Download BaseSystem or RecoveryImage files
cd /path/to/OpenCore-0.6.7-Release/Utilities/macrecovery # Catalina(10.15) python ./macrecovery.py -b Mac-00BE6ED71E35EB86 -m 00000000000000000 download
you'll either get BaseSystem or RecoveryImage files.

- SSDT-EC - for For Broadwell desktops and older
Fixes the embedded controller - SSDT-IMEI Needed to add a missing IMEI device on Ivy Bridge CPU with 6 series motherboards
- SSDT-PM - run Pike's ssdtPRGen.sh script to generate this file. This will be run in post install
EFI/OC/Drivers/
- HfsPlus.efi - Needed for seeing HFS volumes
- OpenRuntime.efi - used as an extension for OpenCore to help with patching boot.efi for NVRAM fixes and better memory management.

- Lilu
A kext to patch many processes, required for AppleALC, WhateverGreen, VirtualSMC and many other kexts. Without Lilu, they will not work.
Note that Lilu and plugins requires OS X 10.8 or newer to function - VirtualSMC
Emulates the SMC chip found on real macs, without this macOS will not boot Alternative is FakeSMC which can have better or worse support, most commonly used on legacy hardware. Requires OS X 10.6 or newer- SMCProcessor.kext
Used for monitoring CPU temperature, doesn't work on AMD CPU based systems - SMCSuperIO.kext
Used for monitoring fan speed, doesn't work on AMD CPU based systems
- SMCProcessor.kext
- WhateverGreen - Used for graphics patching DRM, boardID, framebuffer fixes, etc, all GPUs benefit from this kext.
AppleALC- VoodooHDA VT1708S.kext
- RealtekTRL8111
- USBInjectAll
- VoodooPS2Controller.kext - PS2 keyboard

7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82boot-args Description shikigva=40 Swaps boardID to iMac14,2 for better Nvidia support and whitelists patches
- Add
Intel BIOS settings Note: Most of these options may not be present in your firmware, we recommend matching up as closely as possible but don't be too concerned if many of these options are not available in your BIOS
- Fast Boot
Secure BootSerial/COM PortParallel PortVT-d (can be enabled if you set DisableIoMapper to YES)- CSM
Thunderbolt(For initial install, as Thunderbolt can - cause issues if not setup correctly)Intel SGXIntel Platform TrustCFG Lock (MSR 0xE2 write protection)(This must be off, if you can't find the option then enable AppleCpuPmCfgLock under Kernel -> Quirks. Your hack will not boot with CFG-Lock enabled)
