Vanilla Hackintosh macOS 13 Ventura with OpenCore bootloader

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.

Hello my friend

I come to ask a question at 100 balls but after having spent 24 and made about fifteen attempts all as unsuccessful as the others

the problem with an installation using a USB key, I arrive on the page where to enter the various parameters and I arrive on the desktop where there I spend between 30 and 45 minutes making adjustments everything is fluid and perfectly normal to other installations of macOS

Then comes the work of transferring my EFI from the key to the SSD

then a restart and 30 seconds after being on the desktop again and there the drama complete freeze no more mouse no more keyboard!!!
followed your recommendations and I don't see what I can do
If you have any advice thank you in advance

Z590 UD AC intel i5 32 RAM SSD for each system
windows 11, monterey 12.4 and monterey 12.5 and my frozen Beta 13 SSD

Before rebooting I have internet sound and wiffi

PS : excuse the length of my request

First time posting here so not sure if this is the right thread, but I managed to start the macOS 13 installer, reset the disk (APFS) and start the installation process. After the first restart (where the "macOS Update Assistant" starts) I get an error "A required firmware update could not be installed". Could someone help me with this, or maybe point me in the right direction? And if so, what information would you need from me to do so.
