Uh, yes, I'm familiar with Open core vanilla guide. I went through it twice, it was much clearer than clover and co. But I only found it after wasting two weeks down clover and tonymacx86 rabbit holes. I don't want to go there again. OpenCore or I drop getting macOS on this machine.
I went through the OpenCore guide twice, eh, and now that you read that twice maybe you believe me? ? I managed to make a half bootable usb. It didn't have an install macOS entry.
OC-Gen-X looked like a cleaner way to approach things. I wanted to try that, see if I get anywhere. So far I can't get it to work on VirtualBox and I don't know anyone who has a mac I can borrow. I also don't have XCode so I can't debug the app even if I wanted to.
