still no luck with this thing. Here is my ACPI files that were extracted using F4 with clover on reboot.

 

acpi.zip

 

And here is the ACPI folder from the drive itself from the EFI folder.

[ref]cm0270[/ref], u need check what device need disable

[cm0270]

Check what device needs disabled?

I need the Nvidia Optimus 950m disabled. That is what I have been trying to do so I can just use the Intel 4600 without it eating my battery up with the Nvidia running in the background. And then getting the Intel 4600 set to 1536mb vs 7mb.

[MaLd0n]

[ref]cm0270[/ref], Yes, but what device we need disable? post a full dump

--Run_Me

RunMe.app

I have tried the new Hackintool but how do you apply the patch after the changes?

Sorry I am being a pain with this but this part is new to me.

thanks

I must be a complete and bonafide idiot because nothing I do fixes this issue.

This is the screenshot from Hackintool. Guess I am just not coordinated enough to figure this darn thing out.

Moved the config.plist from EFI folder to desktop and ran Hackintool. made what I thought was the correct changes and exported and replaced the one on the desktop.

[Allan]

When you export to Desktop, automatically the app (Hackintool) will generate a backup config.plist, and one with modifications included.

 

[cm0270]

Ok the progress so far. Managed to get Hackintool done. Thankfully. I copied the config.plist from the EFI folder to desktop and ran Hackintool and saw the backup one it created. copied it to EFI folder and renamed it to config.plist. Intel HD4600 showing up now as 1536mb as it should be.

Only problem left is the Nvidia 950m showing up though. That is the main thing trying to get figured out.

Also any clue what the best SMBIOS to use as well? Does that make any difference also?

Attached is copy of config.plist also that I am currently using.

 

config.plist.zip

 

This is the output from Hackintool:

[ref]cm0270[/ref], as for your smbios it should be imac 18,3

[onemanosx]

[ref]erroruser[/ref], [ref]cm0270[/ref], if its a laptop use the macbook series smbios. Choose the one closest to your cpu type.

[cm0270]

Got the smbios listed as MacBook Air. Closest thing to my Haswell i7.

Still trying to figure out how to disable this Nvidia 950m dedicated graphics card.
