To install on your machine, you can download and run the macOS Mojave Patcher application, which will let you download a copy of the latest installer app from Apple and create a bootable installer drive for use on unsupported Macs. It contains all the patches necessary to achieve the hardware support listed above.
Currently, pre-metal video cards used in Mojave will produce a weird darkish grey Menu Bar and Finder sidebar when using the light theme. In the dark theme, these anomalies are not present, while other, less obvious anomalies are present (window corners may not render properly, bottom part of dock menus may have artifacts). A workaround for graphics anomalies in light mode is to enable Reduce Transparency in System Preferences Accessibility Display (this might create additional side effects beside the obvious loss of transparency as some systems with pre-metal AMD graphics render the dock in dark gray). AMD Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx series GPU acceleration'Currently, it is not possible to get full graphics acceleration when running Mojave on a system with a Radeon HD 5xxx or 6xxx series video card. Mojave will be almost unusable without graphics acceleration. This includes the 15' and 17' MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3).
If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD video card (This will work on MacBook Pro 8,2 and 8,3 systems ONLY. You CANNOT disable the AMD GPU in an iMac.) Weird colors will also be produced when running Mojave with one of these video cards installed/enabled.
To disable the AMD GPU on a 2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 or 8,3, follow the guide found. Some users have reported crashing upon opening the App Store. This is caused by App Store videos and can be worked around by disabling video autoplay and not viewing App Store videos.
This is not a fix, this is a workaround. Safari may also experience crashes with certain kinds of embedded videos.Current Issues by Hardware. Minor Issues. Graphics anomalies:. All machines. Built-in iSight camera:.

Hi all,Just got a 2010 MacBook Pro 17' for free to use since a relative has upgraded recently. Wiped the system, installed High Sierra, and ended up ugrading to 8GB RAM. However, I am enticed by dosdude1's Mojave patcher since Dark Mode is a huge must for me.That being said, anyone have a MacBookPro6,1 and has used this method?
The only thing I'm concerned about is that the dedicated GPU is a Nvidia GeForce 330m. What are the side effects of having to use the integrated Intel graphics on Mojave for a 9-year old system?.
