Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

DSDT patch requests

fbellic replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Hi everyone, here is my send_me: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=76840234506552448301 Config: i7 4770k z87 LGA1150 Nvidia Gtx 1080 32GB Ram Made a fresh installation of Mojave on a SSD following Olarila guide with USB bootable. Also followed the guide to fix EFI folder with the Olarila.app but the problem is that Mac OS only starts if I boot through the bootable USB, otherwise if I boot directly from SSD with Mojave, it opens up clover, I select boot from SSD and then it gets stuck. Thanks for your help!
