With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.6.1, many long awaited features are finally landing! These include support for a number of hardware and services in macOS Ventura:

• Non-Metal Graphics Acceleration
• Legacy Wireless Networking
• UHCI/OHCI USB 1.1 Controllers
• AMD Vega Graphics on pre-Haswell Macs
• Rapid Security Responses for Haswell+ Macs using Kernel Debug Kits

This release also expands the range of hardware users can run on Ventura!

As to be expected, many of these features are still in active development. This is a community driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use Monterey if you encounter issues that affect you. See individual sections for more information.

Add support for non-Metal Graphics Cards in macOS Ventura

For systems that shipped with non-Metal Graphics Cards, including the following GPUs:

• Notes:
  • Stage Manager is unsupported
  • AMFI needs to be disabled
  • Bluetooth Pairing is currently semi-functional, see here for work around: Tab+Space work-around

For overall non-Metal support, see associated issue:

• Add Legacy Non-Metal GPU Acceleration Patches for Big Sur - Ventura #108

Add support for legacy Wireless Cards in macOS Ventura

For systems that shipped with Broadcom BCM94328 and BCM94322, as well as Atheros Wireless cards. Applicable models include:

Add support for UHCI/OHCI USB 1.1 Controllers in macOS Ventura

For systems with internal low speed USB controllers (UHCI/OHCI), this adds support for low speed USB devices including Keyboards, Mice, Trackpads and Bluetooth controllers.

• Note: This implementation is not entirely complete, namely that macOS installer and post-OS updates will not function with USB 1.1. See associated issue for more info: Legacy UHCI/OHCI support in Ventura #1021

Add support for AMD Vega Graphics on pre-Haswell Macs in macOS Ventura

For Mac Pro and iMac users who manually upgraded their Graphics Card to an AMD Vega unit. Applicable models include:

AMD Radeon Vega 56
AMD Radeon Vega 64
AMD Radeon VII

For overall support, see associated issue:

• Legacy Metal Graphics Support and macOS Ventura #1008

And a huge thanks to @SpiGAndromeda for their donation of an AMD Radeon Vega 64. Without their generosity, we wouldn't be able to get these GPUs working!

Add support for Rapid Security Responses for Haswell+ Macs using Kernel Debug Kits

With this release, we've added support for Apple's newly introduced Rapid Security Response system for more machines, namely those reliant on Kernel Debug Kits with Haswell and newer CPUs. Applicable models include:

| iMac15,1        | Late 2014 - Mid 2015 27" 5k iMac    | 
| iMac17,1        | Late 2015 27" 5k iMac               |
| MacBookPro11,5  | Mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro (AMD dGPU) | 
| MacBookPro13,3  | Late 2016 15" MacBook Pro           |

This update means all Macs with Haswell or newer CPUs can easily install RSRs without issue when Apple deploys them. For pre-Haswell Macs, RSRs currently will not install. Users can ignore for the time being until OCLP can add support.
