SSDT

SSDT-PLUG.aml (Injects plugin type 1; No longer required beginning with Monterey 12.3)
SSDT-EC-USBX.aml (Injects fake Embedded Controller; USBX, USB power properties allow high power charging for iPhone, iPad, etc)
SSDT-DMAR.aml (Modifed to remove Reserved Memory Regions from OEM DMAR Table. This is required to fix issues with WiFi/ethernet when enabling AppleVTD. Don't forget to drop OEM DMAR table in ACPI section of the OpenCore config.plist first)
SSDT-SBUS-MCHC.aml (Injects SBUS.BUS0.BLC0 and MCHC)
SSDT-TB3HP.aml (SSDT for Thunderbolt hotplug)
SSDT-AWAC.aml (Disables AWAC clock and HPET; enables RTC to fix system clock)
SSDT-COSMETIC.aml (Optional; injects fake or missing devices and rename devices)
- Injects: PNLF, THRM, SRAM, XSPI
- RP02.PXSX to GIGE -> Intel I225 Ethernet
- RP03.PXSX to ARPT -> FV-T919 in PCIEx1 slot
- RP09.PXSX to SSD0 -> 1st M.2 slot (M2A_CPU) * Disables SATA 1 port when occupied by M.2 PCIe SSD
- RP17.PXSX to SSD1 -> 2nd M.2 slot (M2M_SB) * Disables SATA 4 and 5 ports when occupied by M.2 PCIe SSD
- RP21.PXSX to SSD2 -> 3rd M.2 Slot (M2P_SB) * Shares bandwidth with PCIEX4
SSDT-LPCB.aml (injects DMAC, FWHD, and ARTC devices under LPCB) Note that these are mostly for cosmetic thus optional.
SSDT-USBW.aml (Single-key wake from sleep; associated with USBWakeFixup.kext)

Kexts

VirtualSMC and plugins
Lilu.kext
AppleALC.kext (Compiled to work with "layout-id 11" only)
WhateverGreen.Kext
CPUFriend.kext
CPUFriendDataProvider.kext (For i9-10900K)
NVMeFix.kext
USBPorts.kext (Ports: HS03, HS04, HS05, HS06, HS07, HS08, HS09, HS10, HS11, HS12, SS03, SS04, SS05, SS06, SS07)
- Works on iMac20,2, iMac18,3, iMac19,1, iMacPro1,1 and MacPro7,1
IntelMausi.kext (I219 Ethernet)
FakePCIID.kext (Required for FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext and FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext)
FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext (Required for onboard Audio to work in Sierra ~ Mojave)
FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext (Nessary for native I225 Ethernet driver in macOS Catalina along with fake device-id injection)

Note: In macOS Big Sur+, AppleEthernetE1000 driver kit natively attaches to i225 ethernet. Thus, FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext is no longer needed for native driver. However, if the ethernet port is occupied without having AppleVTD enabled with modifed DMAR table, the system will experience freeze, crash, and etc. To avoid having these issues, we need to enable AppleVTD with the following.

Enabling AppleVTD
```
  - Enable VT-d in BIOS, 
  - Kernel -> Quirks -> DisableIoMapper -> False
  - Kernel -> Quirks -> DisableIoMapperMapping -> True (Required for Ventura 13.3+; see the macOS Ventura note section)
  - Drop OEM DMAR Table in config.plist
  - Inject modified DMAR Table(Reserved Memory Regions removed) in Config.plist
```
USBWakeFixup.kext (Works with SSDT-USBW. Causes Bluetooth issue in Monterey+; thus set minkernel to 19.0 and max kernel to 20.9.9)

Note: One may wish to continue using USBWakeFixup.kext in macOS Monterey+. If so, you may set memory clock speed below 2933 MHz or use Bluesnooze without configuring memory clock speed below 2933 MHz.
AppleIGC.kext (Alternative ethernet kext for Intel I225 and I226; tested to work in macOS Sierra+)

Note: Injecting this kext requires disabling native AppleEthernetE1000 dext driver with the following boot-args.
- Big Sur ~ Monterey 12.2.1: dk.e1000=0
- Monterey 12.3 or newer: e1000=0
Support for Intel I225 Ethernet was first introduced in macOS Catalina. However, with this kext, we can use I225 Ethernet even in older macOS like Sierra. Also, if the I225 Ethernet is the only reason for enabling AppleVTD which have been problematic, using AppleIGC.kext that does not require AppleVTD will give less headaches down the road

Drivers

HfsPlus.efi
OpenCanopy.efi
OpenRuntime.efi
CrScreenshotDxe.efi
AudioDxe.efi (Causes a good 4~5 second delay at splash screen thus disabled)

