    Oh boy.

    Unless there is an open source license placed in the source folder by the original author, then it is closed source.

    Even if you have the source all you do is illegal (until you are the originbal author)


    So you asking people to do a crime.

    (When you want people to work on maybe stolen source code)

    THIS IS A CRIME IN GERMANY


    And this is definitely against so forum rules. (5.3)


    THAT IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE with your behavior.


    Ok with #66 i violated (5.1.1) -> but it was the shortes possibility to answer.

    1. Have you ever compared how small a bios was at that time compared to today?

    Does OZM boot from an actual Bios ?

    [hehee]

    No


    So an 200MB EFI partition is still bigger than every BIOS.

    2. There is software that makes the whole thing much easier. A few console commands can be expected of the user.

    There are also config tools for opencore.

    3. It's easier if you want to change something. Open the usual boot menu and select the macOS drive directly. In addition, if the Hackintosh is always in sleep mode, this increases the power consumption.


    What is easier. You can directly change settings by thinking?

    On open core i open a boot menu which exactly looks and work like the one on a real mac.

    It also plays the mac startup chime.

    Does this works on OZM?

    Ok i don't care -> as written normally i only reboot at a maximum of 10.


    Macos does a hybrid sleep so it uses the same power as it would be turned off.

    4. Do you also have an additional bootloader USB stick on a real Mac?

    Will your new hard drive come with perfectly configured OpenCore?


    Actually until i buy a M4 mac mini all of my real 4 mac run open core.

    OZM doesn't work there

    Will your OZM come perfectly configured.

    You have to setup several NVRAM variables by hand to setup your serials. congrats.

    5. I don't understand your point. This is related to Ozmosis (=OZM).


    You use no quotes so i can't see/know what is is related on.

    6. If you think that you are doing a normal NVRAM reset with the battery method, you are wrong. The bios will be reset and all settings will have to be redone!



    Oh boy/girl


    7. So you can use the hotkeys directly at the BIOS boot with OpenCore?


    Yes.

    Quote

    It can be integrated into the BIOS.

    Sometimes. With more recent macos versions you need more kext and space.

    The space of the most bios chips is to small.

    Even when OZM was the hot new shit often you had to put the ethernet drivers in S/L/E or in your efi.

    So no benefit over open core.

    It's easier to use.

    When all the work is done for you as written so many times.

    When you have to learn how to extract OZM from other firmwares and build your own bios (and also brick your BIOS chip)

    Then following an easy step by step guide which doesn't roast your hardware ist much easier.

    Or is desoldering a bios chip from your motherboard and reprogram and then solder it back to the board "easier"?


    Quote

    It can boot macos directly from the BIOS.

    Woho you gain ~6s a year.

    I normally reboot my mac only for macos updates so 5-10 times a year.

    Otherwise the mac sleeps.

    Changing and reinstalling the hard drive is easier.


    ???

    Opencore on usbstick?

    Ever heared of usb thumb drives?

    Or just use the EFI of the hard drive.


    Also opencore can easily handle linux, windows, macos. bsd on one drive which doesn't wok with ozm in 80% of the time due to the included patched DSDT.

    Quote

    You can directly make settings for the boot options in the BIOS.

    Can also be done in OZM



    Quote

    NVRAM reset can be done immediately after switching on.

    ok again you loose 1-3 Seconds of time in opencore.

    How often you you need to reset.


    [sarcasm on]

    You also can reset the NVRAM without turning on the pc by removing the battery and power plug

    [sarcasm off]

    Hotkeys most similar to mac.

    most is not true.

    because ozm uses the SAME hotkeys as apple.

    opencore uses the SAME hotkeys as apple.

    Also opencore is easier to use than OZM.

    You follow the dortania guide step by step and Bähm in 90% of the time a running system.


    That OZM is easier than OC is only true if griven, al6042, kuckkuck, derHackfan, Fredde2209, crusher and all of the users i have not mentioned have allready done the work for you.


    For reasons i had to mod the bios for my Z77 board by myself and it was a lot of reading and more work compared to OC.

    Also the risk of flashing the Bios and possibly brick the board.


    OC is saver, easier and it just works ...


    OZM is a dead horse. No need to ride it.

    Nightflyer Bei mir wars heute ähnlich ...

    Normal kommt die Post immer um 13:30. Heute wurde es 2 Stunden später. Da habe ich mich auch schon irgendwohin fahren sehen ...

    Der größte Witz ist das es schon am Freitag eingeliefert wurde und dann noch mal einen ganzen Tag rumlag.


    Aber es gibt auch Gutes -> der i7 4790 geht noch :top:

    Beim Arbeitsspeicher keine Ahnung -> Nutze 32GB aus dem GA-Z77 DS3H

    Das 2. GA-Z87-DS3H ist nun da.


    Mit "etwas" "Glück" muss ich dann "nur" noch eine USB Map erstellen... ;)


    Edit:

    Also das neue Board läuft auch nicht.

    Wobei ich nun eine Vermutung habe.

    Ich habe einen 4460er und einen 4790K -> Beide Haswell Refresh -> laufen ab F2 Bios.

    Evtl ist V1 geflashed -> dann würden beide nicht gehen.

    Evtl geht das alte Board auch noch und es wurde nur das Backup Bios getrickert ...


    edit2:

    Ja Mann.

    Beim anderen Board wurde das Backup Bios auch zurückgeschrieben.

    Also gehen jetzt beide GA-Z87-DS3H boards

    :top:


    Ich das GA-Z87-DS3H mit i7 4790k gegrillt habe

    (aus versehen PCIE stecker in die CPU Power Buchse)


    Nun noch ein GA-Z87-DS3H gekauft.

    Hoffentlich geht die CPU noch. Ansonsten wirds halt der i5 der hier noch rumliegt.

    Beim MSI B85M ECO gebe ich auf...
