Hackintosh macOS Big Sur and Monterey with Clover

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Olá a todos. Tenho um ultrabook QBEX UX620 i5 3317u 8GB HD4000, no qual o Big Sur beta funcionou perfeitamente até algumas semanas atrás, quando a bios corrompeu e eu tive que trocar por outra. O problema é que essa nova bios não tem o firmware do dispositivo IMEI (Intel Management Engine Interface) instalado, fazendo o big sur funcionar sem aceleração gráfica. O kext HD4000 graphics não carrega. Já tentei todos os patches e ssdt IMEI e nada funciona. Se alguém souber resolver, agradeço.

Worked well from beta 9 to beta 11.0.1, but could only boot from Preboot!

The initial boot is preboot, right? After you install some apps it might becomes your HD name.

When OC did not fix the preboot problem, reinstalling Intel Power Gadget was able to restore the HD name, but Clover did not fix the problem when reinstalling Intel Power Gadget, and after abandoning ocQuirks.efi, only preboot into the Mac, while choosing to The macOS partition will reboot.

Eu estava usando o Catalina e tentei atualizar para o big sur, mas agora qualquer opção de boot fica travada como na imagem. O que posso fazer?

Estou tentando migrar da instalação feita com OC da imagem disponibilizada do site (que tive que adaptar usando a EFI da minha instalação do beta - a do pendrive da imagem não passa da tela cinza do installer) para o Clover porque estou sem som no OC/Big Sur e funciona bem com o Catalina/Clover.

Porém ou eu tenho KP com algo relacionado ao NVME pelo que vejo ou se passa disso, com o número de portas USB.
As duas primeiras imagens são do KP e a outra do problema da USB:

E quando consigo, dá esse erro na USB.

Estou usando a pasta EFI disponibilizada aqui para a serie 100,200,300, 400 do clover

Qualquer ajuda eu fico agradecido.
