How to get SMBios MacBookPro8,2 working on my Asus G73sw?

[FCU4ever]

I succesfully installed MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my Asus G73sw laptop with the MacBookPro10,1 SMBios. My Hackintosh also work with the MacBookPro10,1 SMBios. The problem is that MacBookPro10,1 is for “Ivy Bridge” laptops and not for “Sandy Bridge” like mine. Because of the MacBookPro10,1 SMBios I’m unable to generate a SSDT.aml file with ssdtPRGen.sh from Piker-Alpha.

 

 

My Asus G73sw laptop has an Intel I7-2630QM processor and a Nvidia GTX460m videocard. The SMBios that comes close to my specifications is the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios. I changed the SMBios to MacBookPro8,2 with CloverConfigurator, copied the config.plist to my EFI folder and reboot -> black screen.

Then I tried a few things to get the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios working:

- Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and add the below to KextToPatch

com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy

BA050000 00

BA000000 00

Prevent AGDP from loading

Reboot -> Apple bar won’t load

- Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and changed productname to iMac13,2

Reboot -> Apple bar load but get a blackscreen

- Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and changed productname to iMac13,2 and add the below to KextToPatch

com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy

BA050000 00

BA000000 00

Prevent AGDP from loading

Reboot -> laptop boots good

So the laptop boots with the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios when I changed the productname and add a few lines to my kextToPatch. Changing the productname isn’t the right solution I think because I’m again not able to generate a SSDT.aml.

Can someone help me to get the MacBookPro8,2 SMBios working so that I can generate a correct SSDT.aml for my hackintosh

Hi,

Thanks for your response. With the knowledge that SSdtPregen should only be used for Ivy Bridge CPU's and up and my CPU is Sandy Bridge I decided to stay on SMbios MBP10,1 and edit my config.plist with CloverConfigurator to generate my C- and P-states. If I'm right I don't need an SSDT anymore?

Hello everyone,

Ive a problem to do the Native Power Management patch to get the PC awake after sleep.

I want to use the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS because this MacBookPro comes close to my CPU.

When Im trying to generate the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS with CloverConfigurator and inject Nvidia and boot with nvda_drv=1 and add the board-id to GraphicsDevicePolicy.kext. After reboot the apple logo shows up, loader start loading, at the end I get a black screen.

The strange part is that when I generate the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS with CloverConfigurator and ONLY change the productname to iMac13,2, inject Nvidia and boot with nvda_drv=1 and add the board-id to GraphicsDevicePolicy.kext. After reboot the mac boots well. But I cant run ./ssdtPRGen.sh because the board-ID mismatch model.

The problem is that there isnt a SMBIOS with SandyBridge and Nvidia.

Hope someone can help me