To enable boot chime in Opencore Boot Picker, make the following changes.
```
  - UEFI -> Audio -> AudioSupport -> Yes
  - UEFI -> Drivers -> Enable AudioDxe.efi
```

macOS Update Notes

Common Requirements for Sierra ~ Catalina

SecureBootModel -> Disabled
UEFI -> APFS -> MinDate and MinVersion -> -1

macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Change SMBIOS to iMac18,3 (Required)
Spoof to Kaby Lake CPUIDs (Required)
Inject ig-platform-id: <03001259> device-id: <12590000> (Necessary for iGPU acceleration)
Inject rps-control property instead of igfxfw (Necessary for iGPU acceleration and improvement)
Add boot-arg -disablegfxfirmware (To prevent firmware load attempt. Necessary for iGPU acceleration)
FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext for onboard audio

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Change SMBIOS to iMac18,3 (Required)
Spoof to Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake CPUIDs (Required)
Inject AAPL,ig-platform-id: <03001259> device-id: <12590000> (Necessary for iGPU acceleration)
Inject rps-control property instead of igfxfw (Necessary for iGPU acceleration and improvement)
FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext for onboard audio

macOS Mojave

SMBIOS iMac19,1
Spoof to Coffee Lake CPUIDs
Inject AAPL,ig-platform-id: <0300983E> device-id: <9B3E0000> (Necessary for iGPU acceleration)
Inject rps-control property instead of igfxfw (Necessary for iGPU acceleration and improvement)
FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext for onboard audio
Added NVMeFix.kext

macOS Catalina

SMBIOS iMac19,1 or may use iMac20,2 for Catalina 10.15.6+
May set SecureBootModel to "j185f" if on SMBIOS iMac20,2 (Requires Catalina 10.15.6+)
Inject AAPL,ig-platform-id: <0300C59B> device-id: <9B3E0000> (May not be necessary if WhatEverGreen.Kext is used)
Inject igfxfw property (Necessary for iGPU performance improvement)
Added USBWakeFixup.kext, SSDT-USBW.aml
Intel I225 Ethernet requires FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext + Fake device-id injection to use native ethernet driver.

macOS Big Sur

SecureBootModel -> j185f
UEFI -> APFS -> MinDate and MinVersion -> 0
Injecting AAPL,slot-name for iGPU or dGPU breaks certain encoding functions(H264) in FCPX
Intel I225 Ethernet is natively supported in Big Sur 11.3+ (Enabling AppleVTD with modified DMAR table should be enough to get I225-V working. However, for some I225-V versions, updating EEPROM register with I225Mod may be necessary)

macOS Monterey

USBWakeFixup.kext causes bluetooth issue after sleep/wake cycle
- Two possible workarounds
  - Set memory clock speed below 2933 MHz (This may also resolve "Disk not ejected properly" pop-up)
  - Bluesnooze
Beginning with Monterey 12.3, SSDT-PLUG.aml is no longer required

macOS Ventura

As of Ventura 13.1, 9 out of 10 times my bluetooth Apple Magic Keyboard and Trackpad do not respond on startup unless bluetooth or the devices itself has been toggled off and on again with USB mouse. This also seems to be a problem with real Macs as well, as decribed here

Workaround

Update: This issue has been resolved in Ventura 13.3
As of Ventura 13.3, a WiFi and the Intel I219 Ethernet no longer work if AppleVTD is enabled. One must apply the patch discovered by CaseySJ to resolve such behavior.

Update: This patch is incorporated into OpenCore 0.9.2 as a DisableIoMapperMapping kernel quirk.

macOS Sonoma

As noted by the OCLP developers, Apple removed support for IO80211FamilyLegacy stack which is responsible for supporting wireless cards used in Macs whose support have been ended in the previous macOS versions including Sonoma. This also impacts Fenvi FV-T919 card which uses BCM4360 chipset. To bring the support back, injection of the kexts from macOS Ventura, IOSkywalkFamily.kext, IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext, and AirPortBrcmNIC.kext in order along with OCLP's Modern Wireless patch is necessary.

Notes:
- SecureBootModel, SIP(0x803), and AMFI(amfi=0x80) need to be disabled in order to apply Modern Wireless patch by OCLP.
- Disabling AMFI may not be necessary to apply Modern Wireless patch if AMFIPass.kext v1.3.1 is injected with -amfipassbeta (Will need to use this flag until the kext is updated for Sonoma)
- Blocking native IOSkywalkFamily.kext in macOS Sonoma and injecting the IOSkywalkFamily.kext from macOS Ventura may break the I225 ethernet using AppleEthernetE1000 dext driver. For workaround, one may use AppleIGC.kext or AppleIntelEthernet210.kext with e1000=0 boot argument which disables AppleEthernetE1000 dext driver.
SecureBootModel may need to be set to "Disabled" before installing or updating to Sonoma 14.4, otherwise you may experience bootloop after the first stage of installation/update process. SecureBootModel can be enabled afterwards.
