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.

Maldon I apologize for that. I solved the problem. The source of the problem is AdGuard. When I close the program, there's nothing wrong with the safari.

If you admit, you will have a few responsibilities.

What edits did you make to the DSDT.aml file you sent to me?

Can other adjustments be made?

For the first time in a year, I started using the computer more properly with the configuration you sent.

And now I want to concentrate on my work. Living a problem with a computer.

I want it to be complete and all my programs work without problems.

Logic Pro X - FCPX - Adobe Apps.

These are very important to me.

Now I'm sending you the latest Clover folder I used.

I chose PlugInType, but the Intel Power Gadget always shows the processor frequency high.

I have to choose the sound card I use every time I restart. It automatically switches to Digital Out.

CPU frequency is always high I guess it does not work right.

If you do not have a problem, I'll start working. because i was so tired

Hi,

Me again, i can not use Front USB 3.0 ports.

u connect it in mobo?

Musical · May 16, 2018

u connect it in mobo?

Oh my God. I'm really distracted. I took it out. I am sorry about that.

And I'm curious, too.

How can I tell if NVRAM is working properly?

NVIDIA drivers are required to run NVRAM.

The graphics are slowing down, reacting late.

For example: There is a delay in closing a tab in Safari.

Good Morning, finally back home from work... So have download zipped folder RunMe.app.zip

and copy into an usb stick. Than started the notebook on which is running W7 and tryed to see any executable file on your zipped folder.

Please excuse but can't do anything there's nothing available to run on windows or in that way.

Please, i do believe i should use different way of use it. Could you better explain me about?

Thank you

Than started the notebook on which is running W7 and tryed to see any executable file on your zipped folder.

The app "RunMe" it's only for macOS.

Olarillos · May 19, 2018

Ok, I asked from beginning, if someone can light up my mind on how proceed to install macOS into my clevo machine. It's about 3 months already that I'm searching around but still didn't found how get this job done. A friend on an hackintosh group advised me to join this blog... so I'm here .

I would really appreciate your teaching about

If I understand correctly, should follow these steps:

1)Download image of sierra

2)burn it and install on my hdd

3)run your RunMe-app and send you the results

Is it that right ?

Good Morning Sir,

just a practice question: have downloaded raw image of High Sierra. My understanding is that that's an image and not an installation disk that will start installing mac OS once starting up my pc. Do I'm wrong?

If so, I do have to use W32 image to create an installation USB stick and than install from there ?

Than after installed should I use your RunMe.app?

Thank you and please excuse me for some other questions will arise

artur-pt · May 20, 2018

hello

good luck
