The ultimate insane Hackintosh for macOS 26 Tahoe

Darbosa replied to MaLd0n's topic in Tahoe (26)

Same hier - I also have this config, including RX 6900 XT. Could we have EFI folder for this Tahoe Build? I tried everything, but cannot get behind Apple logo with crossed out circle. Already thinking about giving up with the whole Hackintosh and just buying a Mac Mini M4 to save my time and nerves.
