@newmediacrew ask khronokernel: https://twitter.com/khronokernel/status/1428407216931999749 it's possible to override the list of supported Macs, but you'd need to disable SIP and find a way to inject code into the Universal Control app somehow

@zhuowei this looks pretty difficult even for an full stack developer as myself... I'll wait a bit. Thank you for the information though.

@newmediacrew a different (likely easier) option is using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to enable it. The thing that does the job in the patcher is in acidanthera/FeatureUnlock and also provided by khronokernel. Also it doesn't require disabling SIP first I think. And here is a tutorial to make it even easier.
