MSI-GL62M 7RD Hackintosh

Hackintosh clover configuration for MSI GL62M 7RD.

With a few modifications, can work for all GL62M 7RD version theoretically. Tested platform: GL62M 7RD-223cn.

Most of functions are working, include built-in camera, audio, Touchkpad, sleep and HDMI.

Notice

This Clover branch is no longer maintained!

Migrate to OpenCore now:

• OpenCore has a cleaner codebase and clear debug logging
• OpenCore has a large amount of documentation
• On average, will start up faster
• Supports Bless and Bootcamp switching
• Has further developments to AptioMemoryFix directly within OpenCore and FwRuntimeServices
• Uses a kext injection method which is more future proof, which does not break System Integrity Protection (SIP)
