Extra notes

Replaced hardware

Wifi

I am recommending DW1560 as your hackintosh wifi card rather than DW1820A. It has a better stability, no hardware gambilng, etc. I choose DW1820A because it's cheap af ;), but you will hard to find the compatible device id. you could use this [guide] (https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11479-dw1820a-guide-compatible-property-not-overriding/)

i left a source code for enabling broadcom wifi card in "hotpatch" folder if you're willing to use DW1560 rather than DW1820A.

hotpatch

uncompiled hotpatch are present in "hotpatch" folder and can be used for other purpose.
