macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

[K two]

Sure ... and my boot disk is named Fred. Let me know how to interpret that.

Joking (bad joking) aside, it's a strange post. It's a Ventura 13.6.6 "About This Hack" screenshot with the statement "Updated to 14.3." I think it's a confused hackintosh owner, but eagerly await the response.

EDIT: @K two I should have paid closer attention to the CPU. If the posted screenshot accurately indicates the CPU (i5-5250u), the actual laptop is MacBookAir7,2 (Early 2015), so maybe OCLP is spoofing MacBookAir8,1.

Could be related to today's date? 🤔

Your Air is fully supported for Ventura, why OCLP? See https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-13-ventura-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2346881/ 🤷‍♂️

Good info - thanks. Spoofing is required on MBA7,x.

Hello

I have an Imac Late 2013

all ok with Opencore Patcher 1.4.1 and Ventura 13.6.5

Today I installed Opencore Patcher 1.4.3 and Ventura 13.6.6 and don't work with Root Patch

I have tried reinstalling Opencore Patcher 1.4.1 and Opencore Patcher 1.4.2 without results

Without root patch OK, installing root patch it's block during boot

Enabled verbose during boot, see screen attached

Can you help me?

Thank's

macOS v.13.6.7b1 installed atop v.13.6.6 via USB, OCLP v.1.5.0n runs as expected. Did not have to re-install root-patches. OCLP nearing perfection.

Where can we download macOS v.13.6.7RC and OCLP v.1.5.0?

Thank's

Does not having to re-install root patches for an incremental macOS update indicate that OCLP is nearing perfection?

Inspect your command and see if you can find the typo.

EDIT: If I gave you this command and I had a typo in my post, please let me know where that post is so I can correct it. Thank you.

Nothing, just a fact.

Please note - macOS v.13.6.7 is actually Beta1 not a RC. Sorry for the error. 😇

Well Bingo - found it yikes. Don't think its from you. It's entirely me.

Please enlighten me. I would genuinely like to know how the 'perfection' of OCLP has anything to do with whether an incremental release of macOS needs root patches.

Two separate facts. OCLP v.1.5.0 is nearing perfection. And updating to the latest Ventura Beta did not require root-patches to be installed. FWIW.

Very interesting piece with references to OCLP and Ventura. https://aplus.rs/2024/hackintosh-almost-dead/ worth the read. 🧐

Ok - thank you. I was genuinely hoping to learn something new.

Here's something, on this Haswell Mac, root-patches have not been required since 13.6.5RC.

Understood. As you said, that has nothing to do with the 'perfection' of OCLP.

What will happen with OCLP after Intel support is dropped by Apple? Is there a chance to have anything similar to extend Apple Silicon lifespan?

Ask @khronokernel, our founder. 🤷‍♂️

It's an interesting question. Are you considering purchase of a used Apple Silicon Mac? How soon do you think Apple Silicon owners will need to start worrying about end-of-life for their Mx-based Macs?

EDIT: I'll flag myself for going off-topic.

EDIT2: @vmz Here is a thread that might interest you.

@deeveedee not used but new, but I desperately search for reasons which will allow me to consider justifying a cost. 2017 macs aren't supported by Sonoma, meaning the total lifespan for them is 7 years (considering "3 last macOS versions" support policy for a lot of crucial software). For M1 owners, it could be same. Meanwhile, my MPB is nearing 12 years usage mark this summer.
