ℹ️ The current version of the EFI is only compatible with macOS Ventura! Any other versions are UNTESTED!
This is simply an EFI backup for the HP Victus 16. Only use this EFI if you have the exact same model.

- CPU power management (still problematic due to AMD, but works fine)
- Graphics acceleration (Chromium based hw still have issue. See also https://chefkiss.dev/applehax/nootedred/#chrome-chromium-based-browsers-and-apps-like-sublime-text-cause-graphical-artefacts-amongst-other-problems)
- Keyboard & Trackpad
- USB ports
- Ethernet
- Audio (internal speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack)
- iCloud & App Store
- HDMI video & audio output (not tested)
- Webcam (I don't even realise am I use webcam)
- iMessage & Face Time (I can't use these android so i can't tested)
- Virtualization (due to the lack of AMD-V support in macOS)
- Sleep & Wake (will be fixing in next versions of this EFI)
- Nvidia dGPU (current MacOS don't like him)
- Wi-fi & Bluetooth (Realtek cards not supported)
You will need to generate your own SMBIOS and edit the config, since it is required to boot macOS at all. The HP Victus 16 works best with the MacBookPro16,3 SMBIOS, but if a different one that works better is discovered, we'll update the repo. Use GenSMBIOS to generate your own PlatformInfo values and then copy them to the related path in:
- Config.plist -> PlatformInfo -> Generic
- Disable TPM and fTPM (optional) set the assigned VRAM via SmokeLessUMAF to 1G at minimum, 2G is recommended.
- Secure boot should also be off.
