Hello and Greetings,. This is made possible because of all the help here and elsewhere. I will attempt to guide those who have the same or similar Asus Laptop K53E BBR5 respectively.
Jul 16, 2018 - Downloads of the PCSX2 emulator port for Mac. **Updated 14th October 2017** ***macOS High Sierra has been released, and of. RUNNING: Sierra 10.12.6 if you are not on Sierra, I can't guarantee that this will work for.
However, your DSDT file will need to be changed many times, at least it was for me. This install is based on Single Boot OS, no multi-boot and to create a bootable USB Installer a Hacky is necessary. First it is important to follow all the directions or you will chop on install.
(Chop means get pissed because forgot simple stuff.) Don't worry you have to make mistakes in order to go forward. Studying little by little because there's a lot to take in. Just don't blow up the HDD or other stuff. My System: Asus Laptop K53E BBR5 CPU Intel i3 2310-M for mobile running at 2100Ghz Dual Core 4 Logical CPU's.
Intel HD3000 Graphics - no Nvidia or Radeon xtra graphics. Intel 6 Series Chipset 6/200 Samsung SSD drive 250Gb. Had to purchase separately. Original Hitachi 320Gb HDD too slow.
Atheros GigLanEthernet Atheros AR9820 Wifi - had to purchase separately Original Intel N-1030 doesn't work with Apple stuff. Elan Touchpad- turned off. Gets in the way of typing even with palm detection on max! Piece of junk. USB Mouse PS2 Keyboard builtin factory set USB 2.0 ports only no USB 3.0 Intel HDMI port Realtek ALC 269 Audio Battery What works just about everything, except for 'Wake'. Sleep works, shutdown works, reboot, all the peripherals.
Need a USB 16 Gb Flash Drive. USB 3.0 has better speed memory access is faster on good models. Download from this site: a: Two choices I offer, using a third party free software Flash Drive Maker 1.1 1 - make a bookmark How to create an macOS Sierra USB install drive using what`s on the mac. This video shows how to install the Preview of macOS Sierra. It works for all macOS Sierra versions.
Just replace the words Preview in your mind with the Post releases. 2 make a bookmark Disk Utility v 13 for Mac OS Sierra b. make a bookmark QuickESP c. Kext Wizard d. Download elsewhere or ask Makiko here. Kexts VERY IMPORTANT!! PRE INSTALL INITIAL KEXTS!!!
MUST PUT THESE IN USB EFI PARTITION FOR INSTALL TO HDD: FakeSMC.kext. Without this kext no can boot from USB or HDD always stuck a IO or Boot Crash Failure AppleIntelCPUPM NullCPUPowerManagement.kext. This is necessary in order to avoid AppleIntelCPU power management crash. From Dinesh (needed for PS2 keyboard after install or big mess.
If you have USB keyboard no worries.) ACPIBatteryManager.kext. from Rehabman. not sure who Only After successful install on HDD put these kexts below into EFI partition under kexts folder, otherwise may hang on boot POST INSTALL AsusNBFnKeys.kext.
Dinesh OSXLatitutde AppleBacklight.kext from Rehabman (have to run script which is provided to patch the kext and patch DSDT using the patch for HD3000) AppleHDA patcher 1.6 from Toleda. (download from this forum at downloads section) link: NOTE: (copy all of S/L/E to safe place before doing any patching). That is /System/Library/Extensions directory where all the kexts ( drivers ) are before doing any patching to kexts. This way you have backups to screw with later if something is needed or breaks.
I put the needed kexts in the ESP partition and it works just fine. I have no kexts in /S/L/E except for the hacked originals and one from Rehabman for the backlight issue. Even FakeSMC is in ESP/EFI. What other drivers are needed for above? An Emulator is also necessary. After you have successfully installed Clover open up the config.plist and go towards the bottom of the configurator on the left side locate 'Install Drivers' Go to DRIVERS UEFI 64 and press EmuVariableUEFI Go To EXTRA DRIVERS and press HFSPLUS and NTFS Next go to EFI locate Drivers UEFI 64 folder drag EmuVariableUEFI to Drivers 64 folder Do the same for HFSPLUS and NTFS drivers if these are not copied to Drivers 64 folder.
These are necessary for NVRAM EMULATION and Windows running NFTS Install RC scripts on target volume - uncheck for USB Installer. use for HDD SSD drives Install RC scripts on all other - uncheck for USB Installer. Optional RC scripts - uncheck for USB installer. use for HDD SDD drives Install Clover Preference Pane - uncheck for USB Installer. use for HDD SSD drives Click install let it finish. After it finishes, Open the EFI partition then click on Clover, then kexts folder, remove all the 10.x folders and leave only 'Other' folder, put all your kexts here in 'Other.' This remains in the system for life!
Don't remove. No PowerManagement yet.
Needed until PowerManagement has been stabilized. AtherosL1cEthernet.kext ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext and all the rest. To get the install going and such. CONFIGURING CONFIG.PLIST with Clover Configurator then after downloading Clover Configurator from SourceForge.com or here: open up the config.plist on the EFI partition which is located under Clover Folder. Right click config.plist and select open with option and pick Clover Configurator. 1st SECTION ACPI Section this section is chopped into several tables. INSTALLING the OS After you have successfully created a bootable USB installer and have installed Clover Bootloader on the USB, and have edited the config.plist, placed the necessary kexts in the EFI partition NEXT Put Clover installer.pkg on the USB Installer.
