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.

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.

DSDT patch requests

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

Greetings, first-time poster (long-time lurker) here needing help patching my DSDT. I am no novice at Hackintoshing and DSDT editing but am new to AMD and have no clue. I recently upgraded from an aging i7 3770K and Z77X-UD5H to Ryzen 7 3700X with a Aorus X570 Elite and have everything working 100% except sleep. Basically USB and monitors go off, everything stays on (classic). David (aka Bansaku over at Insanelymac, and 99% of the English speaking forums ?) P.S. I took out AppleALC.kext from the zip file to make the file small enough to upload. Send me Davids-iMac-Pro.zip
