How To Run Mac OS X El Capitan On Microsoft Surface Pro 3

I wanted to write this tutorial a long time ago but I just couldn’t find the time to do so. You will need to find a way to obtain the Mac OS X El Capitan ISO or update app if on a Macintosh. You will need a usb thumb drive with at least 8GB however 16GB is preferred. For the purposes of this tutorial I will be using Clover Boot Loader. I’m not really a fan of the newer OpenCore Boot as when you have a error with your EFI you literally can not boot without having the hard drive externally and these are not the devices to be removing screens just to fix any errors with your install;whereas with clover it can simply be disabled. I also found in testing that only certain versions of clover will boot if you use anything else it simply won’t boot 


Programs and files you will need are…
16GB free space absolute minimum with just a couple programs; recommended is 64GB, but 32GB is sufficient for most users. 

Unibeast 6.2.0. :  https://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/unibeast-6-2-0-yosemite-and-el-capitan.314/ Create the bootable USB. The Main reason why we need this app is not only to create the USB Installer; But When Creating the installer it installs Clover onto the USB Drives EFI Which will be your first Method Of Getting Clover Bootloader to boot on the Surface Pro 3.

VirtualBox : https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html If you don’t have a Mac Environment you can use this program to virtualize one 

To be used with Unibeast 

(You can use normal Windows Disk Manager from control panel but if you ran low on space even if you have deleted a bunch of files it may not let you allocate enough space to complete the install. This program should let you use whatever free space you have; but there are other options) This program does however let you make your EFI Partition Visible or Mountable in Windows 
 
Explorer++ https://explorerplusplus.com/ This Is used to see and edit files in EFI folder 

Lets you see and mount EFI partition in Mac (there are other options) 

Clover_v2.3k_r3423.pkg (this seems to be the one of the only version that works with the Surface Pro 3 installing a more recent version will cause it not boot Mac OS X although there are a few versions that do still work.

(although depending on which config you set you may not have graphics acceleration or sound. There is a fully working config file the only way to know which one it is, is very simple; it will be only only config file that in finder the preview has no text just a blank file but if you edit it in any way in a new version of Clover Configurator it will give an error when saving and will not work if it does save.)

If you do not own a Mac in anyway you can still install it but you will need to use VirtualBox and find or make a working version of Mac OS X so that you can create the usb installer using Unibeast 6.0.2. If for some reason you already have clover installed in your efi for some odd reason then you can skip this step and create the installer in windows and you should be able to boot the installer from clover and continue that

How To Fix “Cannot Find 640x480 Resolution For GTA 3D Titles

How To Fix “Cannot Find 640x480 Resolution For GTA 3D Titles“

YouTube Video Link: View Coming soon!

Download Link: Download

Device Used In Tutorial is GPD Win 3 Which Has This Issue out of the box 

I Include Three Fixes To This Issue One Is with Different settings files in document, one fix makes use of a widescreen fix, and one requires physically plugging in an external display that supports the resolution these games are asking for.

The issue at hand is the default first run settings for these games are asking for a resolution that your current display, whether built-in or external, cannot switch into or is unavailable. This presents two issues; you can’t change display setting because the game won’t run for you to change it, if you never got the game running on your system then it never creates user preferences located in “USERNAME\Documents\” to be manually changed 

Upon launching the game; the game will look for user preferences in the documents folder. If it is not there then it will run with default settings that were programmed into the game. 

The good news is, once you get the games to actually run; aslong as you don’t delete files in “\USERNAME\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files” use should never have a problem with the games not running again granted you aren’t doing any kind of modding or something 

The widescreen fix will work for GTA III, and GTA Vice City but it’s 50/50 on some displays or setups; if it will work with GTA San Andreas. 

Files Required Are 

https://www.mediafire.com/file/37em4umwxgd9xio/GTA_3D_Fix_-_JTR.zip/file 720x1280


They include widescreen fixes for each game and user preferences for each game. They are now looking for resolutions of 720x1280 please back up your Game saves so they are not overwritten by my files you can transfer the whole folder if you’d like but the file you’re looking is “gta3.set” or .set as a file extension 


If you would like a different resolution please comment below and I will include another link I wasn’t sure what to use as the more common resolutions GTA’s already asking for and if you here then your display doesn’t support it

How To Play Call Of Duty Black Ops II Offline - With Origins Map

​How To Play Call Of Duty Black Ops II Offline - With Origins Map

YouTube Video Link: View

Call Of Duty Black Ops II Fix: Download

If you would like to play Call Of Duty Black Ops II Zombies for PC Offline Without internet connection then you will need the files below 

Whether you wanna play local or online you need an internet connection to actually start playing beyond the start menu. I’m not sure why this is the case as on PS3 you don’t need such connection and you could even play with your friends, locally,  of course. 

Previous patches worked to let you play offline, and let you play DLC Even though you weren’t entitled to them on Steam. However, whether or not you bought the DLC or just found it online; you can’t play with the Origins Map if you were using the offline patch. AFAIK I have the only fix to it as I compiled the files myself and couldn’t find them anywhere else online. This patch is still using redacted patch some may be familiar with

Quick Update: Sorry For Taking So long To Upload Another Video

​If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, I greatly appreciate the support. I make these videos in my free time and although I would like to be; I am not yet monetized so donations are encouraged


Over the past few months I have suffered from a number of issues in my personal life that have been preventing me from devoting valuable time and resources into the channel. Over the next weeks I will be uploading a number of videos and responding to as many comments as I possibly can. I am thinking of starting a secondary YouTube channel that will be comprised mostly of clips and short videos that to me just didn’t make the cut. I would like to think of my YouTube channel as a knowledge based channel and I feel that by not releasing such videos, because I can’t find a proper way to present them; does not help my community who simply would just like the information. A number of posts on this blog will be added and edited. 

You may see posts referring to a video that is not yet posted on the YouTube channel, please try to have some patience because I really just want to get the information out there whether video or text form. Keep in mind that if a post does refer to a video it will eventually be uploaded and updated as needed

The wait is almost over. Please subscribe and thank you for the love and support over the years
