macOS Sierra 10.12.6 bootable USB for Intel PCs

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.

It's KernelPm not KernelCpu

You can enable it in the options menu.

Wonderful installer yet again created by the spectacular devs here. One issue that seems to trouble me is this : specs are i3 2100 h61m-vs 8gig ram and 9800 gt. Upon installation in which I use nv_disable=1 to achieve I simply can't find a way to make my vga function in fullhd qe/ci. Is the 9800gt relegated in new macOS or I'm I not doing something right.

Check if your BIOS has Execute Disable Bit (NX bit, XD bit) and enable it.

Try another SMBIOS or edit /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist and add your Board-ID under ConfigMap with "none" config.

Hi Pernacabeluda.

I have finally managed the installation of OS X, no problems with the EFI partition, running audio (Realtek 887), internet working. What remains pending, (I'll wait for a solution), it is the activation of the QE / CI graphics card. For today, just boot with nv_disable = 1.

Thanks to your advice.

i successfully installed it, got everything working except wifi. can you help me find the kext??

Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 + Bluetooth 4.0 (bluetooth is working)

Did that and still have a kp at NVDASTARTUP.kext

pernacabeluda · September 30, 2016

I think it's not supported. There's a kext in development but it's not usable yet

pernacabeluda · October 2, 2016

Disable UEFI boot in BIOS (use legacy boot) and enable NX bit.

Enable KernelPm in Clover options.

afzalx · October 2, 2016

still stuck on two lines screen. I have enable in bois security enable execute option but same on my dell inspiron I have burn my files from torrent link

pernacabeluda · October 3, 2016

Those two lines only show in UEFI boot, so you aren't using legacy as advised.

afzalx · October 3, 2016

i have use legacy but there no option to boot mac os or clover .only option to boot win 10.

in efi boot,in clover in option i have enable patch pm kenal now it is run and after some line boot nowmy system is stuck on apple usb legacy root. pleae tell me which option i have to select and what is select in spacebar option . i have try with all option select still stuck over there
