Triple Boot Mavericks, Ventura, Windows 10 - H270/i7 7700k/GTX 1050Ti

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.

Hi everybody! so i've been working with this assembly for 5-6 years now and it was great, dualbooting Sierra & Windows 10.
Now I need to change a bit, upgrade to a late version but still have the chance to go to some legacy software on Mavericks. And have my Windows partition, also.

Sounds a bit unachievable...I started by downloading the EFI folder for my CPU (KabyLake) and creating 2 USB sticks (Olarilla images for Maverick and Ventura). So far couldn't make it into almost nothing. Hope you can make it work for me.

1) MAVERICK: just can't boot the installer. As soon as I click on the icon in the opencore selection, error message be like "This version of MacOSX can't be installed on this computer". I tried editing the mac model (SMBIOS iMac 18.1/18.3), generating other serials, ... nothing changed.

2) VENTURA: macOS installer booted correctly, formatted SSD, when i click on "install Ventura", error message be like "macOS Ventura can't be installed because is damaged" or something like that.

From where do you suggest to start?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
