With OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.5.0, support for macOS Ventura has been implemented for Metal capable Macs.
## Newly dropped hardware
Ventura's release yet again dropped a huge amount of Intel hardware, requiring support for the following models to be added into OpenCore Legacy Patcher:
* iMac16,1 (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
* iMac16,2 (21.5-inch 4K, Late 2015)
* iMac17,1 (27-inch 5K, Late 2015)
* MacBook9,1 (12-inch, Early 2016)
* MacBookAir7,1 (11-inch, Early 2015)
* MacBookAir7,2 (13-inch, Early 2015)
* MacBookPro11,4 (15-inch, Mid 2015, iGPU)
* MacBookPro11,5 (15-inch, Mid 2015, dGPU)
* MacBookPro12,1 (13-inch, Early 2015)
* MacBookPro13,1 (13-inch, Late 2016)
* MacBookPro13,2 (13-inch, Late 2016)
* MacBookPro13,3 (15-inch, Late 2016)
* MacPro6,1 (Late 2013)
## Current status
For the most part, Ventura is usable on all Metal supported Macs, having only a few minor known issues. Currently the only machine unable to boot is the Mac Pro Late 2013, having an issue with display initialization. More information [here](https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/2126).
Refer to [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/998#issuecomment-1222926337) to see up-to-date information about issues with Ventura.
### Currently broken hardware
BCM94328, BCM94322 and Atheros WiFi cards will not function under Ventura, as Ventura has broken legacy WiFi patches.
## Non-Metal support
Apple has changed the graphics stack significantly to support new features (such as Stage Manager) by adding a new layer called WindowManager, breaking all previous patches.
Therefore an estimated time for non-Metal support cannot be provided, as this has created a much greater challenge.
## Pre-AVX 2.0
OpenCore Legacy Patcher fully supports booting and updates on these machines, a way to implement automatic dyld cache swap was added.
However, AVX 2.0 is still required for Vega and Navi drivers, meaning these cards won't function under Ventura when a Pre-AVX 2.0 CPU is used.
