What's new in macOS Catalina Patcher 1.4.4:
Dosdude Mojave Patcher
10.14.4 adds new changes that ARE NOT patchable by the post-install tool of Mojave Patcher v1.2.3 and older! Before updating to 10.14.4, you you will need to use the latest Mojave Patcher version to create a new installer volume, using the 10.14.4 installer app. Installed Mojave Patcher on two indentical Unibody Macbooks (Macbook5,1) with different results. I have two seemingly identical unibody MBs (5,1), one of which I patched over a year ago. This one is working perfectly (big thanks to DosDude1 and everybody else involved). I recently acquired another one and added an SSD and some more RAM.

MacOS High Sierra Patcher, the successor to macOS Sierra Patcher, is an easy-to-use tool that allows anyone to install macOS High Sierra on unsupported Macs.
- Fixed compatibility with Catalina version 10.15.5
macOS Catalina Patcher (formerly macOS Mojave Patcher, macOS High Sierra Patcher and macOS Sierra Patcher) is a small yet powerful tool that can help you create a bootable USB drive that can be used to install macOS Catalina on Mac computers older than mid 2012, basically acting as a macOS Mojave patch for unsupported Macs.
The tool extends the list of compatible hardware to the Mac Pro, iMac and MacBook Pro computers released in early 2008, Aluminum Unibody MacBooks or MacBooks Air manufactured in late 2008, or white MacBooks and Mac Minis produced in early 2009.
Get the macOS Catalina Installer app and make sure you have access to a compatible USB drive
To be able to use the app you must make sure that you have a USB drive that has at least 8 GB available, and that you have the macOS 10.15 Catalina installer app on your Mac.
Note that you can download the macOS image from the Mac App Store application only on a machine that supports Catalina: otherwise, you must find an alternative solution.
For your convenience, macOS Catalina Patcher offers you the possibility to download the image through its interface: just navigate to the Tools menu.
At the same time, you must prepare the USB drive with the help of the built-in Disk Utility application: just format the disk using the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) standard.
Easy to configure patcher tool that can create bootable macOS Catalina USBs
Within the main window, you must simply load the macOS 10.15 image you want to use and select the target USB drive. The app will verify the image to make sure everything is OK, and all you have to do is press the Start Operation button.
You have the option to monitor the process in the macOS Catalina Patcher main window, and the utility lets you know when the task is complete.
Worth mentioning is that after you install the OS by using the macOS Catalina Patcher bootable drive, you must launch the macOS Post Install utility to get access to patches specifically designed for your Mac’s model.
Make a bootable drive that allows you to install Catalina on unsupported Macs
Bottom line, if your Mac has been manufactured before early 2008, chances are that you will not be able to install macOS Catalina on your computer.
All things considered, macOS Catalina Patcher is a small and user-friendly utility designed to help you bypass this limitation if your Mac is not in macOS Catalina's compatibility list, created to be used as an unsupported Mac Mojave patch.

Description:
Apple has finally released macOS 10.14, named Mojave after one of California's three deserts. If your organisation is itching to upgrade Mojave update to multiple Mac devices, the Upload Patch feature lets you perform the deployment efficiently.
System Requirements

- Computer should be running on Mac 10.8 or later versions.
- A minimum of 18.5 GB free space is required on the hard disk.
- A minimum of 2 GB RAM memory is required.
- Mac Pro (mid 2010 and mid 2012 models) must first be updated to macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 before updating to macOS Mojave.

- Click on the macOS Mojave icon and choose to download.
- Find the installation file 'Install macOS Mojave' in Applications folder by navigating to the file path /Applications/
- Compress the installation file using the following command
'tar -zcvf installMojave.tar.gz Install macOS Mojave.app/'

In order to deploy the macOS Mojave patch to Mac devices missing the latest version, it is required to upload the installation file to our patch store using the following steps:
(Note: This option is only available for the build 10.0.282 and above).
- Navigate to Patches > Downloaded patches > upload patches.
- Here you will find a list of patches that have to be downloaded manually. Apply the filter 'Missing patches in the network' and find the 'Upgrade to macOS Mojave' option under 'Patch Description'.
- Select Upload option.
- Navigate to the location of the downloaded patch file in and upload it.
- Now, the patch will be successfully uploaded to the patch store, and will be available for deployment.
Using our Install Patch configuration, you can deploy the Mojave update to all the Mac devices in your network.
