Download EFI: Releases

IMPORTANT NOTES!!

• Before you use this efi, configure smbios on config.plist and make sure you have your bios settings.
• This EFI Tested on monterey 12.3.1, 12.4, 12.6.7 work perfectly.
• and for those of you who use an amd gpu, to stream netflix via safari use smbios without an igpu, like imacpro 1.1 or macpro 7.1
• for asus b85m-g motherboard users who want front panel headphones to work use alc id 11
• use of different motherboard, cpu or smbios may require re-mapping usb
• required amd gpu Polaris+ for gpu acceleration. because Intel HD 4600 is no longer supported for Mac OS Ventura or higher