Create a folder give it a name say, software put reboot the laptop, with USB, when the Asus Logo appears start pressing ESC key to get the boot option menu select the USB one. This should bring up Clover. Press F4 to download DSDT SSDT and all the rest to the EFI partition on the USB drive.
These.aml files will end up in EFIClover ACPIorigin. (In theory Clover Patches the DSDT upon boot so it should find it and make necessary patches) But for those with no Prior OS X, well, have to relay totally on an vanilla USB Installer that it works from the start. You have to have a working Macky or Hacky to get new install. Assuming you have not installed OS 10.12 at this point but have previous OS X installed.
Continue on to boot to install, select the install usb icon in Clover Menu Boot Screen. Something like 'OSX Flash Drive' if you used 'Flash Drive Maker' will appear in the Boot Screen of Clover as you move you keys to each Mac Icon. Something like 'Install macOS Sierra' will appear if you used the createmedia method. Just click the enter button because your config.plist is set. Let Clover boot to the Installer and then once there you can select option Utility to setup your Hardrive for install.
NOTE: I would use FLASH DRIVE MAKER because it gives a better option upon installing over the createmedia method. Once you get to the Installer Screen select the option to slice and dice your brand new hardrive. Don't go directly to Installing the OS. Go to Utility Menu and open up Terminal need to use Disk Utility to slice and dice your hardrive to install the OS. Once you have Disk Utility up and running, Select the hardrive in the left pane Choose Erase, and let it finish.
After erasing, verify using First Aid to check for errors or damages. Then select Partition. Chose ' Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' and 'GUID' for 'Partition Table' type then click the option to set this choice it will setup the disk. Exit out of Disk Utility and the Utility Section to get back to the Install Screen. Continue to Installing There are some videos online to help with the next steps as I don't have that option to give you step by step view of the Install Screens.
Once the installer has finished installing, it will reboot most likely. If not and you get to the Add New User Screen good to go! Create your user, skip the create Apple ID for now even if you have one already don't use it. Make sure you are connected to the Internet via ethernet as this may cause a problem on finishing the new user creation and booting into the Desktop. Then once you have Desktop let OS finish creating all the directory's and setting it up.
Make sure your ethernet is working and you have Internet usage. Here you use QuickEFI to get to your EFI partition install it and use it to mount your EFI partition on the hardrive.
On your USB Installer go to the folder where you copied the clover installer.pkg Install it to using the same options as previous. After installing Clover Bootloader, mount your USB EFI partition and copy the entire folder beginning with EFI to your hardrives EFI partition. This way you don't have to re-edit config.plist for now and copy over the kexts and this.make sure you copy the boot file along with the EFI folder. It should be an exact copy of the USB EFI partition. Check your USB installer for DSDT if it got copied or not. If not do this step again but without USB.
If is it there, copy all the files to the hardrive EFI partition to EFI CloverACPIorigin If you had a reboot, and did not get to create a new user do the following: When you get to the Asus Boot Logo press the ESC key and select the USB Drive again and press enter When you get back to the Installer Screen, select Utilities and select Terminal. When you open Terminal you will be in root user mode. Now copy FakeSMC.kext from your software folder on the USB drive. TYPING: ls -l let this run for a few minutes to gather info. Then type in Terminal: cat /tmp/AppleIntelInfo.dat then scroll down to the very end and see if your PM is working.
Once you have figured out that it is working NOW YOU MUST UNLOAD: This step is important!!! In Terminal Type: kextunload AppleIntelInfo.kext press enter to stop the process Now you have a tool to check your PM is working. Leave NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in until you have working DSDT SSDT config.plist is edited patched kexts and proper kexts are in and have verified the PM is working. It will work even with NullCPU installed. Just not fully. You can use AppleIntelInfo.kext along with HWmonitor to see that the CPU is using speed step and does idle.
Check to Make sure in EFI partition, kexts folder -FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement, and the rest are there. Make sure after every time you add or remove kexts to /System/Library/Extensions that you use Kext Wizard to install them. Then check off Repair system permissions, Rebuild cache.

'Repair System Permissions.' If you forget you will have boot problems or system failures. For the EFI Partition kexts folder you can add and remove kexts without having to Repair Permissions or rebuilding the cache. Very convenient. Make sure in config.plist on your EFI partition under Kernel and Kext Patches these are checked: For Sandybridge,.-check for Ivybridge on the Laptop Power Management site AppleRTC - this is for Real Time Clocking Asus AICPUPM - this is for locked CPU in BIOS Kernel PM - this is for the Apple Kernel to management Power In ACPI under Old Way make sure Fix Shutdown is unchecked. Excellent work!!, I have an Asus K53SV Intel I7 2670QM 2,2GHz 8Gb Ram 120Gb SSD Kingston and 1TB WD data disk Nvidia Geforce GT 520mx, the rest of the hardware is exactly the same as yours.
I followed the same steps as you when I installed OS X El Capitan but but I used VoodooHDA for sound and Brightness Slider App to adjust the brightness. Now I installed Sierra almost without modifying anything. When I have more time I will try to fix the shutdown with your guide, thanks for sharing your experience.

Ra77, Thanks. For Audio use HDAPatcher 1.6 by Toleda, it works without using VoodooHDA and the sound is much better. Plus I have HDMI Audio working.
