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.

Does anyone have a booting clover EFI 5127+ for HP skylake/520 laptop w/Big Sur.

Does clover's LAPIC fix work for Big Sur or is there a workaround?

Essential to boot Big Sur from preboot?

Is DSDT necessary?

What is correct csr-active-config?

Do kexts have to be added to S/L/E or L/E to run Big Sur SIP enabled in both clover and Open Core?

Clover 5128 works fine for Catalina but almost immediate KP for Big Sur.

Thanks for any pointers/help.

u dont need specific guide. the "mechanism" is same for all

EnriqueV · March 1, 2021

For instance. Clover5131 boots Catalina 10.15.7 without issues, but KPs quickly when boo ting Big Sur, even from Preboot.

However, clover boots a fresh install of Big Sur that is not modified, but once, for instance, I change the login graphic, it KPs when booting.

That same Big Sur boots fine with Open Core, including any changes after fresh install.

Why is that?

This is unexplained.

It logically follows thathere must be some particular modification to the config.plist or other component of clover to cause it to boot Big Sur without errors/panics.

The guide appears to be basic but does not appear to address this issue. That is why I have asked for a working EFI.

Do you have a clover EFI that will boot Big Sur on HP skylake 520/sunrise point 100 laptop?

Working For Me

I have Asus Strix Z390-E i9- 9900-k WX2100

Hi Snake! How can I get working that card? Radeon Pro WX2100 (trough DisplayPort)

I've searching on the web, some people inject ATI with a fake ID 0x67EF1002 on Clover, I've follow the steps but not works.
