Does anyone know how to fix loading stuck at HID: Legacy Shim 2?? Been stuck with this from yesterday. I’ve tried every method to fix this issue that posted on google and reddit but still no luck.

I’m a programmer and I wanted to try macOS a bit. Installed it on a external drive with your guide. Very clear tutorial. Searched all over the internet and couldn’t find another guide that mentions everything. Though I’ll probably go back to arch linux, mac is not my thing but thank you for at least teaching me how to try it
Why isn’t this valid for laptops? I have a Dell tablet like Microsoft Surface. Wonder if Thunderbolt would work better on it, as a hackintosh.

Hey I have a problem. I do everything perfect on my computer and I have sucessfull results but on the other pc and laptop Opencore can’t see mac os recovery partition. I have no idea how to fix this.
What if installation will give an error? Can i go back to windows?
Everything worked up until the part where you choose the “install macOS” option after the reboot. I can only choose from the 3 options I always had so I can only go back to the recovery system. It can’t go past that part. Any ideas?
The only validation I need going into this tutorial is that the guy is Asian. Heck yes I’m watching this video!

To disable it, mountEFI and open propertree and open config.plist of your SSD; and find boot-args in NVRAM. if you found, remove -v in Boot-args.
