Experimental Patches for Clover booting from all versions of 10.13, 10.14 and 10.15

These patches are for testing only. AMD OS X still recommends you use OpenCore to boot your hackintosh.

No support will be given to a system having issues booting if the issue is related to a bootloader issue. Anything software/kext related will be supported.

These plist files include only the patches. You must make the complete config to boot.

17h patches tested on 10.15.5 using Clover r5118

Enjoy.

Thx for your work.

Do you know if the 3900x processor is supported now? Last time I tried it, it told me that it did expect 48 threads, but found only 24...

With OpenCore yes. Untested with Clover.

Hi Shaneee, this works on my build (fx8350, AMD Radeon RX580), but bad performance.
Seems as if my graphical card is not supported at full speed and sound hickups (Voodoo).
So, not ideal compared to OC bootloader, but need to do more checks to solve these issues.

Thanks for hard work. System is booted, but whole system is slow after booting.

Got it to boot, but as soon as I click on anything the system locks up and have to reboot. Never used clover on AMD so learning as I go!

For those 15h_16h AMD CPU users may test my modified clover-config.plist which worked at 10.15.1 to 10.15.6 beta2 except 10.15.4.

Working great. Thanks
I couldn't figure out a fix to restart in opencore, but clover reboot works. Everything else same in both bootloaders.
For those who have issues with slow system, this is what I did for my system with 3.6Mhz.
In opencore: Platforminfo - Datahub - ART Freq 3600000000 InitialTSC 3600000000 FSBFreq 100000000 boot args busratio=18 (I edited bios to 18x)
In clover: cpu - Freq 3600 Bus speed 100000 boot args busratio=18 (add nullcpupowermanagement.kext)

I tried everything in opencore and clover nothings change system and or clock is slow. I think the problem is that my processor is old and patches do not fit.

Hi, did you apply Shaneee's or jsl2020's Clover patches for 15h_16h config.plist ? Is it stable and working at 10.15.4 ?

Shaneee’s patches posted in this thread only worked. I updated to 10.15.5 and it worked without a glitch.
I updated to 10.15.6 beta 2. Analog sound worked for a minute and stops working - no sound. Hdmi sound is working fine. Something with latest beta and voodoohda.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I still got KP with Shaneee's patches. Can you share your Clover's config.plist without SN for me ? I hope I can compare it with mine to fix this.

You have no idea why my system may be slow. I tried this settings In clover: cpu - Freq 3600 Bus speed 100000 boot args busratio=18 (add nullcpupowermanagement.kext)
I tried different frequency's but all the same.

Well, he has a different CPU. I have fx8300 and it works for me.
Also, I previously disabled the energy-saving options in the BIOS.

Can you share your config.plist to boot Clover for reference and comparison ?

Can you try BusSpeedkHz = 100000 FrequencyMHz = 3400 busratio=17 (or 34) to test it again ?
Or attached your config.plist for check if there's any improper setting.

Thanks for your prompt reply and help.
Modified my config.plist based upon the difference of ACPI between mine and yours I can boot from 10.15.1 to 10.15.6 beta2 without KP now.
