@SuperMaks , thank you – great to see somebody is taking care of this beast. Is there any chance to also get a version with the MSR 0xE2 register unlocked?
Oh, I didnt even know about that. Thank you for your question. I have patched MSR and updated firmware in post. But I didnt tested yet( So you can check it yourself or wait until weekends, I will test it on my MB.
hey guys, thanks for being so helpful & responsive! really really thankful for your effort, unfortunately it’s my work machine so I’ll have to wait for the weekend / your test to try it…
@tc1 I have tested patch. For me 15th bit in register 0xE2 now is 0 (before patch it was 1). So give me feedback pls when you ready, cause I dont have Max OS for testing.
after several tries and some problems with the asus bios tools (and a finnicky usbstick probably) I managed to flash the bios & boot macos, all with the 0xE2 register unlocked, thus not needing any kernelpatches to circumvent a write and KernelPanic. Thank you so much, highly appreciated! Glad to see someone is taking care of this board, it’s not very common in the hackintosh space and has some weird quirks making it hard to differentiate between Board & OS problems. Also thanks to CPU microcode-update overclocking is back in macos best, tc
Actually for now you can do mod by yourself, cause now all steps automated in UBU, and this can be done in few clicks.) But my first mod, I was did manually. Just in case if someone wants to change something…
