Ryzen 3 220G APU EFI help

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 again! I don't have AMD GPU anymore, I'm with Nvidia unsuported GPU even with patches, so I want to try again and use my Ryzen APU iGPU. I have desktop PC with Asrock A320m pro4 motherboard and Ryzen 3 2200G APU. I created USB installer, create EFI with patch for my CPU, but It can't boot into it. I select installer in OpenCore menu, starts booting for 2 seconds in verbose mode and just restarts the system. Can anyone help me what to change in my EFI? Also, I enabled iGPU from BIOS but do I need to remove my Nvidia GPU from the PC when trying to boot?

Edit: after I detach power connector of my Nvidia GPU, I make a little bit of progress - Nootedred is loaded, but it stuck here.
