> **Please Note**: This is only a personal build backup, not a textbook standard guide. If you are looking for a guide please go to **[this page](https://dortania.github.io/getting-started/)** for more informations.

## Limitation

This configuration may **ONLY** suitable for those who have **BOTH iGPU (computing only) AND dGPU**. If you are using specs that have only iGPU or dGPU, I suggest not using this configuration, or you may experience some other undefined behaviours.

This is a process that requires proper debugging skills, sometimes depending on specific hardware with a little bit of luck. Decent OS running experience can only be guaranteed with specs very much the same as mine if you decide to use this configuration.

## Configuration Explain

Things may vary per device and you may want to customize it, which I will **mark with * at the beginning**. Let's take a look from the folder level:

- `SSDT-AWAC`: Re-enable the old RTC clock that is compatible with macOS.
  - `SSDT-EC-USBX`: Create fake EC device for desktop and fix USB power.
  - `SSDT-PLUG`: Allow the kernel's XCPM (XNU's CPU Power Management) to manage our CPU's power management. Auto detect.
  - `SSDT-PMCR`: Fix NVRAM support for 300 series motherboard.
  - `* SSDT-SBUS-MCHC`: Not necessary. Fix AppleSMBus support.

</details>

<details><summary>Drivers</summary>

- `OpenRuntime.efi`: Work with `Booter` quirks in config.plist.
  - `HfsPlus.efi`: Support HFS+ File System which is used by Recovery and Time Machine.
  - `OpenCanopy.efi`: Bring GUI for OpenCore.

</details>

<details><summary>Kexts</summary>

- `Lilu`: Other kexts depending on this one.
  - `VirtualSMC`: SMC emulator layer.
  - `SMCProcessor`: CPU sensor support.
  - `SMCSuperIO`: IO sensor support.
  - `WhateverGreen`: Various patches necessary for GPU.
  - `AppleALC`: Native macOS HD audio for not officially supported codecs.
  - `IntelMausi`: Intel Ethernet LAN driver for macOS.
  - `NVMeFix`: Fix random kernel panic after wake caused by NVMe device.
  - `AirportBrcmFixup`: Fix Wi-Fi lagging after wake.
  - `* USBPorts`: Custom USB ports mapping for iMac19,2. Ports mapping may vary per device. This kext can be used directly if your USB ports are same as mine:
    
      ```zsh
      1.  HS01 - Internal - BRCM20702 Hub
      2.  HS03 - Internal - USB Keyboard
      3.  HS04 - Internal - USB Mouse
      4.  HS05 - USB 3 - Back USB 3 (SS01)
      5.  HS07 - USB 2 - Back USB 2
      6.  HS08 - USB 2 - Back USB 2
      7.  HS09 - USB 3 - Front USB 3 (SS05)
      8.  HS10 - USB 3 - Front USB 3 (SS06)
      9.  SS01 - Type 3 - Back USB 3
      10. SS02 - TypeC+Sw - Back Type C
      11. SS05 - USB 3 - Front USB 3
      12. SS06 - USB 3 - Front USB 3
      ```

</details>
 
<details><summary>Resources</summary>

- Here put OpenCanopy resources.

</details>

<details><summary>Tools</summary>

- `* ResetSystem.efi`: I choose `Firmware` argument in config.plist to reboot into BIOS firmware settings when necessary. Change as you wish.

</details>

<details><summary>config.plist</summary>

- `* DeviceProperties`: I put `layout-id`, `igfxfw` and `shikigva` arguments here. You can delete them from here and put into boot-args if you wish.  
    Here I choose `layout-id 92` to fix audio. Even if the `Address` is not the same with our spec, I find it working well with this layout.  
    I use `shikigva 80` to fix DRM, delete it if you are experiencing screen freezing issue.
    The `igfxfw` value here is used to load Apple GuC firmware, delete it if you are experiencing display issues.
  - `* Generic`: You should generate SMBIOS info by using [GenSMBIOS](https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS) to fix iServices, and make sure it is "Invalid Serial" or "Purchase Date not Validated" (i.e., no conflict with real Macs) for your own good by checking [Apple Check Coverage page](https://checkcoverage.apple.com/).

## Known Issues

### "I have to press keys twice to wake up."

- It may related to HID Tickle mode. The simplest way is to try adding boot argument `darkwake=no` (or `=1`? `=2`?). BUT it might also cause monitor to wake up during darkwake, or simply cannot sleep itself. Use at your own risk.

> The default value on macOS Catalina for `gDarkWakeFlags` is `0x00000003`, which equals to `3` (`kDarkWakeFlagHIDTickleNone`). So by default Darkwake should not post any HID Tickle's. This also reveals the secret why some users encounter issues with frozen peripheral device's on Hack's when Power Nap is enabled. To use Darkwake on Hack's require very well configured USB ports.

  > — [holyfield](https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/342002-darkwake-on-macos-catalina-boot-args-darkwake8-darkwake10-are-obsolete/)

- Or try adding `SSDT-USBW.aml` and `USBWakeFixup.kext`. You can find them in the `/Extras` folder.

### "DRM won't work after I update Safari 14."

- Yes, Safari 14 breaks DRM patch on both Catalina and Big Sur on `iMac19,1` SMBIOS w/ `shikigva=80`.
- I'm not sure if `iMacPro1,1` SMBIOS w/ `shikigva=128` will do any better.

### "Apple Music can't play or keeps skipping songs."

- This is also a DRM issue.
- Try disabling loseless option in Apple Music preference.
- If this doesn't help, try run `defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDKE -boolean yes` in terminal to forces AMD DRM decoder for streaming services.
- If this still doesn't help, try some other combinations described in Acidanthera's [WhateverGreen Chart](https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.Chart.md#drm-compatibility-on-macos-11).
