# Working Around Legacy Acceleration Issues

The below page is for users experiencing issues with their overall usage of macOS Big Sur / macOS Monterey and the Legacy Graphics Acceleration patches. Note that the following GPUs currently do not have acceleration support in Big Sur / Monterey:

  • Intel 3rd and 4th Gen - GMA series

For those unfamiliar with what is considered a non-Metal GPU, see below chart:

macOS GPU Chart

Metal is Apple's in-house graphics API that acts as a replacement for OpenGL/OpenCL, introduced in 2015. With the release of macOS Mojave, every system without a Metal-capable GPU was dropped.

Graphics Vendor Architecture Series Supports Metal
ATI TeraScale 1 HD2000 - HD4000 No
TeraScale 2 HD5000 - HD6000
AMD GCN (and newer) HD7000+ Yes
NVIDIA Tesla 8000GT - GT300 No
Fermi GT400 - GT500
Kepler GT600 - GT700 Yes
Intel GMA GMA900 - GMA3000 No
Iron Lake HD series
Sandy Bridge HD3000
Ivy Bridge (and newer) HD4000 Yes

# Broken Background Blurs

By default with the non-Metal acceleration patches, many background blur menus may act distorted when moving a cursor over it. With 0.4.1 and newer, users can enable a new Beta Blur feature to try and resolve the issue:

Do note that enabling beta blurs can be more demanding on slower hardware

# Downloading older non-Metal Apps

Many Apple apps now have direct reliance on Metal for proper functioning, however legacy builds of these apps still do work in Big Sur. See below for archive of many apps such as Pages, iMovie, GarageBand.

Note: This archive assumes that you own these copies of these apps through the Mac App Store, Dortania does not condone piracy

# Unable to run Zoom

Currently Zoom relies partially on Metal and so needs a small binary patch. Dosdude1 has provided a nice script for this:

# Unable to grant special permissions to apps (ie. Camera Access to Zoom)

With version 0.2.5, this issue should be full resolved

0.2.4 and older Work-Around

Due to the usage of amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1, macOS will fail to prompt users for special permissions upon application start as well as omit the entires in System Preferences. To work around this, we recommend users install tccplus (opens new window) to manage permissions.

# How to debug with OpenCore

For those who've hit an odd bug and unsure if it's user error or patcher, we recommend asking on the OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server (opens new window) for help.

# Debugging yourself

The easiest way to debug yourself is via Patcher Settings. Here there are many different settings however the 3 main options that will help are:

  • "Enable Verbose Mode"
  • "Enable OpenCore DEBUG"
  • "Enable Kext DEBUG"

When you've enabled these 3 options, rebuild OpenCore and install to your drive. This will provide much greater debug information as well as write logs to the EFI Partition.

# Obtaining OpenCore logs from disk

With "Enable OpenCore DEBUG" set, every boot there will be a .txt file generated in your disk. To grab these logs, download and run MountEFI (opens new window):

Once you've mounted the EFI Partition of the drive you have macOS on, you should see some nice logs:

# Obtaining Kernel logs from macOS

With "Enable Kext DEBUG" set, every boot will now have much more detailed logs stored in the OS. To get these logs, simply run the below command:

sudo dmesg > ~/Desktop/DMESG.txt

# Supporting the patcher

OpenCore Legacy Patcher is a hobby project for us developers, and while we love helping out the community it's very difficult for us to troubleshoot issues remotely. The best way for us to get to work on the patcher, fix issues and add enhancements is having the hardware in-hand. As a hobby project, neither of the main developers can afford to buy every legacy Mac to test on.

The best way to support us in all honesty is to donate any old hardware you no longer need, as this allows us to have machines to test locally and push fixes much faster. While we appreciate cash donations, this makes it much more difficult for us to handle as an organization.

Main sections of help we'd appreciate:

# Creating the installer

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, our new GUI includes a download menu for macOS installers. So to start off, you'll want to grab our app:

For this guide, we'll be using the standard OpenCore-Patcher (GUI).

