“OpenCore Legacy Patcher” (or just OCLP) is a tool that allows older Macs to run macOS Big Sur and Monterey without official support from Apple. A group of developers, however, is holding on worked on a tool that allows users to run macOS Ventura on unsupported Macs. You can download OpenCore Legacy Patcher from GitHub here.When Apple announced macOS Ventura at WWDC 2022 in June, the company also announced that several older Macs had been officially discontinued, including the popular “trashcan” Mac Pro and the first-ever MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. But the OCLP developers said “Hogwash! We shall bring Stage Manager to the masses who insist on still using ancient computers!” And this they have done. The new operating system brings some amazing new features, such as Stage Manager, an actually useful Mail app, some killer Spotlight features, and the wonders of Continuity Camera, to name a few.Īpple said macOS Ventura will not run on iMacs from before 2017, MacBooks from before 2018, and Mac Minis made before 2018. Still, I can see why people who refuse to part with a 2012 MacBook Air, complete with bezels larger than my hand, would want to run macOS Ventura. Quite frankly, some of these Macs should be in a museum and not sitting on desks out in public, pretending to still be useful, but that is only my own grumpy opinion.

The team behind OCLP showed no cowardice in tackling the problem and through some kind of wizardry, they managed to get Ventura running on old x86 Macs. This includes my early 2008 Mac Pro (Nvidia Kepler and AMD GCN 1), 2012 Mac mini, 2014 Mac mini and 2014 5k iMac! /cMQ5Qk8uoo Plus, Apple has significantly changed the Metal rendering stack in the intervening years to the point where new macOS releases are practically an alien language to older Macs.Īfter many months of work, we’ve finally gotten macOS Ventura running on legacy Metal GPUs! Those older machines run Intel processors with x86 architecture, while Apple silicone uses ARM chipsets. Porting macOS Ventura to OCLP for older Macs hasn’t been easy, the engineers told Ars Technica. This devious scam app proves that Macs aren’t bulletproof Nvidia finally made a tiny RTX 4000 graphics card (but you probably don’t want it)Īpple confirms a new Mac Pro is coming - but when will it launch?
