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.

I want to install macOS High Sierra on my HP 202 G1 MT but stuck on "Please Switch to XPC or bootstrap_check_In (): com.apple.bsd.dirhelper'

I created the USB Installer with the following command and then put Opencore bootloader on EFI partition of that USB installer

Sure, I missed something that made that stuck. Anyone can do me a favor? Thanks

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

HP 202 G1 MT: Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz | Intel HD 2000 | HP 2B19 Sandy Bridge

the problem is igpu. for now use -igfxvesa

I stopped High Sierra and now I am trying to install Olarila Sierra. But it still fails to get the installation menu, even though with config2.

I attached the error screenshot

Error 10.12.zip

MaLd0n · October 14, 2021

use -igfxvesa

kikuk · October 20, 2021

Thanks,

Config2 contains -igfxvesa and -wegnoegpu. I have tried to use both but still halt at the same error.

Any idea?
