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 everyone. I'm new in this topics and I'm trying to do a "Hackintosh" in my PC.

First of all I downloaded Catalina (vanilla) image, I flashed in my pen drive with "Balenaetcher", I changed the configs in my Bios: VT-d disabled, Virtualization disabled, Secure boot disabled.
Reboot and only appears black screen with the title message: Welcome to 5119 Clover *** Scan entries ***
It's stucks there and doesn't go on... Any one can help me?

Thank you so much.

PD: This is my hardware:

Intel Core i7 9750H 2.60GHz 6 cores 12 Threads
Socket 1440FCBGA
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Model: FX505GT
Chipset CoffeLake
PCI Express 3.0
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Graphics: Integrated: Intel UHD Graphics 630
No integrated: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
