| Kext | Description |
|---|---|
| AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext | For AMD Power Gadget. |
| SMCAMDProcessor.kext | For AMD Power Gadget. |
| AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext | Useful starting with Catalina to disable the AppleMCEReporter kext which will cause kernel panics on AMD CPUs and dual-socket systems. |
| Lilu.kext | Patch many processes, required for AppleALC, WhateverGreen, VirtualSMC and many other kexts. |
| VirtualSMC.kext | Emulates the SMC chip found on real macs, without this macOS will not boot. Alternative is FakeSMC which can have better or worse support, most commonly used on legacy hardware. |
| AppleALC.kext | Used for AppleHDA patching, allowing support for the majority of on-board sound controllers. AMD 15h/16h may have issues with this and Ryzen/Threadripper systems rarely have mic support. |
| RealtekRTL8111.kext | For Realtek's Gigabit Ethernet. Sometimes the latest version of the kext might not work properly with your Ethernet. If you see this issue, try older versions. |
| NVMeFix | Used for fixing power management and initialization on non-Apple NVMe. |
| RestrictEvents | Better experience with unsupported processors like AMD, Disable MacPro7,1 memory warnings and provide upgrade to macOS Monterey via Software Updates when available. |
| NootedRed | Used for AMD Vega iGPU support |
install after doing the OS instalation.
you can get the most recent versions of NootedRed on NootedRed
Note for Zen 4: Zen 4 (Ryzen 7000) requires patching for IOPCIFamily.kext.
This patch is enabled by default. Please ensure that you've added it to your current config for Zen 4 stability.
This patch also allows MSI A520, B550, and X570 boards to boot macOS Monterey and newer.
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system.
Find the four algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.
| macOS Version | Replace Value | New Value |
|---|---|---|
| 10.13.x, 10.14.x | B8000000 0000 | B8 < Core Count > 0000 0000 |
| 10.15.x, 11.x | BA000000 0000 | BA < Core Count > 0000 0000 |
| 12.x, 13.0 to 13.2.1 | BA000000 0090 | BA < Core Count > 0000 0090 |
| 13.3 | BA000000 00 | BA < Core Count > 0000 00 |
From the table above substitue < Core Count > with the hexadecimal value matching your physical core count.
Do not use your CPU's thread count.
See the table below for the values matching your CPU core count.
| Core Count | Hexadecimal |
|---|---|
| 4 Core | 04 |
| 6 Core | 06 |
| 8 Core | 08 |
| 12 Core | 0C |
| 16 Core | 10 |
| 24 Core | 18 |
| 32 Core | 20 |
So for example, a user with a 6-core processor should use these Replace values: B8 06 0000 0000 / BA 06 0000 0000 / BA 06 0000 0090 / BA 06 0000 00
Note: MacOS Monterey installation requires Misc -> Security -> SecureBootModel to be disabled in the config.
Also TPM needs to be disabled in the BIOS. Both can be enabled after install.
For usb mapping if usb toolbox make your hack because of 2 xhc controller, then you have to disable one of the controller on bios or via SMOKELESS UMAF, or use genericUSBXHCI from rehabman(using this you cant use usb drives, any complex usb thing than usb keyboard and mouse, but for that you can use a special fork from genericUSBXHCI (https://github.com/RattletraPM/GUX-RyzenXHCIFix/releases/tag/v1.3.0b1-ryzenxhcifix)
