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.

For everyone with the same hardware, I also attach config.plist:

config.plist.zip 6.6 kB · 4 downloads

Who has successfully used my file, send me your hardware configuration in PM, please!

(CPU, MB, video, RAM, macOS version, Clover/OpenCore)

Thanks.

Hi MaLd0n,

I hope you are ok.

I got BCM94360CS2 WiFi BT card from AliExpress and adapter for my MiniPC.

WiFi works well, but Bluetooth does not start in any way. MiniPC does not see it.

Please advise. ☺️

Thanks in advance.

I added them via Kext-Droplet-Big-Sur
(https://github.com/chris1111/Kext-Droplet-Big-Sur),
but bluetooth still doesn't work. ((
Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
