Could you build this?
No Kernel extensions and GPU driver patches for unsupported AMD hardware under macOS require deep knowledge of XNU kernel internals, IOKit, and GPU register specifications.
What it would actually take: Requires writing custom macOS kernel extensions (KEXTs) and patching AMD Metal/graphics driver bundles using OpenCore / Lilu frameworks. Builders must understand low-level GPU hardware architecture, PCI configuration spaces, and proprietary macOS graphics frameworks (Metal/IOAccelerator), which cannot be generated reliably by vibe coding.
