Hackintosh Guide - Sierra / High Sierra / Mojave / Catalina / BigSur on Serie 100/200/300/400 with Clover Bootloader

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Forget about it, I passed that. Now the problem is when installing MacOS into my hard drive, the instalation freezes near the end. Any ideas?

Thank you

Olarila is a real vanilla hack, here we use only full dsdt patched and put our hack like one mac, for me others ways = non-sense

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that is a NVRAM issue… probably your mobo don't have native nvram.

Put EMUVariableUEFI.efi at Clover UEFI drivers - this will solve many issues.

But with olarila's EFI folder at least countdown will work.

well, I think that this problem is not related at all to nvram, but to solve nvram problem you'll need install also Clover's RC scripts.

Ola! Meu primeiro post aqui. Instalei o Catalina no meu pc e o único problema dele esta com o video... esta com o hz baixo e não consigo mudar. Meu setup e intel 7700k gigabyte gtx1070 e 16gb eram ddr4. Sei que a placa de video eh incompatível mas gostaria de saber se teria como resolver o erro do hz sem ter que mudar pra intel hd graphics pq estou com dificuldades de configurar para a intel. Outra solução que pensei seria voltar para o High Sierra mas aparentemente os links de download não estão funcionando.

se puder ajudar fico agradecido, obrigado!

updated kexts and bootloader? oc quirks last version is not good

jhonwick · April 9, 2020

@MaLd0n Hello,

Could you please help me. I cant figure it out whats exactly happening. I've tried and follow many topics from Olarila and comments but still stuck with the issue that i still cant fix. The issue is my Olarila HS booting successfully but one thing is that i think NVRam is not working this time as my opened program remove from dock when i reboot. I mean not getting back the stats after reboot. Also i need to force reboot two times using powerbutton to get to the desktop, the first time its stuck middle of the boot. Its random. Sometimes its boot successfully in one attempt.

Here is http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=02942576455798961576

Please take a look.

Regards