Once downloaded, open the app and you should be greeted with this menu:

OCLP GUI Main Menu

First we'll want to select the "Create macOS Installer" button. This will present you with 2 options:

For this example, we'll assume you'll need an installer. Selecting this option will download Apple's Installer Catalogs and build a list for you to choose:

Downloading Listed Installers

Since the patcher officially supports Big Sur and newer for patching, only those entires will be shown. For ourselves, we'll select 12.1 as that's the latest public release at the time of writing. This will download and install the macOS installer to your applications folder.

WARNING

With the release of the M2 MacBooks, Apple made an Apple Silicon only installer labeled "macOS 12.4 (21F2092 - 11.7GB)". Trying to boot this on Intel will not work.

Instead, download "macOS 12.4 (21F79 - 12.1GB)" or newer.

# The current hold on new issues and pull requests

As written with the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.4.3, and macOS 12.3:

With today's macOS 12.3 release, I decided it would be best to release this build of OpenCore Legacy Patcher to ensure some important issues are resolved with today's release (namely Open/Save dialog problem introduced by Apple in the 12.3 Betas)

As the situation develops back home with my family in Ukraine, I am unlikely to continue the development of OpenCore Legacy Patcher in the near future. At most, there may be potential PatcherSupportPkg updates from ASentientBot and the rest of the amazing non-Metal development team however otherwise development may potentially be taken over by others later on. Issues will continue to remain closed for the time being.

With regards to the future of this project, this release should be treated as its last major release for the next couple of months. When WWDC2022 is presented, I hope my country will be in a calmer situation where we can tinker with Macs again peacefully.

This is not a final goodbye for me with this project, just a round-about way to say I'll be returning someday. I want to give the biggest thank you's to the community and to the many amazing developers within it. OpenCore Legacy Patcher is not just my project, it's the cumulation of many people that are all responsible for where we are today.

If you encounter new issues with the patcher that do not have solutions easily available, our helpful community in the OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server (opens new window) can provide support in the meantime. You should still provide as much information as you can by gathering debug logs when you ask for help.

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.1.7 and newer, we've implemented beta macOS Monterey support for users. Please note that Apple has dropped a lot of hardware with this release as well as broken many of our previous patch sets. This page will be used to inform users regarding current issues and will be updated as new patch sets are developed and added to our patcher.

# Newly dropped hardware

With Monterey, Apple continues their their somewhat ruthless march of dropping Intel hardware. This release saw the removal, and thus addition into OpenCore Legacy Patcher, of the following models:

  • iMac14,4
  • iMac15,1
  • MacBook8,1
  • MacBookAir6,1
  • MacBookAir6,2
  • MacBookPro11,1
  • MacBookPro11,2
  • MacBookPro11,3
Model names
  • iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014)
  • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
  • MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)
  • MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
  • MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013)
  • MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014)
  • MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014)
  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

All of these models now have support in OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

# Current Monterey Issues

# MacBookPro11,3 booting issue without Kepler acceleration

Due to the display being routed through the NVIDIA Kepler card and macOS being rendered on the Intel iGPU, users have been experiencing issues booting without post-install patches applied (see here for more info (opens new window).) Currently the only workaround is to install the patches in safe mode, by holding down Shift+Enter when you select macOS in the OCLP boot picker.

# Explaining the patches in OpenCore Legacy Patcher

In our patcher, there are numerous patches used to ensure a stable system. Here we're going to go over what patches are used and why we recommend or even require them.

# OpenCore Settings

Below is a run down of the main logic OpenCore Legacy Patcher uses to gain native support in macOS. Note OpenCore's configuration is documented within OpenCorePkg (opens new window) as well as an online version provided by us:

# Post-Installation

# Booting without USB drive

Once you've installed macOS through OpenCore, you can boot up and go through the regular install process. To boot without the USB drive plugged in is quite simple:

  • Download OpenCore Legacy Patcher
  • Change Patcher settings as you'd like
  • Build OpenCore again
  • Install OpenCore to internal drive
  • Reboot holding Option, and select the internal EFI

And voila! No more USB drive required

# Booting seamlessly without Verbose or OpenCore Picker

To do this, run the OpenCore Patcher and head to Patcher Settings:

GUI Settings TUI Settings

Here you can change different patcher settings, however the main interest is:

  • Show Boot Picker (GUI)
  • Set ShowPicker Mode (TUI)

Once you've toggled them both off, build your OpenCore EFI once again and install to your desired drive. Now to show the OpenCore selector, you can simply hold down the "ESC" key while clicking on EFI boot, then you can release the "ESC" key when you see the cursor arrow at the top left.

