Mr. Macintosh
Apple released macOS Ventura Beta at WWDC22. Everyone has been asking if Ventura is compatible with older Macs using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. In this video I will give you a status update on the current situation. Let me know if you have any questions!

I want to thank both Mykola Grymalyuk (khronokernel) & Dhinak G (dhinakg) for your work on OpenCore Legacy Patcher + all of the contributing developers that help maintain the patcher. OCLP brings new life to thousands of Macs and saves them from the recycler!

Do you still have OCLP version 0.3.1 or older? You need to follow these instructions in my video below first before upgrading. If you have 0.3.2 and newer you can update normally.

DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Big Sur on your unsupported Mac is a best effort by the community. A ton of work went into getting the patcher to work! Some things might not work exactly right but it’s really really close. I would not recommend installing on a system that you rely on for work or school. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST BEFORE YOU UPGRADE! The good news is that you are getting the latest security fixes from Apple. Some might argue that upgrading to Patched Monterey makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on 10.13 and below.
