Instant wakeup (GPRW patch not working)

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 Daniel,

I'd really appreciate your support in the solving of some issues related to instant wake after sleep I've got with my hackintosh.

I've tried many different fixes but to no avail, from USBWAKEFIXUP kext, GPRW patch, USB mapping, etc.

Out of sleep/wake-up issues, everything seems to work pretty well. Attached is SendMe file.

This is my system spec:

*Asus Rog Strix Z490-E Gaming

*Intel i9-10900K

*ThunderboltEX 3-TR card

*PCI-E USB 3.0 Expansion Card (Fresco FL1100)

*128 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro

*NZXT Kraken 360 Elite RGB

* Fenvi T919 BT Card

*SONOMA 14.3.1

*OpeneCore 0.9.9

*SMBIOS: iMac20,2

Should you need any additional information to make your magic, please let me know.

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!

Send me iMac.zip
