Supported Models
Any hardware supporting SSE4.1 CPU and 64-Bit firmware work on this patcher. To check your hardware model, run the below command on the applicable machine in terminal:
system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep 'Model Identifier'
The below table will list all supported and unsupported functions of the patcher currently:
Note: In this patcher, Brightness Control is tied to GPU acceleration
Note 2: For setups that require AppleHDA patching, we highly advise users instead opt of a USB Audio adapter to avoid root patching. This ensures that DELTA updates, FileVault, SIP and other security features can stay in-tact.
Regarding OS support, see below:
| Support Entry | Supported OSes | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| HostOS | macOS 10.9-11 | Refers to OSes where running OpenCore-Patcher.app are supported | Supports 10.7+ if python 3.6 or higher is manually installed, simply run the OpenCore-Patcher.command located in the repo |
| TargetOS | macOS 11 | Refers to OSes that can be patched to run with OpenCore | Unofficially supports 10.4 and newer, no support provided via this patcher |