# Enabling SIP

For many users, SIP will be enabled by default on build. For Intel HD 4000 users, you may have noticed that SIP is partially disabled. This is to ensure full compatibility with macOS Monterey and allow seamless booting between it and older OSes. However for users who do not plan to boot Monterey, you can re-enable under Patcher Settings.

Note: Machines with non-Metal GPUs cannot enable SIP in Big Sur either due to patched root volume

SIP Enabled SIP Lowered (Root Patching) SIP Disabled

WARNING

If you're unsure whether you should enable SIP, leave as-is. Systems where you have already ran the Post Install Root Patching cannot enable SIP without potentially breaking the current install.

# Applying Post Install Volume Patches

Post Install Volume Patches, sometimes also called root patches, are patches that have to be installed on disk for some older Macs to gain back functionality.

OCLP v0.4.4 and higher include an autopatcher, which will automatically root patch your system but only if the USB install media was created within OCLP.

Users with OCLP v0.4.4 or higher will also be prompted to install these patches after macOS updates or whenever patches are not detected on the system. We recommend rebuilding OpenCore with the latest version of OCLP to take advantage of these new features.

In OCLP v0.4.5 a new indicator was added to help users to see if, when and on what version the system was root patched. Note that the "Available patches" section above this does not track the status and will always show the patches that are available, whether they're installed or not.

Automatic install prompt in 0.4.4+ Last patched status in 0.4.5+

# Running Post Install patches manually

If you're using OCLP v0.4.3 or earlier, or need to run the patcher manually, you can do so with the app. There is no harm in trying to run the Patcher, as without compatible hardware nothing will be done. You can see below on whether your hardware needs root volume patching.

Listing Patches Patching Finished

WARNING

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher versions prior to v0.4.4, Root Patching requires a network connection by default to grab associated resources. If your system is having difficulties with wifi or ethernet, you can grab the newest release :

# OpenCore Patcher Terminology

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we use a lot of different terms to refer to hardware including SSE4.1, 32-Bit Firmware, etc. This page is to help users understand what all these confusing words mean.

