Tweaking OpenCore
The ZIP from AudioGod has all the information and parts you need to get the Hackintosh up and running.
But there is always room for tinkering.
Making OpenCore fancy
This information here is based on the article from dortania.
The EFI folder already contains the OpenCanopy.efi file and the needed resources so there is nothing to do there.
The only thing which needs to be changed is the configuration.
Misc -> Boot -> PickerMode: External
Misc -> Boot -> PickerAttributes:1
PickerAttributes | Description |
1 | Enables VolumeIcon.icns reading off the drive, this is how macOS installer icons work |
0x0008 | This is another value which allows for alternative icons, such as the legacy GUI found on legacy Macs |
0x0009 | both legacy GUI and custom drive icons |
More information about PickerAtrributes is available in the Configuration.pdf
UEFI -> Drivers and add OpenCanopy.efi
Enabling OpenCore Shell
Tools, for example, UEFI Shell, are very dangerous and MUST NOT appear in production configurations, especially in vaulted ones and protected with secure boot, as they may be used to easily bypass secure boot chain
The only change needed is to configure it.
Misc -> Tools -> 0 -> Enabled: YES
Hiding unnecessary drives from OpenCore
I Still need to write this up.
