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.

So I requested a modified DSDT patch for my system sometime ago. I have received no response whatsoever. I realize the message is pay up or get nothing. That isn't very ethical nor the norm considering most forums. I would have loved to have donated in the past, I have donated to others and always show appreciation. But the methods like Stripe are not good to do any kind of business with aside from their woke agenda. Paypal has also proven to not be trustworthy along with Zelle and where I bank doesn't have that option. Its been a very difficult thing to do here but nevertheless, help and response should not be withheld here otherwise this is NOT a forum but instead a business.

What I do here regarding ACPI you won't find anywhere else, only here, so I don't have time to respond to requests. And remember, Olarila isn't a team, it's just me.

All is free here but if you want personal support that requires time, it won't be free.. Use our EFI folders.
