Open it by double-clicking the file and launch Clover Configurator for a graphical environment or right-click the file, select 'Open with.', then select TextEdit to use the text editor to edit the file. Now you can either 'config ist' to distinguish it from the primary. I prefer to keep filenames without spaces, but you should be able to leave yours as-is without problems.

If you're using a standard Windows keyboard and haven't yet mapped the correct keys, use the Windows key between the Ctrl and Alt keys along with C to copy and V to paste. The steps to remap the keys explained earlier. Note: On an Apple keyboard the keys directly on the sides of the spacebar are Command keys, but on a Windows keyboard these are Alt keys. Basically as long as the entry starts with 'config' then it should be visible when you select other configurations. If you do something similar you can still give descriptive names such as 'config_ist', 'config_1.plist', 'ist' (previous example minus the underscore), and more. My solution was to rename the extra entries so that they started with 'config' before the '.plist' extension, and that fixed it. I had to hook up the flash drive to another machine to confirm those extra entries were still there, which they were. But I noticed that when I would boot my machine and get into Clover, I would go to Options, go to Configurations', and the only entry in the list would be the 'ist' file. I eagerly copied these to my EFI/CLOVER folder so that I would have an assortment to test out.

These quirks can break in the future and so we only recommend this option in the event of certain software breaking in other OSes.When getting pre-built configurations for my AMD system, each configuration was named by the processor or board type, such as 'ist' or 'ist'. However, there are quirks in OpenCore that allow for SMBIOS injection to be macOS limited by patching where macOS reads SMBIOS info from.

Avoids edge cases where info is injected several times, commonly seen with Clover.

This allows for proper multiboot support like with BootCamp (opens new window).

# Optional: Avoiding SMBIOS injection into other OSesīy default OpenCore will inject SMBIOS data into all OSes, the reason for this is 2 parts:

Note: Thinkpad laptops are known to be semi-bricked after an NVRAM reset in OpenCore, we recommend resetting NVRAM by updating the BIOS on these machines.

This will wipe everything and reboot the system when finished.

Misc -> Security -> AllowNvramReset -> TrueĪnd on your initial boot of OpenCore, select Reset NVRAM boot option.

To fix this, we'll need to clear then via OpenCore's ClearNvram feature. The other thing that Clover may have hidden from you is NVRAM variables, this is bad as OpenCore won't overwrite variables unless explicitly told via the Delete feature found under NVRAM -> Delete. # Cleaning the Clover Junk in your hardware

Note, macOS Catalina will need the mount -uw / command to mount the system drive as Read/Write.

Touch /Library/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions Now open up terminal and run the following: Note: OpenCore will fail to inject kexts already in your kernelcache so cleaning this out will also resolve those issues Thankfully with OpenCore, a much more robust and stable injection mechanism's been made that is far harder to break. Reasoning being that Clover's kext injection system was known to fail either with OS updates or just spontaneously.

# Removing kexts from macOS(S/L/E and L/E)Ī common tradition with Clover was to install kexts into macOS, specifically System/Library/Extensions and Library/Extensions. /Library/PreferencePanes/Clover.prefPane.Users of Clover's Preference Pane will also need to remove these: If folders are empty then delete them as well: /etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local./etc/rc.boot.d/70.disable_sleep_proxy_./etc/rc.boot.d/10.save_and_rotate_boot_log.local./Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.

You will need to have SIP disabled to clean it up. Why? Well it likely installed some trash that's a pain in the arse to get rid of. So to start, Clover would like to give a big F*** You if you're using emulated NVRAM.

So you see the new fancy OpenCore bootloader and just dying to try it out, well you've come to the right place! Many things in Clover have feature parity with OpenCore but many do not, here we'll be going over what you can bring over and what you cannot.
