[oc-asus-h470i] Opencore 0.8.0 macOS Monterey setup.

Gotchas

• The installer went trough with the iGPU displayport cable.
• 3 out of 4 USB Stick were not OK, and the 4th (Adata 32gb) worked first try flawlessly (root image verification so I was stuck on [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START]), the USB port also matter, i used to closest USB 2.0 to the ethernet adapter in my case
• Prev install was Big Sur, the Monterey install went on top if it (all data is kept, nice upgrade)
• Monterey ignored USB devices first so i had to use UsbToolBox

Notes

There is 2 EFI folders for sample, the EFI inside the install folder was used to install Monterey!

Tools used to create the EFI

• Opencore Configurator (To mount the efi, validate config)
• ProperTree (To do the snapshots)
• SSDT-s precompiled
• Hackintool (To verify current OC version between the swaps)
