A primitive USB patcher for installing macOS Big Sur on unsupported Macs

By the way, if you have a Mac Pro, [Big Mac](https://github.com/StarPlayrX/bigmac) by StarPlayrX is another patcher worth considering. For 2008 Mac Pros (MacPro3,1) in particular, Big Mac is clearly a better option than this patcher (at least for now).

I repeat, do a Time Machine backup *before* upgrading!! Big Sur changes how Time Machine backups are done, and I have heard that it is not possible to use previous versions of macOS to recover data from Big Sur's Time Machine backups. (I have created Time Machine backups with Big Sur, and I have restored them using Big Sur, but I have not yet tried to access Big Sur Time Machine backups using previous macOS releases.)

## Compatibility between different releases of this patcher and different Big Sur beta releases
- v0.4.2-v0.4.3 (this release): Tested with beta 10 (20A5395g). Almost certainly compatible with beta 9 (20A5384c) as well. Compatibility with previous betas is unknown.
- v0.4.2-v0.4.4 (this release): Tested with beta 10 (20A5395g). Almost certainly compatible with beta 9 (20A5384c) as well. Compatibility with previous betas is unknown.
- v0.3.1-v0.4.1: Tested with beta 9 (20A5384c). Should be compatible with all previous betas as well. However, beta 9 fixes so many bugs that I strongly recommend against using any earlier betas.
- v0.3.0: Tested with beta 6 (20A5364e) full installer, and delta updates from beta 6 to beta 8 (20A5374i) or beta 9 (20A5384c). Should also work with beta 1-5. Incompatible with beta 9 full installer.
- v0.2.1: Tested with beta 6 (20A5364e). Should also work with beta 1-5. Incompatible with beta 9 (20A5384c) full installer.

Version 20 of Disk Utility (Beta 10) will not do a GUID Partition Map scheme. I had to resurrect a Version 19 (Beta 9) in order to accomplish the correct partition. It appears that GUID will no longer be supported.

I have not had that problem with Beta 10, but I'll try to do some more testing in the next day or two. (Or I might wait until beta 11 and then test.)

Apple should be supporting GUID Partition Map as long as they support Intel Macs at all. If it doesn't work in beta 10 for some reason, I expect Apple will fix it in beta 11, or at least before GM.

OK, I've tested it now, and in beta 10 you have to choose Show All Devices in Disk Utility before it will let you erase the USB stick with GUID Partition Map.

As long as I make sure to choose "Show All Devices", I am unable to reproduce your issue with Disk Utility version 20 from Big Sur beta 10.

Hi there! Is this working with the new 11.0.1 Big Sur Beta?
