Time Sync

Since macOS take BIOS time as UTC time, and Windows take it as local time, we need to make Windows take BIOS time as UTC time.

sudo Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation /v RealTimeIsUniversal /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Disable auto mount

sudo cp ./Other/fstab /etc

Enable middle mouse for look up & data detectors

brew cask install Karabiner-Elements
cp ./Other/lookup.json ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications

You can use them in Preferences -> Complex Modifications -> Add rule

Modify hidden BIOS settings

(Recommend) Advanced BIOS setting (credit @lgs3137 / @卖女孩的小火柴 / @fgfg163)

1. Press Delete to enter BIOS after power on.
2. Press Right Ctrl, Right Shift, Left Alt and then F2 to open the hidden BIOS settings. (Be careful with the key order)
3. Change Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> CFG Lock to Disabled.

Unlock CFG

1. Use UEFITool to open the BIOS file.
2. Search for CFG Lock in Text segment.
3. In the search segment, double click the search resoult to jump to it.
4. Right click the highlighted search resoult, click Extract body..., and save it as cfg.bin.
5. Use IFR Extractor to extract the text.

   ./ifrextract cfg.bin cfg.txt
       

6. Search for MSR 0xE2 in cfg.txt, look for VarStoreInfo and VarStore.
7. Use grub-mod-setup_var to create a GRUB bootloader in a NEW USB disk.

   ESP
   └── EFI
       └── BOOT
           └── BOOTX64.efi
       

8. Reboot to the GRUB Shell.
9. Check CFG

   setup_var_3 0x123
       

   The value 0x123 is your VarStoreInfo’s value. The resault value should be your VarStore’s value.

10. Unlock CFG

    setup_var_3 0x123 0x00
        

You can change DVMT-Pre-Allocted in the same way. Just search DVMT in your cfg.txt and do the same as follows.

HDMI/DP

Enable video output for your Product. (choose one method)

• (default) use boot argument agdpmod=vit9696 to disables check for board-id (credit WhateverGreen)
• change ProductName to MacBookPro13,1 in config.plist. (thanks to @hsulei)
• add config to plist. (credit @PLChinDev)

  sudo mount -uw /
  cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/
  plutil -insert IOKitPersonalities.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.ConfigMap.Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C -string "none" Info.plist
  sudo kextcache -i /
      

Notes

• If you want to edit plist’s Data type in Xcode, you should use format like <01000000>.
