OpCore Simplify

A tool designed to simplify the creation of OpenCore EFI. It streamlines the Hackintosh installation process by automating tasks such as auto-patching DSDT, adding suitable kexts, and customizing the config.plist. Whether you're a beginner or experienced user, OpCore Simplify takes away much of the complexity associated with Hackintosh setups.

--- ## ✨ **Features** 1. **Automatic Updates**: Automatically check and update OpenCorePkg, kexts and AMD Vanilla Patches. 2. **Hardware Information Gathering**: Leverages the [Hardware Sniffer](https://github.com/lzhoang2801/Hardware-Sniffer) tool to gather detailed hardware information. It uses USB ID and PCI ID databases to ensure precise hardware compatibility checks. 3. **Comprehensive Hardware Support**: Fully supports most modern hardware (excluding legacy devices). Use the Compatibility Checker to view supported/unsupported devices. 4. **Enhanced ACPI Patching**: Add and customize various ACPI patches with integrated support from [SSDTTime](https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime). 5. **Device-Specific Kexts**: Automatically identifies and adds kexts for devices like WiFi, ethernet, sound codec, Bluetooth, keyboard, mouse, touchpad, USB controller, and SATA controller based on their hardware IDs. 6. **Custom Tweaks**: Apply additional customization based on both widely used sources and personal experience. --- ### ☕ **Support the Project**: If you love what I'm building, consider buying me a coffee!
