Didn't help. I still can't login into Filevaulted Tahoe.

What about VoodooHDA?

Yes I successfully installed Tahoe with Clover. Four sequential reboots, final stage "nine seconds remains..." and I see desktop. But WindowsServer crashed a few seconds later because of Polaris card. Clover is perfect for Tahoe but I wait until Apple will cure WindowServer.

It was NVME? And BIOS saw it before? What is changed? Before you started any OS.

You may exclude for installation any 4-8 first HS** ports to have SS** ports working. Only for installation! And then remap.

I will look but I think (as well as Vit9696) that this patch should be avoided because using more then 15 ports per hub may cause undefined behaviour of the system because for port number there are only 4 bits (0..15) and extra bit may overlaps other bit. The patch may be used initial for testing which connector is from which port to create own port maps. This port maps will exclude some unnecessary ports to have only 15 of them. See my LegacyUSB3.kext https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KCGk/cRHbqg4sw

Sorry but the problem with your BIOS. I have GA170 motherboard with M2 slot. I inserted here NVMe noname drive (China) just boot and install here Clover and Sequoia. Nothing to do in BIOS. Nothing to do in Clover. Now I boot from EFI from the NVME drive, choose Sequoia and all is fine.

Because of well known USB issue. See the discussion.

yes, but the problem is GPU. Choose AMD RX6800 and all will be OK.

What is your amd gpu? I had no success with RX570 as other users.

Use FakeCPUID and discrete graphics like RX5700

A user from ApplelIfe has a success https://i.applelife.ru/2025/06/508414_Snimok_ehkrana_2025-06-10_v_10.03.39.jpg

I am a little busy this week but I hope to install Tahoe beta. Clover 5162 is ready for Tahoe.

Maybe I should join the team too? And we will have Ravyntosh 😎

Hi, RYTD74 Dell E6430 with BIOS A12 have a setting in the BIOS Optimus on/off. If I set it to OFF then Intel HD4000 became OFF and Nvidia 5200 became the only card in the system. It has Fermi core so works up to ElCapitan and in Sierra with bugs. I used it in ElCapitan and had Brightness control with it.

It was investigated on old hardware and applied to Dell E6430 with Intel HD4000. As well this patch allowed me to have brightness control on discrete Nvidia 5200 in this laptop.

I want to add that if you want to see brightness control at System Preferences then you should add such properties for the video device <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>@0,backlight-control</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>AAPL,HasLid</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>AAPL,HasPanel</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>AAPL,backlight-control</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>graphic-options</key> <data>DAAAAA==</data> <key>subsystem-vendor-id</key> <data>axAAAA==</data> </dict>

I want also presents other branch of PS2 drivers development. https://github.com/SergeySlice/VoodooPS2-for-ALPS It forked by me from DrHurt work and intended mostly for ALPS touchpad presented on most Dell laptops. And I know it is better than acidantera's version. The driver also includes Synaptic codes but I have no experience with it and not tested.

