## Patcher Warnings
Since this patcher tricks macOS into thinking you're running a newer Mac, certain functionality may be broken:
* Boot Camp Assistant.app
* We recommend running the assistant on a natively supported OS
* Legacy Windows Booting
* Currently OpenCore cannot boot MBR-based installs, so Ivy Bridge and older Machines may not be able to see Windows in OpenCore's Boot Picker

## Infinite Recovery OS Booting
With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we rely on Apple Secure Boot to ensure OS updates work correctly and reliably with Big Sur. However this installs NVRAM variables that will confuse your Mac if not running with OpenCore. To resolve, simply uninstall OpenCore and [reset NVRAM](https://support.apple.com/en-mide/HT201255).
* Note: Machines with modded root volumes will also result in infinite recovery until integrity is restored
## Reboot when entering Hibernation (`Sleep Wake Failure`)
Currently the patcher does not support hibernation for many machines, we recommend disabling hibernation for now:
```sh
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
```
