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.

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.

Hackintosh macOS Big Sur and Monterey with Clover

Carlos Contreras replied to MaLd0n's topic in Big Sur (10.16)

hi, i install Big Sur with clover on "HP Probook 6470b" with i5 3340M and Intel HD4000. I had to use certain kexts to run the keyboard and other things, but the performance is pretty good. The only problem I have, which doesn't allow me to add kexts to S / L / E, is that I can't disable SIP. I have used clover configurator and modified in RT variables, the value of CSRACTIVECONFIG, and with the value 0x3E7 I always get unknown status, I have tried with other values, but none have worked. I have also tried disabling SIP using the USB installer and terminal with the command / Volumes / MacHDD / user / bin / csrutil disable, but after rebooting does not work. So i'm stuck ?
