Not working

1. FN + media controller's key
2. The support for DRM contents is limited due to incompatible firmware. Please see the DRM Compatibility Chart.

Attention please

1. Note that this fork is mostly for my laptop only (X510UA-BQ490). If yours has similar features such as no dGPU and no KB backlight, try, but at your own risk. Otherwise, please go to hieplpvip's Zenbook repository or S510UA hackintosh repository.
2. Please read the whole README before doing anything. It's strange that some people ask me unrelated things and whatever things they want and they come at me when they're told they have asked useless things.

Steps to install

1. Read Configuration.pdf.
2. Read Dortania guides.
3. Prepare USB drive with macOS installer mounted on it.
4. Download this repository and copy and paste the OC and BOOT folders to USB EFI partition.
5. Boot into USB and select macOS installer and install.
6. Mount EFI and copy USB EFI to the system EFI partition.
7. Replace the numbers in SMBIOS.

• Note: You may want to complete these extra steps.
  • You have Sleep and Airplane fn keys -- Activate Sleep and Airplane fn keys
  • You want to enable full power management -- Unlock MSR 0xE2 (CFG Lock)

Activate Sleep and Airplane fn keys

1. Download AsusSMC.
2. Run install_daemon.sh by dragging it onto terminal.

Unlock MSR 0xE2 (CFG Lock)

1. Follow Dortania's guide.

• Note: You need to know which UEFI BIOS version matches your laptop model. Otherwise, there may be a permanent damage to your laptop. If you are unsure, use ControlMsrE2.efi bundled in OpenCore instead in which case you are still at your own risk.

When you think you are done

1. Read Configuration.pdf and Dortania guides again to understand what you have.
