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

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.

Thank you for your interest. The second send me files are here. But netflix works on the safari and I also thank you for that.

In System Report, only NVIDIA appears in Graphics / Display, is this normal?

And the processor frequency is always traveling at high limits 4,13 MHz 4,50 MHz etc.

use it

DSDT.aml.zip

yes, it's normal, hardware acceleration work, just check ioreg

back with ur ssdt for power management

Musical · May 14, 2018

You're great,

With the last DSDT file that was submitted, the CPU frequency returned to normal.

You've made me very happy. I do not want to tired you anymore, I want to ask you my last questions, if you can.

Is it ok to use FakeSMC sensor kexts?

Do I need to change the serial number etc. in Config.plist file?

Is there anything I can do for Nightshift?

I hope the same restart and slowdown problems do not appear. In this matter, I will definitely make a positive and negative return in a week.

And I wanted to buy you a beer, but PayPal does not work in Turkey. But I will find a way.

See you...

i don't like fakesmc sensors, but u can use, if have freeze in boot or other problem, remove, i prefer intel power gadget

Nightshift don't work?

Musical · May 14, 2018

Nightshift not work and after the second DSDT file I do not see x86platform or ADGP in IOreg. But the processor frequencies are working more correctly.

u need use ur SSDT + DSDT, i remove plugin type in DSDT, if u dont use it in config.plist or SSDT, PM don't work

put in clover/acpi/patched, reboot

Ok sorry for that. Here is the results.

Is there anything I can do for Nightshift?

Is there anything I can do for Nightshift?

not perfect, but missing some P-STATES, but work, if u can try add Generate P-STATES in config.plist, ACPI tab

Thank you Maldon. NightShiftUnlocker.kext did not work. I activated the Generate P-States tab in Config.plist. Nothing changed.

remove/delete kext and run KextUtility

http://Olarila.com/files/Utils/Kext%20Utility.app.zip

I have tried a lot of configurations but it is not.

I do not understand, I'm having really strange problems. I can not log into icloud via safari. I'm logging in with Chrome, but this time it restarts.

CPU power management may not be working correctly. But I have tried all sorts of things and I can not get the CPU states to work properly.

MaLd0n · May 15, 2018

u remove kext and rebuild caches?

Thank you MaLdOn, will run DSDT edits and will send you the result right?

Which address should I use for ?

Best regards

You're right.

I set up a new system and tried safari did not have a problem.

However, my main system has this problem and many programs are installed. I have cleaned everything using Coctail and OnyX, but it did not improve.

And I also listened to the suggestion and manually deleted the files, but it did not happen again.
