- Copy
_/scripts/platformInfo.distfile to_scripts/platformInfoand fullfill platformInfo parameters inside this file - Then:
- To APPLY parameters to config.plist use command:
sh _/scripts/run.sh --apply - To REVERT parameters from config.plist use command:
sh _/scripts/run.sh --revert
- To APPLY parameters to config.plist use command:
- You can also use OpenCore Configurator to generate & fill automatically OR use GenSMBIOS to generate only
- Remember to use correct SMBIOS Type when generating
- Scripts are included for faster cleaning unnecessary parameters on my end
