IMPORTANT HIDDEN BIOS SETTINGS

In OC menu you can notice two options to launch setup_var.efi that allows to set hidden BIOS options. Such as CFG-Lock and DVMT Pre-Allocated. Here is extracted section for BIOS 1.25.0 (identical with 1.18.0).

⚠️ Attention: Anyway you must know the correct address for options that you want to change. Address of the option can change within different versions of BIOS for the same hardware otherwise you can corrupt your BIOS. ⚠️

RAW values

# CFG Lock = Disable
setup_var 0x5BE 0x0

# DVMT Pre-Allocated = 64MB
setup_var 0x8DC 0x2

What's behind the scenes

You must download all not bundled kexts and drivers from repositories by yourself. HfsPlus.efi driver and resources for Chime sound & OC GUI at boot.

Kexts

Legacy_USB3 - Plist-only kext for USB port mapping
IntelMausi.kext - Another intel driver for Ethernet
AppleALC.kext - Getting audio to work as easy-peasy
Lilu.kext - Dependency of VirtualSMC.kext and WhateverGreen.kext
VirtualSMC.kext - A advanced replacement of FakeSMC, almost like native mac SMC.
WhateverGreen.kext - Need for GPU support

EFI drivers

~~VirtualSMC.efi~~ - only needed if you use File Vault 2 or authrestart.