# Terminology

Term Description
macOS Apple's own UNIX based OS used for Mac machines and "What makes a Mac a Mac".
Windows Microsoft's proprietary OS that is used and supported on a wide range of devices
Linux Family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution. Note that while macOS and Linux may be UNIX-based, they're vastly different.
Bootloader Piece of software that loads an OS, usually made by the OS creators. OpenCore is technically not a bootloader per se (see boot manager explanation down below). Apple's Boot.efi would be the actual boot loader in a Mac.
Boot Manager Piece of software that manages bootloaders – we have many of these: Clover, systemd-boot, OpenCore, rEFInd, rEFIt... These are generally seen as prepping the system for the actual boot loader.
Term Description
OpenCore The new hotness on the scene, made with security in mind by the Acidanthera team (opens new window), has faster booting and lighter weight than previous boot managers. Supports many native Mac features such as SIP, FileVault, Secure Boot, etc
ACPI Tables defined in your firmware defining your hardware and different methods, tied directly to how IOKit/IOService handles device setup
NVRAM Non-volitile storage, where many variables are stored including default boot options, Hibernation keys, Secure Boot information, etc
Term Description
XNU Also known as X is Not Unix, XNU is referred to as macOS's "kernel" and the heart of what makes macOS tick
Kexts Also known as Kernel Extensions, are macOS's drivers. They're used to perform different tasks like device drivers or for a different purpose (in this patcher) like patching the OS, injecting information or running tasks.
KernelCollection Also known as the ImmutableKernel and PrelinkedKernel, this is a bundle of the kernel(XNU) and kernel extensions(Kexts) that we use to boot macOS. This is also what OpenCore patches in memory to allow us to have a seamless experience
- PrelinkedKernel: Default caching system since 10.7
- ImmutableKernel: Secure Boot based caching system since 10.13
- KernelCollection: Merge of both Prelinked and ImmutableKernel's since macOS 11, Big Sur
IOKit Backbone of how Kernel Extentions (Kexts) probe and attach onto hardware, starts quickly after kernel initates
WindowServer Backbone of the GUI interface in macOS, one of the first userfacing userspace programs to kick-in
OTA Short for Over The Air, refers to native OS updates via System Preferences like a supported Mac
DELTA Often used with OTA, refers to OS updates that much smaller than full installers (generally ~3GB), note Deltas require the root volume to be unmodified otherwise ~12GB updates will occur.
Term Description
EFI It can denote two things:
- Mac's firmware, which is the same as UEFI, but pretty modified for Macs only, so not so "Universal"
- The partition on your hard drive that stores software read by the UEFI to load OSes (like the Windows bootloader) or UEFI Applications (like OpenCore), it's FAT32 formatted and has an ID type of EF00 (in hex). It can be named ESP or SYSTEM, and it's usually from 100MB to 400MB in size but the size doesn't reflect upon anything.
HFS+ Also known as MacOS Journaled, this was the default macOS drive format up until macOS 10.13, format was designed around spinning disks
APFS This was the default macOS drive from macOS 10.13 and onwards for SSDs, and standard for all drives in Mojave. Format was designed around SSDs primarily.
32 and 64-Bit CPU The bit number of a CPU determines how much data a CPU can address.
- 32-Bit CPUs were only supported up-to Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard.
32-Bit Firmware The bit number of a Firmware determines how much data the firmware can address. In some older Macs, it's common to have a 64-Bit CPU can have a 32-Bit firmware
- 32-Bit Firmwares were only supported up-to Mac OS X 10.7, Lion.
SSE Instructions Also known as SIMD Single-Precision Floating-Point Instructions, these are defined as instruction sets supported by your CPU. In macOS, there are a certain number of instruction sets required for normal operation:
- SSE3: Required for all Intel CPUs since Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger
- SSSE3: Required for all Intel 64-Bit CPUs since Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard
- SSE4.1: Required for all Intel CPUs since macOS 10.12, Sierra

# Troubleshooting

Here are some common errors users may experience while using this patcher:

# OpenCore Legacy Patcher not launching

If the application won't launch (e.g. icon will bounce in the Dock), try launching OCLP via Terminal by typing the following command, make sure you've moved the app to /Applications before this.

# Troubleshooting
 
Here are some common errors users may experience while using this patcher:
  
# OpenCore Legacy Patcher not launching
 
If the application won't launch (e.g. icon will bounce in the Dock), try launching OCLP via Terminal by typing the following command, make sure you've moved the app to /Applications before this.
 
/Applications/OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenCore-Patcher
 
# Stuck on This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform
 
This means macOS has detected a SMBIOS it does not support, to resolve this ensure you're booting OpenCore before the macOS installer in the boot picker. Reminder the option will be called EFI Boot
 
Once you've booted OpenCore at least once, your hardware should now auto boot it until either NVRAM reset or you remove the drive with OpenCore installed.
 
# Cannot boot macOS without the USB
 
By default, the OpenCore Patcher won't install OpenCore onto the internal drive itself during installs. Instead, you'll need to either manually transfer (opens new window) OpenCore to the internal drive's EFI or run this patcher's Option 2 again but select your internal drive.
 
Reminder that once this is done, you'll need to select OpenCore in the boot picker again for your hardware to remember this entry and auto boot from then on.
 
