Ventura has dropped more models which includes all of the blacklisted Macs in question, making the procedure slightly different. It is important to follow the guide for the version you're on, failing to do so is likely to cause boot issues.

::: details macOS Sonoma

Firstly run OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Then go to **Settings** and **SMBIOS** tab, set SMBIOS Spoof Level to **Moderate**. Set SMBIOS Spoof Model **one listed next to your native model in the table for spoofed models below.**

Notice that "Allow native models" and "Allow Native Spoofs" **are NOT** enabled unlike on Monterey, this is on purpose. They are no longer relevant on Sonoma and enabling them will cause boot issues.

::: details Table for spoofed models (click to expand)

Spoofing to any model with native Sonoma support should work, but these are the earliest Macs natively supported by Sonoma and thus chosen for the sake of simplicity.

**Reminder:** Macs that are not listed on this table work without spoofing, including systems that do not natively support Ventura as long as the other requirements are met, since they aren't blacklisted.
