Acidanthera Updates: A message from PMheart Changelogs Acidanthera Updates: A message from PMheart Prior to a nice Christmas and New Year vacation, we slightly updated some of our projects. To begin with, OpenCore 0.8.7 introduced several minor changes primarily in the GUI. With some reverse engineering from @mikebeaton, and additional helpful input from @cdf and @tsialex, we have now added support for Apple builtin picker on models GPUs without Mac-EFI support, and now the selected entry can be successfully launched using BootKicker.efi or PickerMode Apple. As well, @dakanji updated spoof proof UEFI 2.x checking to OpenVariableRuntimeDxe. After some discussion, we introduced Misc -> Boot -> HibernateSkipsPicker not to show picker if waking from macOS hibernation, as a boolean value, in lieu of string settings. @Shaneee fixed TSC/FSB for AMD CPUs in ProvideCurrentCpuInfo; and @mikebeaton removed unwanted clear screen when launching non-text boot entry. We would also like to thank @dreamwhite who helped created the com.apple.recovery.boot folder hiearchy in our macrecovery script. @Goldfish64 created daemons for each userspace function replacing hvutil and added Guest Services integration service support, together with the fix of high storage latency when heaving network I/O is occurring. These changes are included in MacHyperVSupport 0.9.3. In FeatureUnlock 1.1.1, @khronokernel resolved patch regression on Macmini8,1 and iPad models. Thanks to @nikey22’s contribution, W7170M/S7100X ID is now included in WhateverGreen 1.6.2. In addition, @Andrey1970AppleLife, @dreamwhite, @perez987, and @unChiled helped produce a more readable version of README documentation. After months of silence, @lvs1974 made HibernationFixup 1.4.7 respect parameters standbydelaylow, standbydelayhigh, highstandbythreshold set via pmset utility, and introduced a new bit in hbfx-ahbm boot-arg: DoNotOverrideWakeUpTime = 64, to let macOS decide when wake for standby sleep maintenance. Starting with VoodooPS2 2.3.2, a new boot argument ps2kbdonly=1 is introduced by @Kethen to prevent touchpad line from being disabled on reboot. For AppleALC 1.7.7, we appreciate @littlesum contributing a new layout-id 68 for ALC256 for nuc9.

Super!

Does the Apple builtin picker already work with this release on a MP5.1? Are any additional modifications necessary? Where can we get more details about it?

[mikebeaton]

Yes, info about this is included in the documentation. Search for PickerMode=Apple, which you (probably) don't want to use, and BootKicker.efi tool which you probably do want to use, combined with the FullNvramAccess=true tool option. Note that BootKicker.efi selects a permanent (with CTRL) or temporary (without) next boot item, then reboots and starts it.

Thanks! I stumbled about the notes of the change log and wondered, if it were a way to get a native boot picker on my Mac Pro with an RX 580. I got an EFI boot picker on my iMac 12.2 thanks to the work by some great guys and thought something similar could work with the cMP.

I will look into the references you gave me. In case it is still to experimental for me, I will wait for further developments and documentations to appear.
