github dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher 0.4.1

latest releases: 2.1.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.0...
2 years ago

With the release of 0.4.0/0.4.1, we're proud to show off our new GUI written in wxPython for far better interoperability between the UI and the core patcher. This means we're able to more easily keep features in sync, meaning users should receive the same hardware detection and other build features between the TUI and GUI! If you've been a long devoted TUI user, we highly recommend trying out the new GUI. However the TUI will still remain so users can still choose their preferred method.

Other noteworthy changes with this release:

  • Resolve Network Connection issues on root patched wifi cards
  • Add app updates checks when you open the GUI
  • Support spoofing native models
    • Perfect for native Macs that can't update their firmware due to dead internal SSDs
  • Configurability for Beta Blur for non-Metal GPUs!
    • Greatly resolves many UI issues on non-Metal, however note that slower Macs may want to disable as it can be more system intensive
    • Configure via the GUI with non-Metal Settings, or via terminal with defaults write -g ASB_BlurBeta -bool true and defaults write -g ASB_BlurOverride -float 30

And many more fixes and enhancements listed in the changelog below. We hope everyone enjoys the new release!
