# 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep 'Model Identifier'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The below table will list all supported and unsupported functions of the patcher currently:
|
|
|
|
* [MacBook](#macbook)
|
|
* [MacBook Air](#macbook-air)
|
|
* [MacBook Pro](#macbook-pro)
|
|
* [Mac mini](#mac-mini)
|
|
* [iMac](#imac)
|
|
* [Mac Pro](#mac-pro)
|
|
* [Xserve](#xserve)
|
|
|
|
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](./TERMS.md) updates, FileVault, SIP and other security features can stay in-tact.
