    This is the first unsupported version I've installed on my MacBook and I also did it on my 2012 iMac as well. Your video on Monterey taught me how to do it and it was very useful for when I did it on the iMac. Now since my 2017 Air recently went unsupported I did it for Ventura on both devices and they both feel like new again! Long live the old Macs!

    I did this upgrade because my browser was out of date but could not update it because the OS was too old and had an annoying "your clock is ahead" problem that prevented me from accessing certain web pages. This worked flawlessly on my Mac. Definitely recommend upgrading SSD and RAM prior to this, just like you suggested. And it fixed the clock problem, which I honestly did not expect 😊

    • @slythespacecat
      @slythespacecat Год назад +2

      @@Kmjcru hello there! I'm still running Ventura at latest version. I might recommend Monterrey tho
      Ventura runs fine, the new features i've tested all work, but when i push the laptop hard it can get pretty hot (maybe hotter than before, not sure)
      I also had to use the equivalent of task manager on 2 occasions, which i dont remember ever having to do on Catalina
      I've read people in the same situation as me rolling down to Monterrey, and they say it works smoother and snappier. I was going to do that, but downgrading is more complicated than upgrading (needs a drive wipe) and i didn't want to go through that process. So i decided to keep Ventura for now
      So in short: It still runs decent. Should be noted i usually have node (virtual server) running for web dev (even now, as i'm typing this comment, i'm just browsing YT but still have the server running). In addition to node, i have 16tabs opened on Brave (3 from YT). I will sometimes also open Photoshop and/or Illustrator while everything else is running. These are all heavy on their own, and adding them up it's understandable why i've had to use the task manager ahahaha
      So if you want an upgrade to run macOS as smooth and snappier as possible, get Monterrey (exact same process as this video, just need to select a different version on Open Patch macOS Installer). If you want the latest Ventura and don't plan on overloading like i do... I don't see why not. All in all, i am truly happy with Ventura, the only 2 times it crashed was because i was pushing it WAY too hard and i knew it...
      Hope this was helpful! Best!

    Great instruction. Thanks
    My aunt passed away couple of months ago and a week ago I found this same Macbook Pro at her storage. SEALED IN THE BOX.
    Of course it's the stock config w/ the slow ass spinning drive and 4GB(!!) of RAM. Put in a spare SSD taken out from my spare parts bin, and paid $25 for 16GB RAM. I was going to just run Catalina but found out all the apps even the basic stuff like the iWork suite is no longer available for the old OS. Hardware is still quite usable but the limit of the OS (that cuts off all access to apps) pretty much renders the whole machine useless, unless I have to try this Ventura installation hack.
    I am using the version 0.67 and there's some slight difference to the version of OpenCore you used in the video but it wasn't too much of a problem.
    The machines runs fine as long as you know its limitation. Final Cut runs surprisingly okay. Tried a two-layer quick cut at 4K. Does work but don't push it too much. Totally fine as a file transfer and footage review machine. For total of $25 spent I can't really complain.

It appears to run a bit hotter than when I was running Mojave and Catalina, with the fan running at about 2500rpm when photo editing instead of the base 2000. All the ports work fine, Firewire is great, thunderbolt 1 and displayport are great also.

    I have upgraded my early 2008 MBP (A1260) to Ventura and it works pretty well.
    One caveat I've noticed however, is that it doesn't see my old 1TB internal PATA drive.
    Neither showing in Finder or Disk Utility - it is plugged in where the DVD drive would've been originally.
    The internal SSD it's installed on shows correctly.
    Any options to get it to show via 3rd party software?

    Thanks for the video, Now OpenCore provided v0.6.8. I upgraded my Mac Pro 2012 to Ventura 13.5.1.

    Thanks a lot! I've followed your previous tutorial, for those having issue, maybe this is useful:
    I've tried installing Monterey and it kept showing damaged installer, so I tried venture, it was ok up to 70% install and then it showed error to prepare the update, I then read somewhere that it can be caused by the faulty ram, so I removed one of the plates, and then I had it again and I realized I just need to connect internet, but I didn't have an ethernet cord, and my hotspot was troublesome to connect, so It kept showing the error, but I just tried again and then it somehow installed. When it first loaded the mouse was freezing, but when I patched the video card it all became normal, and actually subjectively it feels faster than Catalina. Even Final Cut is very fast (at least with 1080 video)

    If like me, after installing sonoma into the internal drive, you end up with a white wallpaper and the OpenLegacy patcher not popping up or available as a file, the solution was to download and extract the OpenLegacy in another computer (not necessarily a Mac), put it in a pendrive, stick it in your mac, install the open legacy in the internal driver where the new os is, and install the post patches. After that everything was ok, it worked for me. At the beginning it seemed a little slow but apparently now it's running smoothly. I'm on a mid-2012 with 16 Gb Ram and the OS running on a 512 Gb SSD.
