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

Im complete new in dsdt patching but i think its the only way to get a full working hackintosh on my Acer 5810tg

My Laptop is based on a ICH9m Chipset and there i can't find kext for mountain lion. So i wanna fake over a dsdt a ICH10 Chipset (I read that this works on mountain lion with Basic kext, am i right?)

So i extracted my DSDT with DSDT Editor and try the patches i found here... but that don't work... ive get the same EHCI and UHCI warnings like everytime... and the kext for the SMBus are not loaded too...

So what i have to do that it work? But please explain it that a noob like understand it

Thx

(Sry for my bad English)

i will i try it now Thank you so much )))

Chaot1986 · December 26, 2012

hmm.... now i get a kernelpanic in CPU0

artur-pt · December 26, 2012

hello

try this one little modification in scope cpu

the position

DSDT.aml.zip

use smbios macbookpro5,1

set p and c-states=yes

use chameleon wizard to set that

good hack

Chaot1986 · December 26, 2012

i made a foto

thx

Hello,

try using current AppleACPIPlatform, you are using 1.3.5 which is Snow Leopard version.

Why are you using pmVersion=0 kernel flag? Are you using SleepEnabler?

Chaot1986 · December 27, 2012

Yes thats the reason why i use the old appleintelACPI...kext i thought it were from 10.8.1.

i read somewhere that sleepenabler works better with the old kext. hmmm okay then i try it with a newer one.

thx

pernacabeluda · December 27, 2012

You don't need SleepEnabler if you have power management working.

Chaot1986 · December 27, 2012

okay then....

im back at first thank you all for your help ))

okay... i have installed the original kext from the install-stick and i deleted the sleepenabler.kext.

After this steps mountain lion boot again. But now voodoobattery dont work .... and sleep dont work too....

i know that i have to use the ssdt to get a working sleep without sleepenabler. But my shitty laptop has 6 ssdt (over AIDA64).... I try it with the script in the post you linked... but then i get a 7 one... i try to merge all 6 together... (and i think it worked - no errors) but sleep will not work...

dsdt/ssdt patching is realy complicated...

artur-pt · December 28, 2012

good hack

pernacabeluda · December 28, 2012

The problem with older AppleACPIPlatform started only after a DSDT patch? What did you change?
