PLIST is a file format that was designed by Apple Computer and GNUstep for storing information about applications, user settings and other serialized objects. If you are looking for tools that will let you edit the PLIST files on your Mac, then take a look at the apps from the following list.

  2. Apple Plist Viewer
  3. Delete Plist Office For Mac

Now that we've got all our Kexts(.kext), SSDTs(.aml) and firmware drivers(.efi), your USB should start to look something like this:

  • Note: Your USB will look different, everyone's system will have different requirements.

Plist files contain preference specifics and properties relevant to a particular application or portion of Mac OS X system software. Depending on where the plist file is located and what function they serve, they can either be in XML format, binary format, and sometimes even json. What is a Plist? Essentially, it's a preference file. What is in the Plist folder? Preferences for software used on that Mac OS X user account. What do I lose if I move it to desktop or trash it? That depends on the application or other item that uses it. Or does it reconstruct itself? A file with the default settings will be created if needed.

# Creating your config.plist

Delete Plist Word For Mac

First we'll want to grab the sample.plist from the OpenCorePkg, this will be located under the Docs folder:

Next lets move it onto our USB's EFI partition(will be called BOOT on Windows) under EFI/OC/, and rename it to config.plist:

# Adding your SSDTs, Kexts and Firmware Drivers

For the rest of this guide, you're gonna need some form of plist editing. And for our guide, we'll be using ProperTree and GenSMBIOS to help automate some of the tedious work:

  • ProperTree
    • Universal plist editor
  • GenSMBIOS
    • For generating our SMBIOS data

Apple Plist Viewer

Next, let's open ProperTree and edit our config.plist:

  • ProperTree.command
    • For macOS
    • Pro tip: there's a buildapp.command utility in the Scripts folder that lets you turn ProperTree into a dedicated app in macOS
  • ProperTree.bat
    • For Windows

Once ProperTree is running, open your config.plist by pressing Cmd/Ctrl + O and selecting the config.plist file on your USB.

After the config is opened, press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R and point it at your EFI/OC folder to perform a 'Clean Snapshot':

  • This will remove all the entries from the config.plist and then adds all your SSDTs, Kexts and Firmware drivers to the config
  • Cmd/Ctrl + R is another option that will add all your files as well but will leave entries disabled if they were set like that before, useful for when you're troubleshooting but for us not needed right now

Once done, you'll see your SSDTs, Kexts and firmware drivers populated in the config.plist:

If you wish to clean up the file a bit, you can remove the #WARNING entries. Though they cause no issues staying there, so up to personal preference.

# Selecting your platform

Now comes the important part, selecting the configuration path. Each platform has their own unique quirks that you need to account for so knowing your hardware is super important. See below for what to follow:
