Trackpad doesn't work

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 need help, I installed SONOMA 14 on a Dell Inspiron 13-5378, everything works except the trackpad, they tell me I have to patch the ACPI... this is where I stop, I honestly don't know how to proceed, I hope to get help and solve my problem.

My notebook is a Dell Inspiron 13-5378 Intel Core i3-7100U CPU@2.40GHz, its processor is from the KABYLAKE-R family.

I can't send the folder, you tell me it's too big

Hi, I need some advice. My Dell Inspiron 13-5378 laptop is running macOS Sonoma 14.3.1, and everything works fine. I'm looking for some advice. Can I update to the Tahoe 26.1 version as suggested in the update panel? Thanks, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Regards
