What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

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.

What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

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

What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

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

Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

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

Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

DSDT patch requests

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

Hi you guys! I'm struggling with my Hackintosh. I own a Laptop HP Notebook - 15s-fq0020nl which have: i5 8265U, Intel UHD620, 16 Gb Ram and 250 SSD. Main problem is the trackpad, it is I2C and I can't make it work. I pretty much tried to follow every guide I found but I can't make it work. RunMe gives me error on IOREG Dump so I created an archive with IOREG, my actual Clover folder and the origin DSDT extracted with Clover without any edits. I hope you can help me make it work and let me understand why. Some additional info: - I learnt that trackpad is in: SB.PCI0.I2C1.TPD0 (saw in windows 10). - Architecture should be Whiskey Lake (don't know if it is relevant. I tried your clover folder using SKL+ but it is not working (I suppose it is missing some chipset patches) (Don't know where uploaded so I used fromsmash, hope that's okay) https://fromsmash.com/K~5hBPzgC3-dt Thank you anyway and I hope I made myself clear. P.S: I will donate soon, amazing community.
