A Python-based project revolving around Acidanthera's OpenCorePkg and Lilu for both running and unlocking features in macOS on supported and unsupported Macs. Our project's main goal is to breathe new life into Macs no longer supported by Apple, allowing for the installation and usage of macOS Big Sur and newer on machines as old as 2007.

...The software supports XML and binary property lists through an organized interface for editing nested dictionaries, arrays, keys, and values. Users can rearrange entries through drag-and-drop operations, search and replace content, and reverse changes with a comprehensive undo history. Its OpenCore Snapshot functionality automatically synchronizes configuration entries with installed ACPI tables, kernel extensions, drivers, and tools. It also checks kernel extension dependencies and identifies duplicate identifiers. Additional utilities provide data conversion, hexadecimal integer handling, and context-sensitive OpenCore and Clover configuration assistance.

OSX-KVM is a collection of scripts, firmware files, and documentation for running macOS virtual machines on Linux with QEMU and KVM. It uses OpenCore and OVMF components to create a Virtual Hackintosh without requiring a Mac host. The project can fetch installers for multiple macOS generations, prepare installation media, and guide users through the complete virtual machine setup. It supports Intel VT-x and AMD SVM hosts, although newer macOS releases impose additional CPU instruction requirements. ...

OpenCore Modernity Patcher builds OpenCore EFIs for Intel and AMD PCs and KVM virtual machines from Windows or Linux, with an OpenCore Legacy Patcher-style GUI. It picks a Tahoe-capable SMBIOS automatically, checks your hardware and inspects macOS installs. Supports macOS up to Tahoe.

...On Windows and Linux, users can extract the system's Differentiated System Description Table for analysis. SSDTTime reduces the complexity of manually developing ACPI modifications and helps streamline OpenCore bootloader preparation.

...It uses Acidanthera's macserial tool to create randomized identifiers associated with supported Mac models. The software helps users configure SMBIOS properties required by bootloaders such as OpenCore and Clover. It generates Mac serial numbers, motherboard serial numbers, and other identification values used in system configuration. Users can specify a Mac model identifier and generate multiple sets of compatible SMBIOS data. The utility can also write generated information into property list configuration files, reducing repetitive manual editing. ...
