Will it work for MSI GL62M 7RDX? #10
Comments
|
Can't see why not. I know there was someone else who was asking on my build who had one. |
|
Actually I referred to a reddit thread, (if you google then, you'll find it) and I was succesful after three sleepless nights but mousepad didn't work with in any way with any kext So actually just afraid to waste my time again but the smoothness just makes me greedy |
|
I tried the model |
Yeah it hangs suddenly,right? |

I do feel like something has gone screwy with the touchpad in more recent versions of macOS. My touchpad does work, but the buttons stopped working for right and left click. I had to change it so a click would be registered on tap instead. It hasn't been a huge issue for me since I mostly use my laptop as part of a desktop setup with external mouse and keyboard. I haven't been able to figure if it's a kext or maybe an OpenCore issue or not. |

My touchpad worked but not the two buttons. What fixed that for me was this kext from rehabman:
https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-voodoo-ps2-controller/downloads/ <https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-voodoo-ps2-controller/downloads/>
installed kext, restarted and buttons worked like it should, so have no problems now. Not updating this kext otherwise I might lose functionality again.

Can confirm this did work. Replaced the kext, used ProperTree to do an OC Snapshot, saved and rebooted and it's back to working correctly. Glad I mentioned something about it. |
|
Also need to ask if I can install MacOS after another OS (like Windows , Linux) And can they be booted off the same drive? As in partitioning |
|
@ForceGT I outlined my process here https://github.com/jbwharris/hackintosh-msi-GL72M-7RDX/blob/master/Clover/README.md It does make life a lot easier if you have 2 drives. It can be done with 1, but I've never done it myself. Usually the guidance is to avoid doing that. |
|
Finally sought some courage and time to do this thing
2nd Where Am I going wrong? |
|
I think the trick is to fully pull that Windows drive out when you do the install, then you can be sure you're booting OpenCore. In that previous link I shared there was instructions for adding a boot entry in Windows, as sometimes it loses where the OC EFI is. Then you're able to choose it in the BIOS. |
|
I have no OS on my disk or any other disk |
|
I ran into the issue of the drive not showing up in the OpenCore list. I'm not sure what I did to fix it, I think it was just one of those things that got solved by following the OpenCore guide thoroughly. |
|
Just sitting in front of my pc from the last 4 days or so, and I tried your config which boots up 110% but then comes back to the install thingy |
|
Maybe try the OpenCore Sanity Checker, see if there's anything glaring about your setup that you might have missed. |
|
|
I do have an update to 0.6.0, but there are some bugs with it, so I haven't wanted to really push it. Wanted to have a go at maybe doing a fresh install of Catalina or Big Sur. I think I upgraded to Catalina from Mojave instead of doing a fresh install, so I'm wondering if I've carried through some issues that might be solved starting over. |
|
Finally after so many days got it working |
|
@ForceGT @jbwharris
Do you have any ideas about the error? |
|
I think I have the same thing, it flashes to some white on black text, then flashes and does the verbose boot. I haven't troubleshot that yet. I also have stuff that pops up over the MSI logo. I really should work through those. |
|
Didi you find the solution ? |
The stuff over the MSI logo is usually when you haven't updated the OpenCore version to the latest one And you should not bother about the other ones @rlindsberg unless everything works fine |
Solution to what ? |
@jbwharris it would be really helpful if you could tell me if there's a way to optimise the CPU |
Ok! But I still think error messages could cause some stability issues in macOS, who knows! |
Can you use Intel Power Gadget to measure CPU power wattage and post a screenshot here? |
|
I installed this recently, but haven't had a chance to go through any of the performance tweaking. I found in seeing other people's builds they usually had lower power consumption, but I wasn't sure if this was an apples to apples comparison since my laptop is a 17". I'd be interested in seeing what others have for their read outs. Mine typically bounces between 3 and 9 watts.
Here's the state of my battery 2 years on. It's usually plugged in all the time in my office these days working from home. It was also a floor model in the store, so we may be looking at 2.5-3 years at this point.

I have a lot of Safari tabs open and many RAM hungry apps open, still CPU is very chill.
This screenshot is from before, when I had battery issue. I was on the first release of 10.14.6 and after reboot, the CPU runs chill and power consumption was good, like the screenshot above. But after a few hours the CPU frequencies started to jump up and down. We can see a lot of spikes in Power-PKG, and video playback is not as smooth as newly rebooted. But a simple reboot will make this problem go away. However, I haven't think about this problem for a year, because I use the laptop to study and I want to build a functional Hackintosh and just use it for productivity. Thus, I don't know when this problem went away, because now I can have the laptop powered on for days and everything runs just fine.

@rlindsberg so that's what it could look like then. I'll definitely investigate, since it was never something I was too bothered with before not knowing if that was good/bad performance for my machine. |

About this error:
I just found out that the problem was on macOS and OpenCore. Here is what I tested: macOS 10.15.3 + OpenCore 0.5.7 = No errors macOS 10.15.3 + OpenCore 0.6.1 = Errors |
|
Are you sticking at 10.15.3 because of the external monitor issue? I actually rolled back because I was always having to unplug the HDMI to get the external monitor to show up after Apple introduced a bug in 10.15.4. |
I have used Mojave until now and I want to update to 10.15.6. But now it seems like I have to stick to 10.15.3 due to the error message.. I patched the frame buffer and can use two external displays. I haven't encountered any issue with the HDMI bug (tested last week in 10.15.6 and 10.15.3). How can one reproduce it? |
|
My issue post-10.15.4 is this, from my OpenCore readme Apple seems to have messed something up with 10.15.4. When the machine boots, it will only show on my external monitor and not the laptop screen. I need it to sleep, then wake it up and the screen will show up on the laptop screen, but not the the external screen. Then to fix this I need to unplug and plug in the HDMI cable and everything will be fine. It's not just a Hackintosh thing, it happens with real Macs too. I've tried the couple troubleshooting options and haven't had any luck with a solution. https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/g4nikv/cant_wake_after_sleep_opencore_catalina/ |
Sounds like Apple is following Microsoft: creating more bugs than they resolve. |
|
I unfortunately blew out my 10.15.6 install when I reverted back, so I don't have a ready to test install right now. I think I tried that, but can't recall for sure. |
|
HDMI seems to work perfectly on 10.5.7 |
|
That's good to know. I've been hanging out at 10.15.3 for awhile now wondering if that'd been fixed. Haven't had a crack at Big Sur yet. I just tried OC 0.6.3 this week and it was giving me some grief. |
|
I just upgraded to 10.15.7 and it does indeed fix the HDMI wake problem. But it introduced the 1050 graphics to switching on again, which causes a screen flicker on my laptop. I forget what I needed to do to make it stay off. Guess I'll have to figure that out. |
|
@jbwharris Hey James how do you figure out whether the dGPU has turned on Also any luck with Big Sur |
|
Updated to Big Sur successfully everything works except AppStore updates stick around too often and everything is a little slower |
|
I have a Big Sur install, but haven't been able to get it to boot. I had this issue where it would take forever for the installer to go to next steps, but I think it is installed, I just can't get it to boot. I'll have to take a poke at your setup and see if there's something I missed. I did a fresh rebuild with OC 0.6.5 and found it to help with my HDMI wake issues in 10.15.7. After a decent spell of instability, I'm kinda content with keeping this and plugging away on the new Big Sur instance when I get a chance. |
|
I was able to get Big Sur running with 0.6.5 this weekend. It's working pretty well and I just pushed over a new repo update. Closing ticket. |
Really want to get it working on this model
