Hackintosh on macOS 15 Sequoia

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.

consegui instalar no meu hardware ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4, i5 12400F, 32gb ram... mas está estranho e cheio de bugs. Não desliga, ao mandar desligar reinicia. Não reconhece discos ou pen's externas. Não funciona bluetooth nem wifi, wifi oir ser da Fenvi sei que não funciona. E o iniciar é pouco estável e muito demorado. junto envio a minha Efi se puderem dar uma ajuda. Obrigado.

Boas Pessoal.

Consegui instalar o Sequoia, mas não consigo que ele desligue, anes ao mandar desligar ele reiniciava, entretanto qual algumas mexidas na EFI, mando desligar e ele não faz nada. Alguma ideia do que pode estar impedindo de desligar? alguma Kext? alguma boot-args?

Se pudessem ajudar agradecia.

Outro erro que me chateia é que tenho 2 discos 1 com o sonoma e outro com o sequoia, 2 ssd's M2, e cada vez que inicio num ou noutro está sempre a pedir as credenciais da conta apple e a pedir a sincronização com a Icould. alguma ideia da razão para isto? eu alterei com a GSMbios o nº de serie o sequoia está como Imac retina 5k de 2020 e com um nº de serie e o sonoma como macpro 1.1 de 2017 com outro nº de serie.

Obrigado. Cumprimentos

Hello Guys!

I have downloaded twice both Mediafire and Torrent Olarila Sequoia images but can't create the USB boot drive (I using a 32GB USB Flashdrive) as usual in Balena Etcher.

Balena Etche reports an error while validating the image, about a compressed file to check the source.

Tried to boot that image and really confirmed the installer can't proceed due to invalid files.

Has anyone experienced that too?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I have a Hackintosh running Sonoma perfectly.

But when I tried to upgrade it to Sequoia using the updater in General/Software Updates, during the reboot of the update, it stocks at this point !

Do you have any clue ?

MaLd0n · September 17, 2024

Update kexts and bootloader then go!
