Chameleon Wizard for Mac. 35,817 downloads Updated: October 17, 2014 Donationware. Review Free Download. Chameleon Wizard allows you to visualize the content of the SMBios.plist file that contains general information about your device, such as the family, manufacturer, serial number. When my Hac was built last year, its SMBIOS was set as iMacPro1,1 (iMac Pro 2017). This made sense since this was the closest Mac Apple made to mine at the time. Now that the Mac Pro is out, I'm wondering if it makes sense to change the SMBIOS to MacPro7,1 (2019 Mac Pro) since this is a desktop profile which seems more like my build and I'm. AMD machines work better when you match the GPU to the SMBIOS. Monitor size shouldn't matter since it'll read your monitor as external. Catalina - 10.15 2 points 5 months ago edited 5 months ago. March 19, 2020 guide on serial numbers in the 'Platforminfo' section of the Open Core guide. And there's also some special notes with SMBIOS: iMacPro1,1 and MacPro7,1 are the only 2 SMBIOS that will allow for dGPU to handle all the workload including background. We only recommend this SMBIOS if you require this, however you'll likely need to fix power management as sleep may break. The best way to select the correct SMBIOS is to use Clover Configurator and from the SMBIOS section choose the closest Apple’s SMBIOS to match your hardware. Open Clover Configurator navigate to SMBIOS section like shown in the picture bellow and click on the SMBIOS selector and navigate through the list and find the best matching config and select it, Save the new config and that’s pretty much it.

For all these steps you will need to edit your config.plist. When messing around with the SBMIOS settings it's recommended create a backup first before proceeding:
- Mount your EFI partition with Clover Configurator
- Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/Other
- Backup your config.plist by making a duplicate copy of it and renaming the backup something else i.e. config-smbios-backup.plist
Smbios For Mac Catalina
- Right-click config.plist and open with Clover Configurator
- Click SMBIOS on left side
- Copy the Serial Number
- Go to checkcoverage.apple.com
- Paste Serial Number and click Continue
- If it comes back as valid you will need to generate a new serial number until you get a error or invalid serial number
- Go back to Clover Configurator SMBIOS section
- Repeat Generate New and paste to checkcoverage.apple.com until you get an Invalid Serial Number
Now that you have your own invalid serial number you need to replace the Board Serial Number with one containing your Invalid Serial Number along with 5 random digits. Since they can be any digits I keep the last five digits of the Board Serial Number and replace the first 12 with the Serial Number
- Copy Serial Number
- Replace the first 12 digits of Board Serial Number with the copied Serial Number
- Open Terminal
- Generate a unique string by entering uuidgen into Terminal
- Copy & Paste the generated UUID value from Terminal into SmUUID in Clover Configurator -> SMBIOS
- Save config.plist
- Restart Hackintosh
Smbios Mac Pro 6 1
- Select RTVariables in Clover Configurator
- Set ROM value to UseMacAddr0
Smbios Mac Address
RTVaraibles -> MLB can be left blank once the steps are followed. You can also use one off a valid Mac that you own if you wish, but it is not required or experiment with an MLB generator if you wish, but again following the steps above you shouldn't have any issues with simply leaving MLB blank.
BooterConfig
- Set RTVariables -> BooterConfig to 0x28 for Intel for a AMD/Ryzen machine leave it at the value it's already set at.
- CsrActiveConfig or SIP should be left in the disabled state i.e. 0x67 for more information see: Enable & Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) on a Hackintosh
