OpenCore Legacy Patcher v2.0.2

Allows for the installation and usage of macOS Big Sur and newer on Macs as old as 2007.





Features:
• Support for macOS Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma and Sequoia
• Native Over the Air (OTA) System Updates
• Supports Penryn and newer Macs
• Full support for WPA Wi-Fi and Personal Hotspot on BCM943224 and newer wireless chipsets
• System Integrity Protection, FileVault 2, .im4m Secure Boot and Vaulting
• Recovery OS, Safe Mode and Single-user Mode booting on non-native OSes
• Unlocks features such as Sidecar and AirPlay to Mac even on native Macs
• Enables enhanced SATA and NVMe power management on non-Apple storage devices
• Zero firmware patching required (ie. APFS ROM patching)
• Graphics acceleration for both Metal and non-Metal GPUs

Note 1: Only clean-installs and upgrades are supported. macOS Big Sur installs already patched with other patchers, such as Patched Sur or bigmac, cannot be used due to broken file integrity with APFS snapshots and SIP.

You can, however, reinstall macOS with this patcher and retain your original data

Note 2: Currently, OpenCore Legacy Patcher officially supports patching to run macOS Big Sur through Sonoma installs. For older OSes, OpenCore may function; however, support is currently not provided from Dortania.

Getting Started
To start using the project, please see the in-depth guide:
OpenCore Legacy Patcher Guide

Support
This project is offered on an AS-IS basis, dortania does not guarantee support for any issues that may arise. However, there is a community server with other passionate users and developers that can aid you:
OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server

• Keep in mind that the Discord server is maintained by the community, so be respectful.
• Please review the docs on how to debug with OpenCore to gather important information to help others with troubleshooting.

Changes from the developers:
v2.0.2 is a bug fix release for 2.0.0/2.0.1 to handle some bugs with Nvidia GPUs, general graphics bugs and macOS 15.1 support. See below for new changes introduced with 2.0.0:
With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.0, we're proud to announce macOS Sequoia support! And with it, 83 unsupported Mac models will be able to run Apple's latest operating system!

With macOS Sequoia, we spent many months working tirelessly to get these old machines running. And because of the sheer number of different hardware we support and the challenges of working on a closed-source operating system, not all features are currently available.

Main limitations with macOS Sequoia:
• Lack of support for recently dropped 2018 T2 MacBook Airs (MacBookAir8,x).
macOS Sequoia and OpenCore Legacy Patcher Support #1136
• Single CPU limitation on 2008 Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) and 2008 Xserve (Xserve2,1).
Booting with more than 4 cores breaks Sequoia, OpenCore Legacy Patcher will automatically disable additional cores.
When running an older OS, you can disable this limitation in Settings.
• Photos Application is non-functional for non-Metal-based graphics cards.
Applicable for pre-2012 Macs (See table below).

Non-Metal Graphics Models:
• MacBook5,1 - MacBook7,1 (Early 2008 - Mid 2010)
• MacBookAir2,1 - MacBookAir4,x (Mid 2008 - Mid 2011)
• MacBookPro4,1 - MacBookPro8,x (Late 2008 - Late 2011)
• iMac7,1 - iMac12,x (Mid 2007 - Mid 2011)
• Macmini3,1 - Macmini5,x (Early 2009 - Mid 2011)
• MacPro3,1 - MacPro5,1 (Early 2008 - Mid 2012)

Affected GPU Model

We hope as time passes, we'll be able to tackle these issues. However for now, we're unable to provide any timeline when it'll be resolved.

Additionally we recommend users check the graphics issues to see what may not be fully supported:
Legacy Metal Graphics Support and macOS Ventura - Sequoia #1008
Legacy Non-Metal GPUs and MacOS Big Sur - Sequoia #108

As to be expected, macOS Sequoia support is still in active development. This is a community-driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use older OSes if you encounter issues that affect you.
