ribben Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hello guys, Below i will explain the procedure i followed to install mountain lion on Acer Aspire 7720g First and foremost thanks for the Olarila.com for it's active community and willing people to help! Requirements: Pre-Install 1. Bios v1.45 (ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_7720/vista/Bios/v1.45.zip) 2. Mountain Lion 1.8.2 USB Install (http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1627) Post-Install 3. multishit (http://www.tonycrapx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=3) (Another site with great support for hackintosh community) 4. modified DSDT (DSDT.aml.zip) Patched with patch found from orallila.com and i personally fixed remaining Warnings... 5. Patched AppleHDA.kext (http://cl.ly/0A0J1Z2I4207) Patched from Mirone great guy and really helpful,thumbs up for him! 6. Kext Utility (http://www.osx86.net/view/2514-latest_kext_utility_10.8_edition.html) INSTALLATION As long as you follow this tutorial all should install just fine (http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1627) POST-INSTALLATION When you first boot your freshly installed Mountain Lion run multishit and install it with the options showned below Then paste the provided dsdt in "/Extra/" Install AppleHDA.kext with "Kext Utility" Reboot and you should now be ready to use and explore Mountain Lion OS X.... Things that work: 1. USB 2. Sound (External Mic is not working but i can live with that) 3. C-States & P-States (Generated by Chameleon) 4. Graphics (Generated by Chameleon) 5. Keyboard & Touchpad (Installed by multishit, ACPIPS2Nub.kext & ApplePS2Controller.kext) 6. FireWire (I am not sure if someone tests it please give feedback) Things that doesn't work: 1. WiFi (if i remember by default it comes with Intel 3945abg i have replaced with BCM4311. Work Natively for both Mac and Windows) 2. Ethernet (I don't really need it but i thinks there is a kext out there which works just fine) 3. Camera ( I don't think it will ever play) 4. Card reader (Same as the above) 5. Sleep (Same as the above) 4. Brightness keys ( Althought the Fn+Right,Left control the screen brightness the mac notification (Sun) doesn't comes up) Regarding SMBios.plist currently i am staying with MacPro3,1 cause it's the one with the better performance everything else i tried (MacBookPro3.1,MacBookPro4.1, MacBookPro5.1) it's a performance drop. Anyone with any Hints & Tips for this is more than welcomed... As a conclusion if everyone has a suggestion or a solution or a query please post so we can achieve better compatibility for this laptop!
