Can I enlarge DVMT to 64mb by using Hackintool? #118

Hello, everyone!

I know that for better scaling and hi dpi in mac os, DVMT should be 64mb. The one way, which I found, is modifying BIOS. I think this is too scary. (On my laptop) But can I enlarge DVMT from 32mb to 64mb without any BIOS modifications by Hackintool? (Sorry for my bad english. It isn't my native language.)

First and foremost, you shoud find the offset of the parameter you're willing to change if it's not present in your BIOS or if you cannot access Advanced tab by pressing Ctrl + F10 such as in HP laptops.

No, you need some tool for experts such as RU.efi, or setup_var which is easier for n00bs or even InsydeH2O for Insyde firmwares.

Lastly, it's almost 100% certain that on desktops is possible (most of them aviai), there are a lot of guides to do that such as:
