GPD P2 Max 2019 Hackintosh

OpenCore EFI folder for GPD P2 Max 2019 (m3-8100Y BIOS 0.29) now supports up to macOS 15.3.1 Sequoia

With OCAuxiliaryTools I updated Azkali/GPD-P2-MAX-Hackintosh (Jan 13, 2021) to OpenCore 1.0.3
Added some Kexts and selected SMBIOS MacBookAir9,1 (maximum OS = Current)

Hardware specs

• CPU: Intel Core m3-8100Y (8th-gen Amber Lake-Y)
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 615
• RAM: 16GB LPDDR3 1866MHz
• SSD: 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 (BiWIN NS200)
• Laptop Make and Model: GPD P2 Max 2019
• Audio Codec: Realtek ALC269
• Ethernet USB-C Adapter: Realtek RTL8156B
• Wifi/BT Card: Intel AC 7265D2W
• Touchpad: I²C HID Device
• BIOS Revision: AMI 5.12, GPD P2 Max 0.29

Basic Usage

1. Create a macOS Sequoia bootable USB using this tutorial but use the provided EFI folder instead of configuring it on your own
2. Boot from the freshly created USB then install macOS Sequoia on a free partition of your drive
3. During first boot, after installing the OS, mount your EFI partition and place the EFI folder content alongside other OSes bootloader
4. Reboot and change BIOS bootloader order to have OpenCore bootloader as first entry
5. Generate a new SMBIOS using CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS
6. Reboot and enjoy !

How to build this dual boot Hackintosh from scratch [NEW]:

Disclaimer: Installing GPD firmware will always erase the entire 512GB NVME drive! Back up your data first!

1. The latest GPD P2Max Windows10 Home v1909 firmware ⁷ restores the factory Out-Of-Box-Experience:

2. Delete partitions GPT(128MB), D:(365GB NTFS) and Recovery(12GB NTFS) with IM-Magic Partition Resizer.

Move/Resize SYSTEM(100MB FAT32) and C:Windows(238GB NTFS) to the end of local Disk0.

3. Insert the macOS Sequoia USB installer. Press 'Reload disks' in IM-Magic Partition Resizer.
Copy the bootable EFI(200MB FAT32) of USB Disk1 to Unallocated(238GB) at the begin of local Disk0.
Format the remaining Unallocated(238GB) into partition D:macOS(238GB FAT32) and reboot.

4. Erase partition macOS(238GB FAT32) into volume macOS(238GB APFS). Install macOS Sequoia.
Copy my Hackintosh EFI folder to the bootable EFI(200MB FAT32) of local Disk0 and reboot.

Notes

• Fixing the iGPU hardware acceleration

• Grabbing the built-in screen's EDID data for AAPL00⁴
