	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>DMIDecode Hardware List</strong> is a modern macOS hardware information app designed to display useful system details from <code dir="ltr">dmidecode</code> in a clean, organized and searchable interface.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The app reads hardware data directly on each machine and dynamically lists the detected components, making it useful for real Macs and Hackintosh systems. It helps users inspect SMBIOS, CPU, memory, BIOS, baseboard, PCI devices, GPU, network adapters, storage controllers, audio devices, USB controllers and other important hardware information.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Unlike raw terminal output, DMIDecode Hardware List filters the useful data and presents it in categorized sections, making hardware inspection faster and easier. It is especially useful for Hackintosh troubleshooting, EFI creation, ACPI work, device property checks, PCI device identification and system compatibility analysis.</span></span>

	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Broadcom Patcher</strong> is a macOS utility designed to simplify the Broadcom Wi-Fi patching process on Hackintosh systems using <strong>OpenCore</strong>, <strong>Clover</strong>, or both bootloaders in the same EFI folder.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The app provides a simple <strong>drag and drop</strong> workflow: just drop your EFI folder, mounted EFI partition, OpenCore folder, Clover folder, or IORegistry dump, and Broadcom Patcher automatically applies the required Wi-Fi patches for supported macOS versions, including <strong>macOS Tahoe</strong>, <strong>macOS Sequoia </strong>and <strong>macOS Sonoma</strong>.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Broadcom Patcher is especially useful for users who need to restore or enable Broadcom Wi-Fi support after Apple removed native support for many legacy Broadcom wireless cards in newer macOS releases.</span></span>
</p>

	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><code dir="ltr">Devices -&gt; Properties</code></span></span>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Clover support is useful for users who still maintain legacy Clover EFI folders or dual-bootloader setups.</span></span>
</p>

<h2>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">OpenCore + Clover in the Same EFI</span></span>
</h2>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Broadcom Patcher supports EFI folders using both bootloaders together, such as BootLoaderSelector setups:</span></span>
</p>

<pre dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><code dir="ltr">EFI/
├── BOOT/
├── OC/
│   └── config.plist
└── CLOVER/
    └── config.plist</code></span></span></pre>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">If both bootloaders are detected, the app patches both OpenCore and Clover in the same process.</span></span>
</p>

<h2>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">macOS Tahoe Support</span></span>
</h2>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">For macOS Tahoe, Broadcom Patcher automatically applies the extra boot arguments required for Broadcom Wi-Fi patching:</span></span>
</p>

<pre dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><code dir="ltr">-amfipassbeta amfi=0x80 ipc_control_port_options=0</code></span></span></pre>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">These Tahoe-specific boot arguments are not applied to Sonoma, or Sequoia.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">After patching, the app shows the correct OCLP download link:</span></span>
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">macOS Tahoe: OCLP-Plus</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">macOS Sonoma, Sequoia: Dortania OpenCore Legacy Patcher</span></span>
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Broadcom DeviceProperties Detection</span></span>
</h2>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Broadcom Patcher can scan the current IORegistry or an IORegistry dump from another Hackintosh to detect the Broadcom Wi-Fi device path dynamically.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">When a valid Broadcom Wi-Fi device is detected, the app applies the required properties automatically:</span></span>
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">OpenCore: <code dir="ltr">DeviceProperties -&gt; Add</code></span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Clover: <code dir="ltr">Devices -&gt; Properties</code></span></span>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">If no Broadcom Wi-Fi device is detected, the app does not create fake or generic PCI paths. This keeps the EFI safer and avoids incorrect device injection.</span></span>
</p>

<h2>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">AMD Hackintosh Support</span></span>
</h2>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">On AMD Hackintosh systems, Broadcom Patcher automatically handles <code dir="ltr">AirportBrcmFixup.kext</code> differently:</span></span>
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">OpenCore: keeps the entry but disables it</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Clover: does not copy <code dir="ltr">AirportBrcmFixup.kext</code></span></span>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">This helps avoid known compatibility issues on AMD platforms.</span></span>
</p>

<h2>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Safety</span></span>
</h2>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Broadcom Patcher works locally on your Mac. It does not collect data, upload files, send telemetry, or modify anything outside the selected EFI folder.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Before changing any <code dir="ltr">config.plist</code>, the app creates a backup so users can restore their previous configuration if needed.</span></span>
</p>

	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>BootLoaderSelector</strong> is a lightweight and fast UEFI bootloader selector designed for Hackintosh users who want to easily choose between <strong>OpenCore</strong> and <strong>Clover</strong> from the same EFI partition. It provides a clean visual interface, automatic OpenCore/Clover detection, hardware information display, timeout boot, last selected bootloader memory, and safe fallback behavior without modifying NVRAM, BootOrder, BootNext, or creating unwanted UEFI boot entries.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Inspired by the original work and concept from <strong>jief666</strong>, BootLoaderSelector was created as a clean, modern and simplified project focused on speed, safety and compatibility for Hackintosh environments.</span></span>

</h3>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">BootLoaderSelector includes a silent recovery hotkey using the <strong>Up Arrow</strong> key.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">When <strong>Remember last selected bootloader</strong> is enabled, BootLoaderSelector automatically starts the last bootloader selected by the user on the next boot. This means that after choosing OpenCore or Clover once, the next boot can go directly to that bootloader without showing the BootLoaderSelector menu again.</span></span>

	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">To open the BootLoaderSelector menu again, press or hold the <strong>Up Arrow</strong> key during the BIOS/UEFI logo screen.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">No warning screen is shown. The hotkey works silently before the automatic boot starts.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">This behavior was chosen to avoid conflicts with common BIOS and motherboard hotkeys such as <strong>F8</strong>, which many systems already use for boot menu or firmware options.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">In short:</span></span>
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">First boot: BootLoaderSelector menu is shown.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Select OpenCore or Clover.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Next boot: the last selected bootloader starts automatically.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">To show BootLoaderSelector again: press/hold <strong>Up Arrow</strong> during the BIOS/UEFI logo.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">No NVRAM, BootOrder or BootNext changes are made.</span></span>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>BootLoaderSelector</strong> is a clean UEFI application for selecting between <strong>OpenCore</strong> and <strong>Clover</strong> at boot time. It is designed for users who keep both bootloaders available in the same EFI and want a simple, safe and fast way to choose which one to start.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The selector runs before macOS and loads the selected bootloader directly using standard UEFI methods. It does not patch firmware, does not modify OpenCore or Clover, does not write to NVRAM, does not create <code>Boot####</code> entries, and does not change <code>BootOrder</code> or <code>BootNext</code>.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Main features:</span></span>

	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Generates both:</span></span>
		<ul>
			<li>
				<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><code>BootLoaderSelector.efi</code></span></span>
			</li>
			<li>
				<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><code>BOOTX64.efi</code></span></span>
			</li>
		</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">No NVRAM modification</span></span>

	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">BootLoaderSelector is especially useful for Hackintosh testing, dual-bootloader EFI setups, OpenCore/Clover comparison, recovery environments and users who want a safer boot selection layer without relying on firmware boot menus.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">This project was inspired by <strong>jief666</strong>, whose work and ideas helped guide the concept of a dedicated UEFI bootloader chooser for Hackintosh systems.</span></span>
