Hardware not supporting acceleration

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 recently bought an esprimo P420 from fujitsu upgrading it to a i5-4670, 8gb of ram and a Samsung 850 Pro SSD. I used first the macOs Sonoma image, flashed on a usb and copy-pasted the new efi (4th generation Haswell). The installer went right and installed the macOs version. At first i saw that acceleration is not enabled so i used Opencore Legacy Patcher to fix the iGPU issues but at reboot the console said that the hardware could't support acceleration leaving the pc and the loading still until sleep mode. Same story for the latest versions of Ventura. I also tried to mount the efi in the ssd and pasted inside the efi but without usb i can't still boot.

Thank you in advance for the help

Avoid these patchers is my oppinion. Use last native system for ur hardware. I think is monterey.

i found this video on yt where this guy install ventura on the same hardware using Open Core Legacy Patcher. I tried this method but I have the same problem.

but why when i patch with OCLP says that my hardware is not supported... i've done the same things in the video. If you can help me i could retry this method in alternative i'll install monterey. but i would like tp have the lates macOS possible.
