OpenCore Legacy Patcher

OpenCore Legacy Patcher unterstützt jetzt macOS, wer also macOS auf einem älteren Mac nutzen möchte, sollte den OpenCore Legacy Patcher nutzen.

This release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.5.3 is primarily a bug fix release. Main fixes implemented include:

  • Resolves audio support regression on certain pre-2012 machines
  • Resolves WindowServer crashing on KDK-less installs in 13.2 with Rapid Security Response updates
  • Resolves AirPlay to Mac support in macOS Ventura on VMM configs
  • Resolves AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kernel panic in safe mode

And other miscellaneous fixes and improvements listed in the full changelog.


Other machines such as 2008-2012 Mac Pros and non-Metal Graphics Card machines are still in active development. We'd appreciate your patience as we work through these issues. Stay on macOS Monterey until the Patcher has been updated to support your model.

  • Installing macOS Ventura on older models will likely result in lack of Graphics Acceleration, broken USB 1.1, Keyboard, TrackPad and Bluetooth and other issues. Zero support is offered for those systems at this time.

For machines with legacy Metal Graphics Cards, we'd recommend checking out macOS Ventura and OpenCore Legacy Patcher Support #1008 for overall support with these cards.

Reminder: For proper support, remain on macOS Monterey.

    1.2.1 is a bug fix release for OpenCore Legacy Patcher's Launch Agent failing to load after macOS updates. This update is not critical, however helps streamline the update flow for end users. For those upgrading prior to OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.2.0, see below:

    With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher v1.2.0, some noteworthy improvements are dropping!

    • Resolve 4k output rendering on 2017 4k iMacs.
      • Applicable for iMac18,2.
    • Resolve LLDB crashing on extracted frameworks and binaries.
    • Better handling of T1 Security Chips.
      • Applicable for TouchBar-based 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros.
      • If you find the TouchBar is non-functional in Sonoma, you may need to boot Ventura to reinstall the T1's firmware.
    • New Launch Daemons for preparing the host for macOS updates.
      • Cleaning potentially problematic kernel extensions.
      • Fetching KDKs for incoming OS, reducing the need for network connection after updating.

    And more fixes and improvements listed in the changelog below. Hope everyone enjoys the new release!

    As to be expected, macOS Sonoma 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.