# 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 (opens new window).
 
  • Note: Machines with modded root volumes will also result in infinite recovery until integrity is restored
 
# Reboot when entering Hibernation (Sleep Wake Failure)
 
Known issue on some models (opens new window), temporary fix is to disable Hibernation:
 
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
 
# Booting with a non-flashed GPU
 
For Mac Pro, Xserve and iMac users with non-flashed GPUs, you can still easily boot OpenCore and view the entire boot process. To do so, make sure SIP is disabled(to allow NVRAM write access) and run the following:
 
sudo bless --verbose --file /Volumes/VOLNAME/EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi --folder /Volumes/VOLNAME/EFI/OC --setBoot
 
  • Note you will need to replace VOLNAME with the Volume name of your USB or hard drive with OpenCore
    •  
  • Note 2: Once done, you can re-enable SIP
    •  
  • Note 3: The EFI partition OpenCore was installed on must be mounted, if it's unmounted simply rerun "Install OpenCore to drive"
 
Once you boot OpenCore for the first time, LauncherOption will install itself as the top boot priority making OpenCore always launch. Combined with RequestBootVar, all boot options must go through OpenCore ensuring seamless usage even with OS installation and updates.
 
# How to Boot Big Sur Recovery
 
By default, the patcher will try to hide extra boot options such as recovery from the user. To make them appear, simply press the "Spacebar" inside OpenCore's Picker to list all boot options.
 
# Stuck on "Your Mac needs a firmware update"
 
Full error: "Your Mac needs a firmware update in order to install to this Volume. Please select a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume instead."
 
This error occurs when macOS determines the firmware to not have full APFS support. To resolve is quite simple, when building OpenCore head to "Patcher Settings" and enable "Moderate SMBIOS Patching" or higher. This will ensure that the firmware reported will show as supporting full APFS capabilities.
 
# No Brightness Control
 
With OCLP v0.0.22, we've added support for brightness control on many models. However some users may have noticed that their brightness keys do not work.
 
To work-around, we recommend user try out the below app:
  
# Cannot connect Wi-Fi on Monterey with legacy cards
 
With OCLP v0.2.5, we've added support for legacy Wi-Fi on Monterey. However some users may have noticed that they can't connect to wireless networks.
 
To work-around, we recommend users to manually connect using the "other" option on the Wi-Fi menu bar or manually adding the network on the "Network" preference pane.
 
# No Graphics Acceleration
 
In macOS, each release generally means GPU drivers are dropped from the OS. With macOS Big Sur, currently all non-Metal GPUs require additional patches to gain acceleration. In addition, macOS Monterey removed Graphics Drivers for both Intel Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA Kepler.
 
If you're using OCLP v0.4.4, you should have been prompted to install Root Volume patches after first boot from installation of macOS. If you need to do this manually, you can within our app. Once rebooted, acceleration will be re-enabled as well as brightness control for laptops.
 
# Black Screen on MacBookPro11,3 in macOS Monterey
 
Due to Apple dropping NVIDIA Kepler support in macOS Monterey, MacBookPro11,3's GMUX has difficulties switching back to the iGPU to display macOS correctly. (opens new window) To work-around this issue, boot the MacBookPro11,3 in Safe Mode and once macOS is installed, run OCLP's Post Install Root Patches to enable GPU Acceleration for the NVIDIA dGPU.
 
  • Safe Mode can be started by holding Shift+Enter when selecting macOS Monterey in OCLP's Boot Menu.
 
# No DisplayPort Output on Mac Pros with NVIDIA Kepler
 
If you're having troubles with DisplayPort output on Mac Pros, try enabling Minimal Spoofing in Settings -> SMBIOS Settings and rebuild/install OpenCore. This will trick macOS drivers into thinking you have a newer MacPro7,1 and play nicer.
 
 
# Volume Hash Mismatch Error in macOS Monterey
 
A semi-common popup some users face is the "Volume Hash Mismatch" error:
 
 
What this error signifies is that the OS detects the boot volume's hash does not match to what the OS detects, this error is generally cosmetic and can be ignored. However if your system starts to crash spontaneously shortly after, you'll want to reinstall macOS fresh without importing any data at first.
  
Additionally it can help to disable FeatureUnlock in Settings -> Misc Settings as this tool can be strenuous on systems with weaker memory stability.
 
# Cannot Disable SIP in recoveryOS
 
With OCLP, the patcher will always overwrite the current SIP value on boot to ensure that users don't brick an installation after NVRAM reset. However for users wanting to disable SIP entirely, this can be done easily.
 
