Patches

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!

I've been using these patches on macOS Sierra until last update without problems (correct Power Management, Sleep mode working, USB configuration OK with only the needed ports) but now I want to update to Mojave (10.14.1); testing on fresh install o can't make sleep work and I trying to make the Intel FB.Patcher method for USB without result. On Sierra I have using a DSDT and some patches on KextsToPatch section, I thinks this patches make USB work (without USBInjectALL.kext) OK and help a sleep mode work fine also. I Share that DSDT and Kexts patchs to see if anyone can help me.

My Specs: Mobo: z77x-ud5h 1.0 (rev14)

CPU: i7 3770k

Using Intel HD4000 (Nvidia 970 connected to Mobo but not to monitor, not in use)

Update: I upgrade directly from Sierra, and now with your DSDT I can boot, this not happen on the test fresh install ; follow from here, I put on KextsToPatch section the Disable default XHC port injectors and Disable default hub port injectors patches, realy don't know it is working but almost the USB works (without use USBInjectALL.kext and previous doing the USB configuration from the link that your share); but the Sleep mode don't works yet, the system go to Sleep (Slooooww until it sleep), but when I want to wake: the black screen again I share my new report from RunMe app Send me iMac-de-Seba.zip

for good Power Management, generate one SSDT with Pike Script

ZeusARG · November 30, 2018

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], make SSDT PM config ok and the put with the DSDT on /Patched folder, the test of PM luck good, but the sleep mode is no working, now the system go to sleep mode (much more quickly that before) but automatically restart the machine on 1 second after.

Edit: on a second test, the Mac go to sleep mode OK, no restart atomically, but when I manually touch a mouse clic, or keyboard the machine restart.
