This release currently only supports macOS Big Sur through Ventura. macOS Sonoma support is still in development and will release later this year.
With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.6.8, many more bug fixes and improvements are here!
- Integration of AMFIPass for root-patched machines
- Allowing Library Validation and AMFI to be fully enabled, for greatly enhanced security
- Resolve macOS 13.5 support on 2011 Macs with Intel HD3000 graphics
- Additionally resolves Display Profile support for these units!
- Allow Aquantia 10Gbe Network Card support on pre-Ivy bridge Macs in Monterey and newer
And many more features are listed in the changelog below!
For AMFIPass installation, users who are either using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.6.6 and newer or freshly installing can upgrade without issue!
Users who are upgrading from an older version of OpenCore Legacy Patcher will not have AMFI enabled by default until you re-root patch your system. This is due to root patches in 0.6.6+ having a Dortania signature allowing for binary validation. Once updated, OpenCore Legacy Patcher will notify you to rebuild OpenCore with AMFI enabled.
As to be expected, many of these features are 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.
