Failed hackintosh for i5-4590 with 4600hd graphics

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'm trying to create an hackintosh for my desktop computer possibly monterey but i'm down also to big sur but I'm failing into doing it.The computer recognises the usb and starts the screens of text but it eventually stucks at different points and i don't know what i'm doing wrong :(.

My computer specs are :

i5-4590 cpu

4600hd Graphics

using tp-link usbs for wifi and bluethooth because my motherboard the msi z97 u3 doesn't have built in

Anyone that could help ?

P.S i have also used your images and efi folders but without any success :(/

Any helps are appreciated

i was able to boot .My problem was that opencore was crashing because wasnt recognising correctly the vga cable but after using an hdmi it worked great

My problem now is making working bluethooth and wifi

Because they are relying on 2 usb adapters from tplink but after installing the drtiver they aren't recognised by macos even if other peripherals like usb are ....
