Help with GPU Disabling

I've tried a few methods to disable the GPU, but since I haven't had any success with my installation attempts, I have no idea if what I did was correct. So, I'm leaving it here for review.

First, the **location path** data from Windows Device Manager:
`AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT`
`PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0100)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0000)`
`ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PC00)#ACPI(PEG1)#ACPI(PEGP)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0000)`

**Method 1:**
ProperTree > config.plist > Root > DeviceProperties > Add >

PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) | Dictionary | 1 key/value pair
> disable-gpu | Boolean | True

**Method 2:**
SSDT-GPU-DISABLE.aml

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "DRTNIA", "spoof", 0x00000000)
{
External (_SB_.PC00.PEG1.PEGP, DeviceObj)

Method (_SB.PC00.PEG1.PEGP._DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
{
If ((!Arg2 || (_OSI ("Darwin") == Zero)))
{
Return (Buffer (One)
{
0x03 // .
})
}

Return (Package (0x0A)
{
"name",
Buffer (0x09)
{
"#display"
},

"IOName",
"#display",
"class-code",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF // ....
},

"vendor-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00 // ....
},

"device-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00 // ....
}
})
}
}

**Additional notes:**
1. Both methods are given in the [Dortania guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/extras/spoof.html#windows-gpu-selection). However, there is a second version of the instructions for the [Method 2](https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/Desktops/desktop-disable.md) that mentions changing parts of the path, but it neither provides any explanation why nor does it provide enough examples of changes to deconstruct the logic behind the changes.

2. The second link uses this line:

If ((!Arg2 || (_OSI ("Darwin") == Zero)))

As well as includes this code at the end:

"vendor-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00
},

"device-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00

Whereas the first link does not include "== Zero" or the "vendor-id" and "device-id" parts.

So, for anyone knowledgeable, please let me know if what I've done is correct.

Hackintosh with macOS Tahoe – System Keeps Forgetting Password?

Hey everyone,
I recently built a Hackintosh and installed macOS Tahoe (26.0). The installation went smoothly, but I’m running into a strange issue: every time I reboot, the system seems to forget the password I set during setup. I’m 100% sure I’m typing it correctly, but it just won’t accept it after a restart.

Has anyone else experienced this with Tahoe? Could it be related to FileVault 2 or OpenCore settings? I’ve already tried resetting the password via recovery, but the issue keeps coming back.

Any ideas or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Finally got it working after years — few questions about older macOS versions

Hey everyone,

I tried getting Tahoe to work about 7–10 years ago back in the Clover days, but it was such a pain that I eventually gave up. My brother actually managed to get it running on his laptop back then, but I never had much luck.

This time around I decided to give it another shot and it worked with the first try Using OpenCore and following the Dortania guide made the process was east. Everything seems to be working fine now apart from:

**Specs:**

* Core i3-9100F
* 16 GB RAM
* RX 580 8 GB
* 1 TB SSD
* Asus ROG B360-I

No kernel panics, no crashes — it just works. The only thing that’s not working is **AirDrop**, which I’m guessing is because of my Intel Wi-Fi card. Bluetooth works fine though (I can connect my keyboard without issues).

So my question is:
Since I don’t really want to buy an external adapter, would it make sense to install an **older version of macOS** instead? If so, which version would be best for my setup?

I mainly use macOS for browsing and work-related stuff, and I’ve got Windows on dual boot for everything else.

This is my first time posting here, so let me know if I missed any details.

iOS Idea

Is it possible to install iOS on ANY phone?

Sounds crazy and naive I know, but with how easy it is to Hackintosh things thanks to OpenCore, I was just wondering if it’s possible to do essentially the same thing but for mobiles.

Found a thread in this sub but it was from 7 years ago so I’ve wondered if times have changed?
