Installing Mojave on old Samsung laptop

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.

Hello! This is my first post here, so I apologize in advance if I made any mistakes while posting this.

I have a kinda old Samsung laptop - an RV415 (officially NP-RV415-AD1BR) and I need to install Mojave on it to do some Mac-only stuff.

These are the current specs:

CPU/GPU: AMD E-350 w/ Radeon HD 6310 Integrated Graphics
RAM: 8GB
Disk: 256GB SATA SSD
Wifi: Atheros (?) (note: internet connection is not required in my usecase).

I did some hackintosh stuff using OpenCore on Intel-based hardware, but I don't have the slightest idea on how to start working with AMD, specially with older hackintosh procedures (like Clover, for example).

Can someone help me on how to hackintosh this thing? Any ideas on which image to download, kexts to apply would be appreciated. I really don't have the slightest idea on how to start with this and I searched a lot. A lot.

Thanks and have a wonderful new year!

I think no support for this.
