The Clover EFI Bootloader version 5165 has been released and is designed to facilitate the booting of operating systems such as OS X, Windows, and Linux on both Mac and PC platforms, utilizing either UEFI or BIOS firmware. This versatile bootloader supports booting in both UEFI and legacy modes, offering users the flexibility to choose from various firmware options.
Key features of Clover EFI Bootloader include:
- Direct booting using UEFI firmware or CloverEFI UEFI firmware emulation.
- A customizable graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to modify themes, icons, fonts, background images, animations, and mouse pointers.
- Access to a theme database and manager, enabling further customization through community-contributed themes.
- Support for native screen resolution in the GUI, with options to adjust the resolution using Page Up and Page Down keys.
- Multilingual help accessible via the F1 key, and various functionalities available through different function keys (e.g., F2 for saving logs, F4 for ACPI tables, F5 for testing DSDT patching, etc.).
- The ability to create custom boot entries for personalized experiences and support for additional operating systems.
- A feature to boot the previously selected entry after a default timeout and a scrolling boot entries menu for low screen resolutions.
Additionally, users can create Clover boot entries in NVRAM and launch an EFI command shell from the GUI. The bootloader also includes helpful links for users on how to reset BIOS settings, check BIOS versions, and troubleshoot common boot issues.
As technology continues to evolve, the Clover EFI Bootloader is likely to receive further updates that enhance its capabilities, improve user experience, and integrate support for newer operating systems and hardware configurations. This makes it a valuable tool for users seeking to optimize their multi-boot setups and customize their computing environments
