Macos mojave bootable usb install#
By following the guide you will install the balance power one which is by far my recommended one) and they all allow a drop to 800MHz (minimum frequency for the CPU according to the BIOS just like on Windows to save power) when iddle rather than the 1.3GHz that macOS natively allows so anyone can pick their favorite (If you wish to change it, it's a CPUFriendDataProvider.kext which can be found in the Post-Installation folder and Optional Changes). I have created 4 energy profiles for the CPU (max power saving, balance power, performance and max performance. I created two SSDTs and a single kext (use only one) found in the Optional Changes folder which map all HS (High Speed) USB ports and the SS (Super Speed) USB ports, TB3 have not even been tested, therefore it isn't mapped either. Thunderbolt 3? (not sure I got no TB3 devices to test) Sound (Internal speakers, internal mic, external speakers, external mic) Keyboard with the special keys like volume control or brightness What you need:ĭell G7 7588 (if newer versions of the G7 keep the same hardware you may reuse most files and look to replace if needed the CPU and maybe iGPU files)Ī real Mac (or working Hackintosh) to download the Mojave installer from the App Store Hackintosh may not be that hard but you may need to read a lot to understand quite a few things and even come up with some solutions yourself for a perfectly working machine, lucky you, I have already done all that so follow the guide carefully and you will be able to experience the smoothness of macOS on this laptop. well not too much to say it isn't either the best one. Some people show their Geekbench 4 score and. No native macOS trackpad gestures, high CPU use all the time, no USB ports mapped, VoodooHDA leading to crappy sound and horrible input. I have seen people on youtube as on forums claming to have macOS on the Dell G7 and they actually do but here's a thing, I checked their files, a couple videos and I can say those are probably not the best installations.
Macos mojave bootable usb drivers#
I have not had any time to explain things as on this README but drivers and configuration files are updated, better use the ones in the Catalina repo.Īs always, first things first, I will start mentioning that Nvidia cards drivers were dropped since macOS High Sierra, which means that If you want them working you will have to go back, however Coffe Lake graphics are natively supported since macOS Mojave, that's good news so no need for much workaround with it. MacOS Mojave on Dell G7 7588 Edit: There is a Catalina repo already, all the files in it can be used with Mojave.
