I got macOS 15.7 on the absolute oldest machine supported by OCLP

this project was nothing but a pain in the ass, this is a MacBook Pro 17-inch (Early 2008) but it is a “Late 2008” revision, which basically is the Revision 603 of the 8600M GT. This is a more reliable graphics card, so this MacBook will stay operational for way longer. Still same shitty hardware though so it gave me a MASSIVE headache

this is NOT recommended for anyone who wants to keep their sanity together as this heats up all the time with Sequoia 15.7 (way more compared to Monterey 12.7.4), the fans are full blast after a few minutes turned on and it beachballs loading safari, i still love this machine but it’s best used for Monterey or Ventura at best. The fact this isn’t 15.7.3 shows i’ve been working on this for pretty long and i’m just too lazy to install 15.7.3. It has a 512 GB SATA SSD and 6 GB DDR2 RAM so i obviously opened this thing. I had to buy a mouse just to navigate to install root patches. I will use this mouse for my new PC soon though so not a waste of money.
