If you want to deepen your understanding and broaden your knowledge, read the white papers on SMBIOS. Place it in /Extra вЂ“ Reboot and then check out your system profiler. You can find out the generation of Mac by simply looking at EFI Boot ROM version in AppleвЂ™s Web site. Your SMProductName would be вЂњMacMini1,1вЂќ and your SMBiosversion would be вЂњ 08вЂќ. For instance if you wish to mimic a MacMini Early 2006. You may get the data directly from AppleвЂ™s website. Now as for finding the right values (i.e Product name, BIOS version). If you have an EFI partition, then place it in the /Extra folder of your EFI partition. Now you may want to use TextEdit or nano or plist editor to create a new file (or modify my existing ist) and call it as ist. Generally youвЂ™ll be needing it if you want to get certain program such as Silverlight, etc to work properly If you have plans on fixing your CPU being recognised as Unknown, then do check out this post on patched version of Chameleon.

SMUUID : Enter your UUID here if youвЂ™re having issues with UUID.

#HACKINTOSH SMBIOS GENERATOR SERIAL NUMBER#

SMmemserial_1 : Serial number of your RAM.

SMmemmanufacter_1 : Manufacturer of your RAM (i.e Kingston, Apple, etc).

SMmemspeed : Memory clock speed (i.e 533Mhz, 667Mhz).

#HACKINTOSH SMBIOS GENERATOR CODE#

Use 18 for DDR / 19 for DDR2 / 20 for DDR2 FB-DIMM / 24 for DDR3 вЂ“ You can get the whole list for SMmemtype by reading ChameleonвЂ™s documentation or grabbing the source code Therefore it would be 3000 (Measured in Mhz) (whereby 1Ghz = 1000Mhz)

SMmaximalclock : Your computer clock speed (i.e Intel Pentium D 830 is a 3.00Ghz processor).

SMexternalclock : Frequency of your FSB (measured in Mhz).

SMserial : Serial Number of your Hackint0sh.

By default its Apple, but if you want to use any other name or branding.

SMbiosvendor : As the name suggests it reflects the company who made the BIOS.

#HACKINTOSH SMBIOS GENERATOR HOW TO#

You can take this data from a real mac or from AppleвЂ™s site (which I would describe on how to get information on a particular Boot ROM for a particular mac)

SMsystemversion : The boot rom (aka BIOS version).

Default its Apple, but then if you want to put your own OEM branding.

SMmanufacter : The manufacturer of the Computer.

Only use this if you plan to stick with dsmos or if you want SMC Version to be like a RealMac But since we have fakeSMC, you can easily skip this part.

SMbiosversion : Its used when fakeSMC is not being used.

This is optional, you could actually skip this.

SMbiosdate : Date when the firmware was released.

SMproductname : The model, for instance you can call yours as вЂњMacPro0,1вЂќ, or вЂњMacPro1,5вЂќ or even follow a real Mac Model.

For instance if you want to emulate as a MacPro, the Family would be вЂњMacProвЂќ (without quotes), as for a Mac Mini it would be вЂњMacMiniвЂќ (without quotes) Now lets take a look at what these key means and how to get the values.

Feel free to remove the entire string and key corresponds to it. For instance if you would like Chameleon to use default memory part number for your RAM.

You donвЂ™t have to key in all the details, if you wish. This is an example of ist (IвЂ™ve attached one here so that you can take a look at modify it). You can make it to feel like a real macintosh by altering its value to match with a real Mac, or alternatively you may use your own values. Lets take a look on how we could build our own SMBIOS. If youвЂ™re wondering what SMBIOS stands for вЂ“ Its System Management BIOS. This trick doesnвЂ™t work with earlier version of Chameleon as it doesnвЂ™t support SMBIOS injection. To get started, you must be using Chameleon VR RC1/RC2/RC3 boot loader. Anyhow, this guide explains the fundementals on building your own Apple ist (more after the jump) But still some insist on fixing it right so that they would make themselves proud. It doesnвЂ™t mean that your RAMs are clocked at 667Mhz when youвЂ™re in OSX. If OSX shows you that it sees your 800Mhz DDR2 RAM as 667Mhz. Most of the people who have asked this question arenвЂ™t aware that its purely cosmetic/asthetic. I do get questions on how to fix RAM detection of OSX, how to fix CPU Detection of OSX, etc.
