  1. Hi Rhyker, nice to hear of such high (above others') ethical and moral standards ;-) Congratulations. "Pertaining" your (OWN - ?!? … => double morale?) Hackintosh problems: I've had the best support results from googling, thinking and DIY/M (myself). So, my problem was solved by reverting to Voodoo's predecessor ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext. It seems that Voodoo's info.plist contains an item "HPQOEM" with some hp-probook-specific values that simply don't match and won't work with my EliteBook-2570p – but, I suspect, keep it from using "Default" settings... bad luck. Re-installing ApplePS2SmartTouchPad made my keyboard accessible by Karabiner Elements again, with these settings: ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext > PlugIns > ApplePS2SKeyboard.kext > info.plist : CFBundleVersion <string> 4.6.5 : v IOKitPersonalities v ApplePS2Keyboard : v Preferences : Make context menu key into key <integer> 16 : ProductID <integer> 65535 Use ISO Layout <boolean> false [for European keyboards: use "true"!] VendorID <integer> 1452 : Now the MENU key is recognised as "scan_previous_track", quite nonsensically, but thus can be twitched to some more meaningful task. [ P.s.: I got it running with VoodooPS2Controller, too, but then the MENU key was chained to being a "context menu" or right mouse button. Arghhhhh !!! ]
  2. Hi, I recently updated my hp-2570p hackintosh to MacOSX High Sierra (legally in my country, as I own an older macMINI that I took the original system from). In the last 2 years it ran beautifully with an i7-3740qm cpu, but with the new OS (10.13.6 instead of 10.11.6) the "context menu key" on its windows keyboard is no longer recognised. I used to put a lot of useful shortcuts on this key, but now there is NO reaction to its pressing – or rather: ONLY when the left fn-key is pressed PREVIOUSLY is it recognised as right_alt / 0xe6 (by Karabiner's event viewer). Anybody had a similar experience or KNOWS how this can be "turned back" ? Maybe some kext-issue (still the old one) ? Thanks … hopefully
  3. @ Tech Inferno Fan: Hi, inspired by your great site I bought an hp-2570p on eBay and hackintoshed it to MacOSX 10.11.6 El-Capitan. I created a thread at tonymacx86 that describes a few facts – then famous "RehabMan" didn't like and mocked my signature so I quit at tonymacx86 ... If you want to you are welcome to add a line in your HP-2570p guide, stating "my El Capitan success". If further on you think there is a demand I'd also post a more detailed description of kexts used and items selected in clover's config.plist, for others who'd like to hackintosh their 2570ps - or even post the (zipped) contents of my EFI/Clover folder.
