The new boot menu is really beautiful, but there is no icon showing for my macOS Catalina system drive (which must have been os_mac.icns in the previous versions). Windows 10 shows the os_win.icns icon (which has always been that way) – I wonder why it’s not showing the os_win10 icon instead (and of course why os_cata.icns is not shown for the Catalina drive).

EDIT: SOLVED by using custom entries named "macOS Catalina" and "Windows 10". Now the correct icons appear. :-)

I know it sounds really strange and doesn't make much sense but i tested this many times and it checks out. When NOT having verbose (-v) as a boot-arg, when booting (at the first Apple Logo) my keyboard does NOT light up and i need to unplug and replug it.

However, when enabling verbose in boot-args i can see in the logs that ACPI is properly supplying power to my USBs and the keyboard lights up as it should.

It is a race condition of some sort. Any ideas on how this could be fixed?

** i have been using your fork . Also i can provide my config.plist upon request and any other needed info.

Specs:

• Ryzen 7 2700
• MSI B450 Mortar Max
• RX 460

I changed the png file to icns using icnspack.
But on the boot screen
The icon is not displayed normally.
I want to know exactly how to use inspack.
Or is there an easier way to convert the image?

There are font issues in the menu (see pictures). In my case the issues occur in the names of my custom entries for macOS and Windows.
On my 4K monitor the font and the icons all look very pixelated, but this is not a new issue. It would be nice to have font and icons which look clear on a 4K display anyway.

I found i can't boot into RecoveryHD, maybe your mod discriminate it as an other OS not a part of macos ,but the version 3 days ago can

Nice Work n-d-k.
To me it turns out now, that Windows is always the default boot device, even with selected macOS in System Preferences->Startup Disk. I have set Windows in Misc->Entries->Hidden to YES, but the Windows Icon appears anyway. With the previous version (without Icons) it worked like expected. I just got the two macOS disks and the whole rest (Windows, Recoverys, Shell and Reset Nvram) appeared only after pressing the space key. Do you have any Suggestions?

I need the latest version of OpenCore to boot correctly my Hackintosh! So can you update your fork to OpenCore 0.6.0, because with the original OpenCore Windows doesn't want to boot!
Thanks!

Auto scanner seems to stop once it finds the first EFI when scanning the EFI Partition.

My disk structure is as follows:

EFI (main NVMe)
--OC
--Windows

EFI (TM Backup)
(Nothing)

NDK OC does not detect the Windows boot loader in this scenario.

How's it going bro and when will you continue to update?

Hi there, I can't seem to build the latest release of open core. I am familiar with the process and have always succeeded in the past, but now the build fails every time.

What I've tried:
Xtools 1.4 beta (with command line tool)
Xtools 1.5 (with command line tool)

I'm running Catalina 10.15.2,
also tried on Catalina 10.15.4
NDK fail.txt

In the OcSimpleBootMenuInternal.h file, add a new UI_ICON name to the UI_ICON section
If you build, it will automatically change to version 0.5.9.
In version 0.5.9
The added icon definition does not work properly.
Are there any further modifications?
Or in version 0.5.8
Is there a way to build it?

Hello n-d-k.
Really good work. Thank you very much for that.

We open Discussion to this Fork here.
https://www.hackintosh-forum.de/forum/thread/46387-opencore-sammelthread-n-d-k-fork/?postID=566678#post566678

If you like, you can write this on the first page from your repo.

in opencore 0.5.6-0.5.8 Dev version
When booting KaliLinux with open core,
A ramdisk error occurs and a freeze occurs.
And when I mount the Kalin Linux efi partition on my Mac, I get an error that the Kalin Linux EFI boot partition is saved in the BIOS.
Opencore 0.5.5 was able to boot normally, but after updating
This happens.
Is there any other way to boot KaliLinux normally from open core?

Hi n-d-k
Why AllowNvramReset not shown into OC boot menu?

This version of the OC bootloader has been modified very well, but there is a problem with the ResetNVRAM option not showing up in the startup menu, how to fix it

Hi
Thanks for your great job

I can't download n-d-k stable 0.5.4.

Please help me

these added feature is wonderful, but seems if I want to use it, the only way is compile this by myself,

so is there any possible to sync version to original repo, and also provide a compiled package?

thank you.

