After making MAC EFI ROM in the public version of Yeton 7970, there was no Startup menu and black screen. I flash MSI 280X MAC EFI rom, there is a startup menu. However, the frequency of 7970 is 925 mhz, and that of MS 280 is 1020 MHZ. I feels that the video card is overheated. Who can help me to make a YETON 7970 MACEFI rom? Thank you! Attached is the original ROM of YETON 7970.

How you made the Mac EFI ROM?

Any error reported?

From the output of running makerom.sh it looks like it requires elevated permissions. Have you tried to run it with sudo?

Code:
sudo ./makerom.sh

liudeMac-Pro:bundle2 XYZLIU123$ sudo ./makerom.sh --efifile=7970mac.efi --romfile=efiromheader_7970.rom --originalrom=yt7970.rom --devid=6798

Am I mistaken in thinking that a thread marked "Resolved" is no longer a problem?
[doublepost=1555999409][/doublepost]The problem is still there and is not being resolved at this time. Who has a better idea? Help me, thank you。。
