issues installing olarila ventura image

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.

Lenovo 20AN006MUS Is the laptop model.

running intel i7-4600m processor.

Haswell build.

I followed the tutorial videos, using the olarila image and the haswell EFI images/file

I can load it in and hit continue, then it gives me "ventura is not compatible with this mac" error.

tried a few other sets of EFI folders for different gens, no luck.

any pointers? ive been looking for solutions but no luck yet. i do not have the AHCI option in bios for the sata controller. it does not exist in this build i guess. not sure what i can do about that.

so it will not work then, even with the haswell efi or some modification of it? i was hoping there would be some sort of workaround someone has come up with, but if not i suppose it is what it is. i have 3 spare identical lenovos and was hoping to make one compatible with ventura.