When add system boot parameters to a custom entry, how to get the full PCI path address of the BOOT partition?

With recent release of NDK OpenShell.efi not show on boot menu. All other icons and tool items work. Same plist works on standard fork.

There are several questions I would like to ask:

1. I tried to use OC to boot my laptop. It was HP-840G3. It turned out to be 10.14.6 with CLOVER boot. Everything is normal. However, using OC boot, I found only another Windows partition in the boot menu instead of showing the existing one NVME MAC system partition. This is the reason for scanning. The scanning policy value in the configuration file is already 0.
2. I guided your version on my laptop, and unexpectedly found that the startup interface has a LOGO character and a version number on the lower right corner, but it cannot be displayed on my desktop computer
   THANK YOU!

Does The original OC AllowsetDefault option conflict with your Auto boot to last booted macOs or Windows feature?

• If i select macOS boot drive in Startup Disk preference panel, macOS won't boot with error "OCB: LoadImage failed - Not Found. Halting on critical error."
• If i select Windows boot drive in Startup Disk preference panel i get message "You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk. The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk.".

On the original OpenCore fork this works without problem.

btw, good work with your customization :-)

Would it be possible to merge downstream updates from mbarbierato/OpenCorePkg and then update the code to implement commits from upstream version 0.6.4 (last release tag from mbarbierato repo) onwards?

Really don't have enough coding skills myself to try that, and mbarbierato GitHub repo lacks an "issues" page, so I couldn't even try to ask them.

Thanks in advance.

After adding entries to config.plist for windows and Linux, booting to Windows 10 is OK event on Same SSD (my Dell e7270 laptop only have 1 SSD slot)after renaming bootx64.efi to bootx64-OC.efi.
Never success boot to Linux, pickers is show but after pick and grub show, is black screen.
Any clues for boot to Linux?

On my desktop computer, the motherboard is Asus B150-plus, why use OC boot, in the entry BIOS interface is black screen, but confirmed that has entered the BIOS settings interface, can not see any screen, however, if ResetNvram can be normal access to the display BIOS interface

my computer has a 1T ssd, so I installed the mac and windows both on this ssd, and I really don't know how to create two esp on one ssd and make each os use only one of these esps. So I only have one esp on ssd.

So opencore can not detect windows on same esp, I have to use custom entries to add a windows boot option.

then here comes the problem, I have enabled the Hyper-V on windows 10, then no matter EnableForAll is true or false, windows 10 will always boot into BSOD, if I use F12 to boot windows at bios, then everything is fine.

so either EnableForAll doesn't work for entries or opencore has something conflict with Hyper-V feature.

and another thing, seems you forgot to tag the 0.5.5 version.

I have OpenCanopy.efi in the Drivers folder and declared in the config.plist, but when I set Picker to External, I am not greeted with OpenCanopy. How can this be remedied?

Ender.

The allow resetnvram option is already enabled in config.plist, and the same config file can be displayed using the original OC, but not with your modified version, and the option to use the keyboard up and down in the startup menu can only be cycled through the first three options, and can not choose after the fourth item, why?

When i use some Tool from Boot Picker (e.g. Shell) so after i quit this tool it won't go back to Boot Picker but i get this error "OC: Tool Tools<null string> cannot be found! Halting on critical error".

No problem on the original OpenCore.

Hi there,

i'm running your fork 0.5.6 with three custom entries.

1. macOS
2. Win10
3. Carboncopy-Clone

Yesterday I want to update my macOS installation to 10.15.3.
Sadly - the well known "install macOS" partition wasn't shown up in the boot picker after the initial reboot. So no way to update macOS. :(

After some testing I found out that this seems to be a problem of the custom entries.
As soon as I deactivate the custom entry of my macOS, the "install macOS"-partition was listed in the boot picker and I was able to make the update.

But - hopefully - that workaround isn't the planned solution and you'll provide a fix for this.

If enter windows with a boot menu or keyboard shortcut, the next boot will automatically reset the windows boot manage option to the first entry in the bios, something the previous version didn't seem to have?

I am trying to port a Clover theme to this forked version of OpenCore. But if I uses icns from other Clover themes (which is transparent) will end up in this:

I have noticed the icns files given in the repo all have background. Does that mean the transparent icns and images are not supported yet?

After your version update, pressing W to start windows doesn't seem to work?
