INSTALL NOTES​

Using PlistEdit Pro, Xcode or ProperTree add your details by modifying the following

WIFI / BLUETOOTH​

IF NOT USING A BROADCOM WIFI PCI-E CARD

If you are using internal Intel wifi-bluetooth, use Intel wifi-bluetooth kext. Just enable the two intel-related entries under Kernel -> Add and disable the two entries which start with Brcm. Also rename USBMap.kext to USBMap(Broadcom).kext and rename USBMap(with Intel BT).kextUSBMap(with Intel BT).kext to USBMap.kext

GPU​

IF NOT USING AMD RX 6950 XT

Remove EFI/OC/ACPI/SSDT-GPU-6950XT.aml and remove it from conflig.plist ( ACPI -> Add ).

IF NOT USING AMD RDN2 GRAPHIC CARD

Remove agdpmod=pikera from bootflags.

CPU​

IMPORTANT - PATCH INFO FOR SETTING THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU

Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.

Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA 0000 0000/BA 0000 0090* substituting with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.

Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12

See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.

CoreCount	Hexadecimal
6 Core	06
8 Core	08
12 Core	0C
16 Core	10
32 Core	20

So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090 Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090
