Administrators MaLd0n Posted February 25, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2023 Lilu Kernel extension for installing Rosetta Cryptex in macOS Ventura. Applicable for both OS installation and updates. Link HERE With macOS Ventura, Apple finally dropped the last Mac that lacked the AVX2.0 CPU instruction, the 2013 Trash Can Mac Pro (MacPro6,1). With this, systems lacking AVX2.0 can no longer boot Ventura natively as Apple has stripped the legacy non-AVX2.0 dyld shared caches from the OS. However due to compatibility issues with Rosetta 2, Apple is forced to retain a pre-AVX2.0 dyld shared cache on Apple Silicon systems. Thus to support older machines, this kext will force the macOS installer/updater to install the Apple Silicon Cryptex (OS.dmg) instead of the stock Intel variant. More information can be found under macOS Ventura and OpenCore Legacy Patcher Support: Issue 998. Additionally this kext will disable Cryptex hash verification in APFS.kext. Additional notes: Delta Updates will not be supported with patched Cryptexes, Full Updates will be requested instead. Delta: 1-3GB~ Full Update: 12GB Rapid Secuirty Response Updates are currently not supported at this time. macOS only distributes x86_64h-based deltas on x86 machines, which are incompatible with the Rosetta Cryptex. If CryptexFixup determines your system already supports AVX2.0, it will not do anything (unless explicitly requested).Systems supporting AVX2.0 natively: Intel Haswell and newer AMD Excavator/Ryzen and newer Systems lacking AVX2.0: Intel Ivy Bridge and older AMD Bulldozer/Piledriver/Steamroller and older This kext does not drop the requirement for AVX2.0 in some of Ventura's Graphics Stack AMD Polaris, Vega and Navi Drivers in Ventura will not function without AVX2.0 support, end users will need to find alternative ways to achieve graphics acceleration Apple's Paravirtualized Graphics Stack still supports pre-AVX2.0 systems ex. VMware Fusion on Monterey host lacking AVX2.0, guest VM running Ventura Boot arguments -cryptoff (or -liluoff) to disable -cryptdbg (or -liludbgall) to enable verbose logging (in DEBUG builds) -cryptbeta (or -lilubetaall) to enable on macOS newer than 13 -crypt_allow_hash_validation to disable APFS.kext patching -crypt_force_avx to force install the Rosetta Cryptex on AVX2.0 systems Credits Apple for macOS vit9696 for Lilu.kext DhinakG for research and development khronokernel for research and development Quote -Donations- PayPal HERE - Stripe HERE - Ko-Fi HERE - BuyMeaCoffee HERE - Mercado Livre HERE Skrill danielnmaldonado@gmail.com - BTC 33HeGCuCSh4tUBqdYkQqKpSDa1E7WeAJQ3 - BNB 0x10D1d656eCa00bD521f9b4A43B83098B8142e115 - USDT BSC BEP20 0xb57cfdfa371fad1981910f0e8332409ab99f74d9 - USDT TRC20 TUR6Z9AVS4AYzqPnULoHrfFvppRbhXmNbZ - KASPA kaspa:qpxzufgfj8p6r0krg58yzvs0009h2mwqgvcawa0xc2pth7sgzpv56j4f6dtvk - PicPay @danielnmaldonado - PiX @danielnmaldonado@gmail.com Premium Users HERE - Problems with Paypal HERE Sign up for a Bybit account and claim exclusive rewards HERE New ways to earn money with Linkvertise HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
