DSDT Auto-Patcher (discontinued)

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.

Hi.

Can you make a DSDT for me? Here's my spec:

Mobo : ASUS Maximus IV Extreme

Ram : 8 gb DDR3 (4g+2g+1g+1g) running at 1033 (Yes I know it's slow as hell, I WILL upgrade )

Gfx : Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 460 1g

Thanks!

send me files

Here you go. Thanks in advance! Also I got a few questions and currently I'm running Lion GM:

1) My screen would turn a bit bluish after startup and my usb keyboard/mouse won't work. The cursor is moving but nothing can be selected, the dock won't respond. Even if I use an Apple keyboard/mouse combo it still won't work. After a few minutes (5 or 6) the screen would turn to normal and usb keyboard/mouse will start working.

2) Still can't get ALC889 to work. I've tried all kinds of method but to no avail.

GTX 460 works like a charm in Lion, just by setting GraphicsEnabler to Yes

Thank you! That was super fast!! Will try in a bit and report back

LordRaziel · July 26, 2011

Tried the dsdt and my Hackintosh boots a bit faster now but I'm still stuck with the mouse/keyboard problem and blue screen at login. The only way to make the blue screen disappear is to turn my monitor off and on again. Audio is still not working. Any suggestion? Am I placing the dsdt at the right directory (/Extra)? Thanks a lot for your fast responses

USB do not work?

USB does work but after waiting for 5 minutes Currently my blue screen problem is back. I had to turn my monitor off and on again to make it go away. This problem is the same like when I was using 9600 gt through HDMI. Currently I'm using DVI, so should be no problem. Anyway I applied the patch but audio is still a no go. I'm trying other method now.

Audio

you need a AppleHdapatched + HDEF in DSDT or HdaEnabler

USB

try a clean install

very strange

I tried multishit and currently got my on-board sound to work!Yeay! but I still want to try the steps on the first post. I'll do a clean install and start over maybe an hour from now USB and that bluish screen are still mysteries I need to demystify Maybe I'm missing a few essential Lion kexts? Probably. Anyway thank you so very much for your help! You are a very helpful person. I will donate to this site just to say thank you Maybe I will post back once I've done a clean install. Thank you again for your help.

LordRaziel · July 27, 2011

Just a quick update, I've found the culprit to my bluish screen and USB problem: it's none other than the PHXCD kext (NEC USB 3.0). Removed it and all is well Will dive into other methods to have USB 3.0 without using that next. Suggestions? Thanks.

I did a fresh install and tried the dsdt+applehdapatched+hdef for audio, but still no sound. I can use the multishit way but would like to try dsdt first. Any steps I can use (apart from the first post) to make audio work? Thanks.

Hi MaLd0n,

I was wondering if you can take a look at my (DSDT+Graphics card and sound card information) Extract the package in a configuration

Thanks
