Black screen Sonoma, Monterey run fine.

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, I managed to install Sonoma 14.0 on my old signature desktop and faced a problem related to the rx550 video card, meaning that when the apple appears and wants to enter
the desktop, it remains black. I used the same settings as in Monterey, which burns very well, but in Sonoma it remains black. 
I made a spoof on the video card id 0x67FF1002 with Baffin framebuffer, I repeat in mojave and monterey it works without problems without any patch 
only configuration from Clover, please advise in some way, thank you.

L.E. When uncheck setting for video card Sonoma boot ok, attach config file.

Inject via device properties

Example bellow

<key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key>
                <dict>
                    <key>device-id</key>
                    <data>/2c=</data>
                </dict>
