No offense, but that warning hasn't stopped anyone from using them. Let alone the security warnings in the nightly disclaimers (but that's OT).Nightlies are for people who are able to find how to install them...
Got a tip for us?

macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

@houser, I finally was able to get 14.1 beta 3 installed on my iMac 15,1 using the 10-15-23 version of OCLP 1.1n.
However, the Time Machine "switch" you are seeing in your 14.1 b3 install is still "missing in action" and presumed to be a machine specific entity. Otherwise, I have not noticed any differences, compared with 14.0 (albeit, I haven't used it much).
Well done. There are a number of things that have been improved, as always with point releases to a major release.
I just realised that you do not have a backup disk selected in the screenshot you gave in your post #2,356
The switch you are missing should show when you select a disk.
You like to have the final word …
The first filter for installing experimental software is to be able read and do some research without asking very easy questions.
I can’t avoid beginners to do what they want, but I am not sure I am ready to answer infinite questions for an unsupported software.
Ah. Hadn't done that in a while. Will give it another go w/NVRAM reset when 1.1 is ready.
Still, don't you think it's weird that Monterey installs with zero issues and Sonoma cannot?
Not strange. Resetting NVRAM is not unusual with Open Core when changing versions of macOS. Welcome to the world of hackintosh.
EDIT: It still might not fix the installation, but those who have been using Open Core before OCLP was born are used to NVRAM resets.

Hello,
If you want a simple solution to schedule your Mac, I write software with a GUI like the old MACOS.
My site to download: http://bmaillard.free.fr//programmer/ (the source is online)
I test it on Ventura and Sonoma.
Enjoy

Welcome. Look at posts 2024, 2052 and 2057. I have a 2009 21.5" iMac 10.1 and also lost my bluetooth. Right now that iMac is in VA, while I'm in FL, so I haven't had the opportunity to try the hack explained in the above posts. Please pass on if it works. Cheers, Jim
MBP5,2: it is able to install 14.1 betas now (verified that b2 USB installer boots well, but didn't try to install).
Developers were very active over the weekend, providing excellent updates to OCLP. OCLP 1.1.0n from today includes an update for USB1.1 which now allows usage of 14.1 betas. PatcherSupportPackage is now 1.4.1.
Applied the post-install patches of the new 1.1.0n to 14.0, no problems. KDK used is now the one belonging to 14.0.
Now doing OTA update of 14.0 to 14.1b3 on internal SSD (letting it run unattended).
MBP11,1: installed 14.0 on external SSD. Internal SSD for now remains on Monterey as this needs no root patches.
Thank you developers!
Edit: installation of b3 on MBP5,2 finished successfully. Root patching tbd later.

T1 support now fully working with tonight's OCLP 1.1.0n on my MacBook Pro 13,2 running Sonoma 14.1 beta 3.
Check the nightly site again, latest version dated 9:11 am Oct. 16. New support packages etc.
What about FaceTime, any issues there? Is there anything not functioning as intended on your machine?
Thanks @Bmld! I am grateful to you for having created and distributed this utility for free; I t’s very useful! It's sad to see that sometimes, apparently without any real reasonable reason, Apple intervenes to purge useful features or make changes that make the System no longer child-proof and simple people.
People like you, dear Bertrand, are precious in the world. With your precision, generosity and kindness you could also help perfect OCLP
Thanks again.

I haven't found anything yet not working. FaceTime, Messages, Netflix in Safari, Photo Booth all working OK.
Yes, very well, the T1 is now running for me again with 1.1.0n.
Now the only problem I have is that if the Macbook has been in standby for a longer period of time and I open it, it's as if it was switched off.
It just doesn't work for me anymore. Does anyone here know what this could be?

#2363 has worked for me so far. Have not done #2364, but might be worth trying.
Hello everyone, newbie user here!
I have successfully installed Mac OS Sonoma 14.0 on a MacBook Air 13 Early 2015 (i7 2.2 Ghz, 8Gb of ram) with OCLP 1.0.1 and everything seems to work fine (except for the continuity camera, but I think it's a known bug).
Anyway, my question is about YouTube streaming above 1080p resolution with Safari (17).
I have already read something about the VP9 unsupported protocol, but I understand that with the latest release of Mac OS and Safari the problem was fixed (so it's possible to stream in 4k res for ex).
I have tried to enable in the experimental features "VP9 SW Decoder on Battery", "VP9 Encoder" and "WebRTC VP9 Codec", but I can only find the latest option. Enabling it changes nothing.
Can't find "VP9 SW Decoder on Battery", "VP9 Encoder" in the experimental menu.
So, there's really a way to enable 4k video streaming on YouTube (in reality I need only the 1440p resolution) also on our unsupported MacBook?
Or I'm missing something??
Thanks in advance!
P.s. Vimeo 4k 60fps videos works like a charm

As far as YouTube 4K, and Safari, it's worked for a few years with the latest releases of macOS and Safari. I wonder if something is wrong with your setup specifically. I can double check though, but the last time I played a 4K YT video in Safari, I remember it working without problems. Both on Monterey (officially supported), Ventura, and Sonoma (patched.)
Thanks, waiting for an update from you!
Additional information of my setup:
Open core settings: Moderate spoofing of MacBook Air 8.1 (to enable Universal control), the rest as default configuration but I have enabled again GateKeeper.
Using WIPR for ads blocking and NextDNS.
Nothing else....
@Gianca90 go to this video here:
in Safari. I'm using Safari 17.0 on Monterey, it will play in HD by default but press the full screen button and it should change to 4k. The only reason it might not is the GPU in that MacBook might not handle it well, I had trouble playing 4K video on a 13" late 2013 MBP with a supported OS, even after safari got support.
By the way, I did the test on an iMac 17,1 late 2015, 27" iMac, but I think it's fair test subject as it worked under open core installed versions as well as the native supported one.
