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 guys, I was installing Olarila Catalina, I tried the EFI that they gave me here although it didn't work for me, so I made mine according to the Opencore guide. It worked!! I went into macOS utilities and prepared to install the system, after a long time I realized that I hadn't made any progress, so I saw the log and it was stuck here...

After a few minutes it seems that something started to load and it wouldn't let me click on anything, I decided to turn off my pc.

Does anybody know what is it due to?
My laptop:

Core i5 8265U
8GB RAM DDR4
1TB HDD Toshiba (for macOS)
128GB SSD NVME (i cant install on this, i cant errase)
UHD 620
MX 110 (-wegnoegpu)
RTL 8821ce (dont work)

Is a Asus X509FB, my EFI is this: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vr-q9Psz2NrYNWQC43ZMjqkNTI_kO-FK?usp=sharing
