This EFI is for Opencore 0.6.3

May not work with newer versions of opencore!!

Worked on:

-Catalina 10.15.4 → Catalina 10.15.7 

-HAVE NOT USED ON BIGSUR!!

!!IMPORTANT!! If you are using this EFI folder:

-You will need to create your own SMBIOS if you want to use iMessage, Facetime, any iServices, etc. 
    (you can youtube this)

-You will also need to create your own USBMAPPING if you encounter any conflicts with your USB ports
    (you can also youtube this, it will be a lot easier to visually see what they're doing)
    
-I am using a 5000 series card, so I have adpg=pikera in my BootArgs. If you are using last gen cards take this out.

ISSUES YOU MAY FACE

* SLEEP and SLEEP FROM WAKE:
    Pretty much a known issues with AMD builds. I did do my own USBMapping, and seems to be working on 0.6.3
    
* Discord:
    Pretty much unuseable. Had to use it during a hackathon meeting, and was horrible :(
    FIX can be found here, but have not tested it

* Random google chrome freezes
    I'm not sure if its my 5500xt that's defective or if its a whatevergreen problem, but my google chrome would freeze 
    for a full second randomly throughout my time of use.
    
* Mouse stuttering issues
    Fixed by downloading steelseries exact mouse. (direct download link below)
        https://downloads.steelseriescdn.com/drivers/tools/steelseries-exactmouse-tool.dmg
    Heard you can also fix this by adding this line into the terminal, but not sure.
        "defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1"

PLEASE USE MY CONFIG.PLIST AND EFI FOLDER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
