After many months of heavy anticipation, OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.5.1 adds support for macOS Ventura 🎉
With this release, most users with a 2012 or newer Mac listed below should be able to install Apple's latest OS with ease!
This release is an extension to the initial 0.5.0 build, with additional improvements including support for the 2013 Trash Can Mac Pro and resolving SSD support on the Mid 2013-2014 MacBook Airs!
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.
