    There is no sane way to update Oz for recent macOS versions. The current ways with the external kernel support already is batshit crazy. Also, no, Oz is not easier than OC. It might appear to be easier on the platforms it supported well, while on some others it will simply not work at all. All auto-detect configuration done by Oz - and still done by Clover - are heuristics that work ok most of the time but every now and then fail phenomenally.


    Why don’t you spend your time making OC easier to use as you see fit rather than trying to revive is zombie?

    Did you know that Ozmosis Catalina can also boot without an external kernel patcher?

    I'm not such a good developer to e.g. Modify OpenCore so that it can be loaded from the BIOS

    It should work with Z490, I can't prove it due to lack of appropriate hardware.

    Maybe a forum user with newer hardware is willing to test it?

    Don't you understand? I'm looking for people to help make Ozmosis compatible with newer versions of macOS. In addition, you can still use older versions of macOS.

    You can't boot Monterey. The current version is able to boot Catalina without an external kernel patcher. If someone with the appropriate knowledge would help, newer macos versions would also be usable. However, there is still a lack of developers who are able and willing to do so.

    This ozmosis version has new features, unlike old versions like 167X-MASS. This includes, among other things, that you can edit the settings of the Defaults.plist in the BIOS, similar to how you can overclock a cpu.

    They can invest their time in something else.

    As extensive as OC is today, they would never get the old OZM versions.

    Also, OZM would have to be loaded from the EFI on newer systems anyway.

    That's wasted time and effort.

    You can Flash Ozmosis also on newer Systems.

    Why old versions? Look at the 2023 version, it has nothing to do with the old versions. I'm working on newer versions!


    You hardly have to configure ozmosis, flash bios and boot macos.

    Hello everyone
    I would like to ask here whether there is still interest in Ozmosis. If so, I would consider working on it. If you want to help you are invited.
    This boot loader was great and should not be forgotten. The last official release was almost 10 years ago. OpenCore, started and buried from Hermitcrabslabs, is not as easy to use in the application as Ozmosis and also not in the same way. It is a shame that the Ozmosis Source Code has never been released. The time for publication is now.

    Hello everyone, this BIOS should be the 2023 version of ozmosis.

    If you want to continue using ozmosis, I can help. I also answered your DM.
    Anyone who needs support with ozmosis is welcome to report. I have access to the source and will also share it.

    Since there is no longer much interest in Ozmosis, I won't be working on further versions. This one in the forum is the latest and if anyone needs support with it, I would be willing to help.

    I would advise against using Darboot and Kernextpatcher.

    If anyone wants, I can provide a debug version which can help resolve problems using logging.


    With Ozmosis there is no way to boot Big Sur and newer. This won't change if no other developer deals with it. However, there is now apparently the option to flash OpenCore into the BIOS, which can be a replacement for Ozmosis.


    I would recommend anyone who is still using ozmosis to upgrade to the 2022 version. Bios Ozmosis Catalina bleibt beim Start beim Apple-Logo hängen

    Yes, oz can also be used without being integrated into the bios. Normally, however, it was part of the bios.

    Filesystem does not need to be replaced if you are using a 100 series board or newer.

    Das der Punkt OZ im Kern war schon Board spezifisch nämlich für das QUO AOS und es war eigentlich nicht so gedacht das die Leute das aus dessen UEFI zerren und überall sonst einbauen aber gut Detail am Rande :)

    Gib mal Feedback ob das klappt Raptortosh und ob damit was mehr/anders geht als mit dem XMAS Release und den Dingern die danach mit den Modifikationen von cecekpawon kamen würde mich mal interessieren.


    There are some new features in this build. If you use it, you'll find out. Not everything may work, or errors may occur. It's a test build, not an official release.




    Did you add kext for ethernet?


    Could any of you link this post to insanelymac.com? I can't log in there.

    But for what? OZ is dead. And for which mobo? Which BIOS? I think you're trolling.

    Friends, be warned: do not download.

    why not? Maybe some people still use it? It's better to have a newer version.

    Like others said it's just the Ozmosis loader driver not a bios for a specific motherboard.

    This is not an official release build, it's just a test build with fixes and other features.


    Das ist einfach nur die Ozmosis.efi, nicht ein bios mod für ein bestimmtes Board.

    Hab eben mal die Oz.efi in mein Z97X-UD3H Board bios integriert und geflasht, werde später mal versuchen damit zu booten...

    Try it. It works with 10.15.6 but not with 11.0 and newer!

    It's an Ozmosis Build from 2022. It works up to Catalina 10.15.6. 10.15.7 requires external aptiofix.

    It should also work on 100 series and newer.
