Quick Start:
- ✅ Recommended Version:
NootedBlue.kext macosx15.1 2024-11-14(latest, most stable) - 📁 Location:
NootedBlue/folder contains 4 versions for comparison - 📖 Full Guide: See NOOTEDBLUE_ANALYSIS.md for detailed comparison and OpenCore configuration
- ⚡ Quick Reference: See NOOTEDBLUE_QUICKSTART.md for fast setup
Key Points:
- Raptor Lake iGPU (0xA788) is spoofed as Ice Lake (0x8A5C)
- Version from Nov 14, 2024 provides best Sequoia compatibility
- NVIDIA RTX 4070 dGPU must be disabled (handled by SSDT-DGPU.aml)
- VMD Controller must be disabled in BIOS
The following SSDT patches are used:
- SSDT-USBX.aml - Generic USBX device for USB power properties
- SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml - Redefines modern CPU devices as legacy Processor objects and sets plugin-type to 1
- SSDT-RTCAWAC.aml - Fixes incompatible AWAC clock
- SSDT-SBUS-MCHC.aml - Defines MCHC and BUS0 device for SMBus compatibility
- SSDT-GPI0.aml - Enables GPIO controller for I2C touchpad
- SSDT-XOSI.aml - OS detection spoofing
- SSDT-DGPU_v4.aml - Properly disables discrete GPU (NVIDIA RTX 4070) using ACPI power management methods (_INI, _PS3, _OFF). Requires ACPI renames in config.plist - see docs/ACPI_RENAMES.md and docs/DGPU_DISABLE.md for details.
- SSDT-PS2K.aml - Forces PS2 keyboard device to be enabled (fixes built-in keyboard). Requires ACPI rename in config.plist - see docs/ACPI_RENAMES.md and docs/PS2_KEYBOARD_FIX.md for details.
IMPORTANT: SSDT-DGPU_v4 and SSDT-PS2K require ACPI binary patches in your config.plist to rename existing methods. Without these patches, you'll get AE_ALREADY_EXISTS errors and the SSDTs won't load. See docs/ACPI_RENAMES.md for complete instructions.