I want to present advanced audio driver for macOS. It is VoodooHDA. It was developed since 2009 and now works is Tahoe as well. Latest version is 3.0.3 but someone reported that it was not working for him and he uses 2.9.7. I attached both versions. Sources are located on GitHub https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/VoodooHDA Old versions can be found on sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/ there is also utility for check audio configuration in the hardware (getdump) and VoodooHDA.prefPane for fine tuning. History and credits The driver was created by Fassle from FreeBSD sources. It was version 0.21. Then we improved and remaked the driver: me, AutumnRain, Zenith432 and different forums members mentioned in the driver sources. Now only me is active developer and maintainer. Advantages over AppleHDA: 1. We can work with external microphone. And other mics problems. 2. We can make 5.1 or 7.1 sound because of joining several channels into one stream. 3. We can work on AMD chipset (not sure if AppleHDA can't) 4. We don't use square force so less non-linear distortion. Theory how it works A chipset contains an audio HDA chip like 4:823 0:000 PCI (00|00:1B.00) : 8086 3A3E class=040300 which connected by own interface with other chip called audio codec for example HDA Codec #0: Realtek ALC1150 HDA Codec ID: 0x10ec0900 The driver sends some commands (verbs) by PCI interface to HDA chip which tune the HDA codec. Attention! The driver will not work with USB interface! Essential here is HDA standard. The driver will work with those audio systems (chip+codec) which obey HDA standards with a little discrepancies. For example it will not work with Creative Audio or with Aureal which have own audio interfaces. Some discrepancy observed with external microphones which usually don't work with AppleHDA. But VoodooHDA has own workaround for this case and so has more chances to make all microphones to be working. The driver tunes the codec to make chains from Digital-to-Analog-Converter (DAC) to Amplifiers and Outputs, and chains from Inputs to amplifiers and to Analog-to-Digital-Converter (ADC) which will transfer signals to memory for use in system applications. For example Node is a small device in the codec chip: DAC, ADC, amplifier, mixer, or I/O connector. Each node has ID from 1 to 60 depends on the chip. The driver can switch on and off different connections between nodes so created a chain from Digital interface to In/Out. The driver does this by own algorithms like AI so in most cases it works out of box. But we (developers) made a possibility to influence on AI so that it makes better connections or say better for the user. How to install Since BigSur it is not possible to install the kext as usual by a bootloader (OpenCore or Clover). Not possible! The procedure must be follow: Exclude other Audio kexts Set SIP disable kext or just sudo nvram csr-active-config=0xA85 or just 0x0001 Reboot sudo cp -R /path_to/VoodooHDA.kext /Library/Extensions/ Wait while the system saids that the kext must be approved Go to System Settings and approve the kext. Reboot. Enjoy your favorite music. Don't say an item is already done and can be skipped! Don't ignore reboots! HDMI sound The driver supports HDMI sound on Nvidia graphics card but doesn't support AMD HDMI "Real Audio". For this case you should 1. Edit your DSDT so that the sound device will be HDAS. Don't allow opencore to change it to HDEF! 2. Edit VoodooHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist to exclude IOPCIClassMatch and write here IONameMatch like this <key>VoodooHDA</key> <dict> <key>AllowMSI</key> <true/> <key>Boost</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>org.voodoo.driver.VoodooHDA</string> <key>DisableInputMonitor</key> <false/> <key>IOClass</key> <string>VoodooHDADevice</string> <key>IONameMatch</key> <string>HDAS</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> <key>IOUserClientClass</key> <string>VoodooHDAUserClient</string> <key>InhibitCache</key> <false/> Ok. Now chipset sound will be controlled by VoodooHDA while Graphics card HDMI audio will be controlled by systems AppleGFXHDA.kext which is developed exactly for some AMD and Intel HDMI sound. How to tune AI to make better sound chains Take getdump utility and launch it in the Terminal.app. The dump like follow Probing codec #0...

Here is the initial chains found by the codec. If this is OK for you then you may relax. As you see I have three line-out in group 1 so making me 5.1 sound. Also I have two SPDIF-outs, CD out (?) - not needed, not checked, headphone, line-in and microphone. It is enough for me. If something is not good I later will create instructions what to do. getdump.zip VoodooHDA.kext-297.zip VoodooHDA.kext-302.zip VoodooHDA.prefPane-289.zip

There is a driver for USB variant RT8192EU but no chances for PCIe variant RT8192EE

Use RestrictEvent.kext and readme for it. Since 15.1.1 you will get automatic updates with SMBIOS iMac19,1 but not with 15.0.1.

Piker Alpha never saw Intel Ultra. I have Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual but dated 2021. I expected new manual with Intel Ultra processor to know what is the difference.

I will wait until it supports Photoshop.

May be wait for Intel datasheet on such CPU?

I don't know how it works but may be replace VirtualSMC(+SMCProcessor) to FakeSMC(+IntelCPUMonitor) which has a revision adopted to this processor. https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/FakeSMC3_with_plugins/releases/tag/251 And new Clover has generating SSDT with P-State for such processor. <key>Generate</key> <dict> <key>APLF?</key> <false/> <key>APSN?</key> <false/> <key>PluginType?</key> <false/> <key>CStates</key> <true/> <key>PStates</key> <true/> </dict>
