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!

So, I recently updated my Hackintosh laptop, after that, Wifi stopped working. I installed AirportItlwm.kext for macOS 14.4, which I found at GitHub: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases

It crashed my laptop every time at login screen. I reverted the changes, because I needed to work with the laptop. Does anyone have a working kext? I would be really thankful, if I could get it. Thanks!

Device: ThinkPad X390 Yoga

CPU codename: WhiskeyLake (i5-8365U)

Hi, use this : https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases/tag/v2.3.0-alpha, 220 doesn't work for 14.4, 14.5. For me sonoma 14.5 work very well, with 220 sonoma 14.5 autorestart.