Head into the GUI, Patcher Settings and toggle the bits you need disabled from SIP:
 
SIP Enabled SIP Lowered (Root Patching) SIP Disabled
 
  
 
# Intermediate issues with USB 1.1 and Bluetooth on MacPro3,1 - MacPro5,1
 
For those experiencing issues with USB 1.1 devices (such as mice, keyboards and bluetooth chipsets), macOS Big Sur and newer have weakened OS-side reliability for the UHCI controller in older Mac Pros.
 
  • UHCI is a USB 1.1 controller that is hooked together with the USB 2.0 ports in your system. Whenever a USB 1.1 device is detected, the UHCI controller is given ownership of the device at a hardware/firmware level.
-
    • EHCI is the USB 2.0 controller in older Mac Pros
 
Because of this, we recommend placing a USB 2.0/3.0 hub between your devices and the port on the Mac Pro. UHCI and EHCI cannot both be used at once, so using a USB hub will always force the EHCI controller on.
 
  • Alternatively, you can try cold starting the hardware and see if macOS recognizes the UHCI controller properly
 
# Stuck on "Less than a minute remaining..."
 
A common area for systems to get "stuck", namely for units that are missing the AES CPU instruction/older mobile hardware. During this stange a lot of heavy cryptography is performed, which can make systems appear to be stuck when in reality they are working quite hard to finish up the installation.
 
Because this step can take a few hours or more depending on drive speeds, be patient at this stage and do not manually reboot your machine as this will break the installation and require you to reinstall. If you think your system has stalled, press the Caps Lock key. If the light turns on, your system is busy.
 
# No acceleration after a Metal GPU swap on Mac Pro
 
If you finished installing Monterey with the original card installed (to see bootpicker for example) and swapped your GPU to a Metal supported one, you may notice that you're missing acceleration. To fix this, open OCLP and revert root patches to get your Metal-supported GPU work again.
 
Alternatively, you can remove "AutoPkg-Assets.pkg" from /Library/Packages on the USB drive before proceeding with the installation. To see the folder, enable hidden files with Command + Shift + .
 
The reason for this is that the autopatcher will assume you will be using the original card and therefore does non-metal patching, which includes removing some drivers for other cards. This causes Metal cards to not accelerate when swapped.

# Blacklisted models

The following models are blacklisted from using Universal Control by Apple:

  • MacBookAir7,x - MacBook Air Early 2015 11" / 13"
  • MacBookPro11,4 - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 15" (Intel Iris)
  • MacBookPro11,5 - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 15" (dGPU)
  • MacBookPro12,x - MacBook Pro Early 2015 13"
  • iMac16,x - iMac Late 2015 21"
  • Macmini7,x - Mac mini 2014
  • MacPro6,x - Mac Pro Late 2013

The hardware in these models is capable but due to blacklisting, the only solution to use Universal Control on the models above is to spoof their SMBIOS. SMBIOS spoofing essentially fools some aspects of macOS to think they are running on a different machine.

With SMBIOS Spoofing, the Universal Control handshake recognizes a different SMBIOS and thus grants a blacklisted Mac to connect to other iPads and Macs with Universal Control.

Situation Condition Solution
Mac <-> Mac connection Monterey-unsupported No spoofing needed
Mac <-> iPad connection Monterey-unsupported No spoofing needed
Mac <-> Mac connection One or both are blacklisted Spoofing required on blacklisted Macs
Mac <-> iPad connection Blacklisted Mac Spoofing required on blacklisted Mac

WARNING

Before we continue, please keep in mind SMBIOS Spoofing is an advanced feature of OpenCore, that with reckless usage of it, could potentially screw things around and leave your installation non-working. Once you boot into a spoofed state, it is highly recommended you stay spoofed, and avoid booting macOS without OpenCore.

# How to spoof

Firstly, run the GUI version of OpenCore Legacy Patcher, go to Settings and tick Allow native models.

Note: Unless you are building OpenCore on a different machine than it's targeted for, do not change the model in this main settings view. It is important to understand that OCLP targets this model regardless of what you may have spoofed to, as your Mac is still what the Native SMBIOS shows.

