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

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

Hello, friends! Everything works fine on my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E220s except HDMI audio and sleep/hibernation. Analog audio works fine with VoodooHDA, but HDMI audio is silent (HDMI video is OK). Sleep mode turns off the screen but CPU fan goes on and on with hot air. Hibernation (if mode is 25) turns off my laptop but makes impossible to boot, in this case the laptop boots only with "Cancel hibernation wake" in Clover menu. Please, help me with these problems. Is it possible to fix LAN, WIFI, card reader and battery indicator without additional kexts, with DSDT only? Thank you. Send me Michael’s MacBook Pro.zip
