Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: 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.

Hi,

This the continuation of your help to get rog53SW working. So far everything works, except for shutdown, sleep (through° and lid.

I already send you this file in three pieces. This is just sending the whole in one piece. I do appreciate your help.

Thanks

FYI,

I made a clean install, run with clover that you sent, same result hangs the same place.

I did change InjectKexts to "Detect", I did not see any auto. Hangs again, here is a picure

Hi, ok I will do and let you know, but couple of questions. In your instructions for post install you ask to run disableHibernate command, wouldn't it influence the sleep and lid close etc? Also master-disable command what does it do? And I also notice my USB3 port does not work at all? I guess it is unsupported? What kext should I try, to do what you asked, I need all the ports, but I do not have USB3 port recognized?

Regards

MaLd0n · October 7, 2020

ur usb3 is not intel. need a extra kext to work mXHCD.kext.zip or genericxhci

Hi,

I did create usbports, deleted usbinject. The shutdown and close LID /Sleep is still there. When I select sleep, disk keeps running indefinitely. Also, I have PNLF, the slider works but no changing of the brightness. In the positive side the system does not lag like before. Looking forward to hearing from you.

PS: M USB3 port maps to RP04 as an external device, does not show in Hachintool.

Hi ,

FYI, Archive did not do the neither. On looking at the DSDT, I noticed all _PWR methods from the divices where deleted. Could ypu explain why, I am just curious.

Please enclosed find a my new effort so solve the shutdown, sleep, wake issues. I do appreciate your suggestion and corrections. Also I did pmset, it shows there are issues but, I am lost...

 pmset -g log | grep -e "Sleep.*due to" -e "Wake.*due to"

ps2 kext work?

use ur previous folder with this kext

Bid1 · October 17, 2020

Hi Maldon,

FYI, unfortunately all my effort to get sleep/wake to work correctly even with your help had not succeeded yet. What seems to be the issue are my USB ports although I created a custom made kext, based on your recommendation. I see all four of them in pmset as a cause of the issue. I am wondering if there is a way that I can disable the ports one by one to pin down the real one?

Also for the time being I am going to use another machine (Thinkpad x230) which everything functions till resolve the ROG53SW issue. Saying that I tried to do a hot swap for catelina on the x230, but in the middle of boot it stops the machine. I cannot see the message why, I think it maybe the CPU, my question is is there a limit on installing Catelina on x230. It is a series 7 based machine with HD4000.

Hi,

I figured it out, the problem was I was using a new unformatted SSD. But I have other issues, I open a TP320 topic and post them there.

As always thanks a lot