Secondly, go to SMBIOS Settings, tick Allow Native Spoofs, set SMBIOS Spoof Level to Moderate. Set SMBIOS Spoof Model to one next to your native model in the table for spoofed models below.

Table for spoofed models (click to expand)

Any model after the list of officially blacklisted Macs should be supported, but these are the earliest Macs with Universal Control support, and thus chosen for the sake of simplicity.

Reminder: Macs that are not listed on this table work without spoofing, including systems that do not natively support Monterey as long as the other requirements are met, since they aren't blacklisted.

Build and install OpenCore again, reboot back to the OS. Enable Universal Control as explained in Enabling Universal Control section.

You should now be prompted to log back into iCloud by your Mac. This means you were successful, otherwise, verify you are correctly following the steps listed above, or else ask on the Discord group for assistance on #misc-help (opens new window).

# Blacklisted models

The following models are blacklisted from using Universal Control by Apple:

  • MacBookAir7,x - MacBook Air Early 2015 11" / 13"
  • MacBookPro11,4 - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 15" (Intel Iris)
  • MacBookPro11,5 - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 15" (dGPU)
  • MacBookPro12,x - MacBook Pro Early 2015 13"
  • iMac16,x - iMac Late 2015 21"
  • Macmini7,x - Mac mini 2014
  • MacPro6,x - Mac Pro Late 2013

The hardware in these models is capable but due to blacklisting, the only solution to use Universal Control on the models above is to spoof their SMBIOS. SMBIOS spoofing essentially fools some aspects of macOS to think they are running on a different machine.

With SMBIOS Spoofing, the Universal Control handshake recognizes a different SMBIOS and thus grants a blacklisted Mac to connect to other iPads and Macs with Universal Control.

Situation Condition Solution
Mac <-> Mac connection Monterey-unsupported No spoofing needed
Mac <-> iPad connection Monterey-unsupported No spoofing needed
Mac <-> Mac connection One or both are blacklisted Spoofing required on blacklisted Macs
Mac <-> iPad connection Blacklisted Mac Spoofing required on blacklisted Mac

WARNING

Before we continue, please keep in mind SMBIOS Spoofing is an advanced feature of OpenCore, that with reckless usage of it, could potentially screw things around and leave your installation non-working. Once you boot into a spoofed state, it is highly recommended you stay spoofed, and avoid booting macOS without OpenCore.

# How to spoof

Firstly, run the GUI version of OpenCore Legacy Patcher, go to Settings and tick Allow native models.

Note: Unless you are building OpenCore on a different machine than it's targeted for, do not change the model in this main settings view. It is important to understand that OCLP targets this model regardless of what you may have spoofed to, as your Mac is still what the Native SMBIOS shows.

Secondly, go to SMBIOS Settings, tick Allow Native Spoofs, set SMBIOS Spoof Level to Moderate. Set SMBIOS Spoof Model to one next to your native model in the table for spoofed models below.

Table for spoofed models (click to expand)

Any model after the list of officially blacklisted Macs should be supported, but these are the earliest Macs with Universal Control support, and thus chosen for the sake of simplicity.

Reminder: Macs that are not listed on this table work without spoofing, including systems that do not natively support Monterey as long as the other requirements are met, since they aren't blacklisted.

Build and install OpenCore again, reboot back to the OS. Enable Universal Control as explained in Enabling Universal Control section.

You should now be prompted to log back into iCloud by your Mac. This means you were successful, otherwise, verify you are correctly following the steps listed above, or else ask on the Discord group for assistance on #misc-help (opens new window).

# Updating OpenCore and Patches

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, generally there's very little reason for users to update the OpenCore installed on their machine unless you feel there's a benefit with new versions for your setup, e.g. Bluetooth has stopped working with a new macOS update.

For those who do wish to update, it's actually quite easy. Simply download the latest release (opens new window) and rerun the patcher:

Then simply rebuild your OpenCore build and install again. Then voila, OpenCore is updated!

To check what version of OpenCore and Patcher version you're currently running, you can run the following in terminal:

# OpenCore Version
