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.

UHD 630 goes black during install boot

duszmo posted a topic in Catalina (10.15)

Hi, I'm trying to install macOS Catalina 10.15.7 on my desktop with an iGPU, but during boot the screen goes completely black. I know it's a coming issue, but I couldn't find any solution for it online. I already did some patching with Hackintool, which worked on High Sierra. My specs: i5-8400 (uhd 630) 12GB RAM Gigabyte d3h b360m Link to my EFI Folder: https://we.tl/t-WVlZ4WPQGi
