3.1 but does not finish booting after that. No reset/reboot, but just no login. (Might be some error on my side or just the combination of MP3.1/Kepler GPU.)
Will try again with latest build combination...

No issue patcher
My Steps : Put my EFI on EFI partition of my Thunderbolt SSD
Create Thunderbolt SSD with Startosinstall-Ventura
After Installing Beta 6; Important is rebooting after install Kernel Debug

Then Run OCLP thats it

If some user whants my EFI simply tell me
