Hello,
I was out of work. Now I'm adding a new x64 to check.

Hello,
I was out of work. Now I'm adding a new x64 to check.

Here are the issues.

- The config.plist directory is EFI/OC. Currently, it's under EFI which is wrong.
- There are several drivers which you don't need. Delete the unnecessary drivers from the drivers directory. The recommended drivers list is present in the config.plist creation guide.
- Still unnecessary kexts and other related files are present in the kext directory. Only files with .kext extension should be placed in this directory.
- The config.plist is the default config.plist and it has not been adjusted as per the guide.

Hello,
I created a new efi and I'm adding a zip.
I've read the instructions on how to make config.plist several times, but I don't know how to edit it so that it can be used for USB boot. I'm at the end, maybe if there was a video with the progress, I would probably be able to do it, but only with the description it's quite difficult.

For editing, you can use any .plist editor such as Xcode, Proper Tree, Plist Editor Pro or even OpenCore Configurator.

This is more clear and clean. You're reaching there!

Here are few issues.

- Find your Ethernet controller and use the appropriate ethernet kext.
- This is a new Laptop and must have I2C. Add I2C kexts too.
- You don't need to use DSDT at the moment. Remove it.
- config.plist is the default config.plist. You need to adjust the config.plist as per the config.plist creation guide.

I am adding a new EFI. I tried to edit config.plist according to the video I found.
I don't know exactly how to choose the type of processor in OC GEN X. Please check, thank you

Here are the following issues.

- You don't need SMC-related kexts, except for VirtualSMC, so remove the unnecessary ones.
- You have not added any I2C kexts.
- The SMBIOS you're using is iMac. Use a MacBookPro SMBIOS, 15,2.

The rest seems fine.

Thanks, good news for me that it's starting to end
- so should I delete the SMCProccessor, SMCSuperIO, SMCLightSensor and SMCBatteryManager luminaires?
- I will change SMBIOS to MacBookPro SMBIOS, 15.2
- but I don't know where to find I2C kexts and how to enter them correctly, please help

Yes, for now. SMCBatteryManager can be installed once you patch the ACPI.

I will change SMBIOS to MacBookPro SMBIOS, 15.2

Sounds good.

but I don't know where to find I2C kexts and how to enter them correctly, please help

It's simple. Add the kexts to your kext directory and link them in your config.plist. Although, for now, i would suggest you to do the above changes and setup your BIOS and try to boot using the USB.

- I don't know where to find I2C kexts, will you advise?

I already advised you to ignore it for now and proceed with the above two changes and boot.
