Introduce

To Do
- Automatically update OpenCorePkg and Kexts by a script
- Automatically generate update info and update ReadMe
- Automatically update repo weekly by CI
Note
- If you meet hot-plug issue with thunderbolt devices（Tested by @krzysinek，below macOS Ventura 13 need to Enable）, try Enable
UEFI->Drivers->TbTPowerForce.efi. - If crashed in installing macOS from USB, try Enable
UEFI->Quirks->ReleaseUsbOwnership, thanks @krzysinek (#22). - For macOS 12 Monterey, DW1820 do not work well (can not use Airdrop, Handoff and Sidercar). Therefore I change it to BCM94360Z4 and it works well!
- Monterey 12.3 and iPad OS 15.4 start to support Universal Control (also need BoardCom wireless card), works for me.
- Strongly recommand you to re-create USBMap.kext for your own laptop with this tool.
- If you change your hardware (like wireless), re-create the USBMap.kext as well.
- It is strong recommanded that re-generate a serial number for your own laptop (needed to be check invaluable in apple.com) !
- Do not turn on
Find my mac!

Thunderbolt 3 Usage
Type-C port has 2 controllers: Thunderbolt 3 controller and USB controller. USB controller is fully supported (including hot-plug), but Thunderbolt only works when you plug in the device before start up and it does not support hot-plug, because it regonize the thunderbolt device as PCI device. If you want to use Thunderbolt, here is the points:
- Plug in the Thunderbolt device before start up
- Hot-plug NOT Supported
For Intel Wireless and Bluetooth
Now, I add a config for Intel wireless card kexts. The method to use it is as below
- Delete the existing
config.plist - Change
config-intel-wireless-card.plistintoconfig.plist
ComboJack Installation
Hackintosh combojack support for alc256/alc255 from https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/ComboJack
Follow this step:
- Clone combojack repository
- Run ComboJack_Installer/install.sh in terminal and reboot
- Done. When you attach a headphone there will be a popup asking about headphone type.
