macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

[perez987]

@bige12
I think iMac16,2 although not supported by Ventura is supported by OCLP 0.5.0. Iris Pro 6200 is included into Broadwell GPUs of the OCLP pci_data.py file where all graphics device-ids are listed.
iMac16,2 SMBIOS is also included into the SMBIOS list in the OCLP smbios_data.py file.

The best way is to leave all settings as OpenCore-Patcher app sets. Read OCLP guides.

Good day, will Intel HD 4000 graphics work on Macbook Air mid 2012 when using OpenCore Patcher 0.5 ? Monterey worked PatchHD4000. Thanks for advice

Go here and look for the more recent Build WxPython.

For non-developers is there any need for WxPython, for Kepler/IvyBridge? I have never installed it and 0.5.0-2012/13.2 work well together.

@ronton3
Don’t worry about this, you don’t need to install WxPython if using the compiled app.

I have a MacBook Pro 15” mid 2015 running Big Sur. Should I update to Monterey first and then install Ventura?

I am not a developer. I am however wondering what the “fixes” are for this latest update. Is there a list somewhere?

 

[ronton3]

22A380/Imac Late 2012/13.2 working well together, usual request to reinstall patches.

 

[fernando.c.neves]

New release of Ventura 13.0 RC2 22A380, updated over the air OTA. Everything is working.

Real Mac - MacBook Pro 13'' Retina Early 2015 with latest OCLP 0.5.0, OpenCore 0.8.5 Latest Kexts.

Need to re-patch with OCLP 0.5.0 to work acceleration of my Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536MB.

Hi guys, I can report that my iMac late 2012 has managed to like Ventura rc2.
SSD completely wiped, then with Beta 11 and the current Ventura Beta OCLP installed Update RC2 ready:

Bigest thanks to the dev's who made it possible again, and invested so much time and nerves.....

 

[jonnyv34]

Sorry to be quoting myself, but does anyone have any idea what could be going on here?
Why the same installer, installs just fine on an external SSD but not on the internal SSD?

I never had this problem. What you can do is cloning your Mac without third part software: see

@yahgoo
Try the compiled app, don’t compile it by yourself. Read a post about it by @khronokernel a few posts above (Post 1148). Current compiled app is already beta, not alpha.
Also try without spoofing smbios.

I tried with and without spoofing on the latest artifacts
Mac Mini 2012 still boot and stuck "OCB: StartImage Failed - Already Started"
At least now I learnt where to get the latest nightly build.

On my MBP11,3, I have macOS Monterey 12.6 on the original internal SSD and Ventura RC2 on an external Thunderbolt SSD, respectively with OCLP 0.4.11 and the latest 0.5.0 alpha (with default settings): a strange thing that I have noticed is that in Monterey the condition of the battery (which is new, recently changed) is correctly reported as good, while in Ventura it shows up only as fair and with a service recommended warning in the menu bar (but no such warning in the battery system settings: so, it looks like a bug; also battery apps like coconutBattery and others follow the same pattern: good in Monterey, fair in Ventura); I’m sure that the battery is in perfect condition: so, would this be a Ventura bug, or an OCLP alpha (a new setting, maybe) bug…? Very strange…

Hi good morning/afternoon for everyone, I can report that my iMac mid 2011 upgraded with Kepler GPU has managed to work fine and patch with Ventura rc2.
OTA upgraded from Monterey to RC1 and after to RC2 without issues.
Patched with OCLP 0.5.0 nightly build.

Many many thanks to the dev's who made it possible again, and invested so much time and effort.
Regards.

I have same iMac in home, but 21,5", work wifi and bluetooth??

I replaced the wireless card with the iMac 2014 one 802.11ac, is not the one that came from factory.
This one seems to work fine. Sorry.

Is a BCM94360CD card?

 

[Ausdauersportler]

Is a BCM94360CD card?

All iMacs 2009-2011 will need a BCM94360xx upgrade and a metal GPU to work properly with Ventura. There is no support of stock Atheros WiFI or stock older stock BCM Bluetooth (and likely will never be). Therefore you will not find those older iMacs on the official OCLP support list (which includes currently only 2012+ Macs).

Additionally a lot of software new features like UC, AirDrop, AirPlay depend on a new upgraded BT/WiFi card.

Can report that RC2 works well on my 2012 Mac Mini

In certain areas it feels faster than Monterey. Only real problem is with the notification centre and its widgets not showing up correctly sometimes. That is apparently a known issue even on M1 Macs.

Other than that everything works except for the Weather app and memoji profile pics, but that's a OCLP issue that will probably be fixed in the future.
Install was easy and you can install it right over your existing Monterey installation.

 

[yahgoo]

I have the Mac mini as yours.
Mac Mini 2012 boot and stuck "OCB: StartImage Failed - Already Started"
Which OCLP did u use to build the EFI? Do u select the default setting without any spoof?

they are closed source and dont have github commit comments, on apple website for regular release they only say bug fixes

I have the Mac mini as yours.

just press enter at the apfs entry few times to retry booting.. (or use dmpstore to fix nvram if its seen missing in shell)

Install was easy and you can install it right over your existing Monterey installation.

Like in: Open software Update in Monterey and update to Ventura?
With OCLP (0.5) installed on the main disk of-course!

That's the way it has been working for about 2 decades so it should work. (with OCLP)
