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.

@MaLd0n I will be upgrading to a z370 Aorus Gaming 5 board and an 8700K once it arrives tomorrow. I wanted to know if it is possible to make a DSDT for this board. I will send my RunMe results once I have everything up and running tomorrow evening. Thank you in advance for all the amazing work you do.

thank you for your answer

Hi MaLd0n,

Thanks for the great guide and all the information you provide. My Hackintosh is working with ethernet and sound, I think sleep is broken as I had a random restart...

This is what I have done so far by following this guide:

-Installed HS 10.13.4 from Olarila image.

-Installed Clover 2.4 r4458

-MausiEthernet.kext for ethernet (working)

-SATA-RAID-unsupported.kext so I could install to SSD (it was not showing up)

-Sound (working already)

-WebDriver-387.10.10.10.30.106 for GTX1080 (working)

Send me Chriss-iMac.zip

Many thanks

Wow thanks for the quick reply. I'll leave it running now and see if it comes out of sleep ok.

About this Mac > iMac Pro (2017), CPU shows as "3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5" where it should be 8700K, shall I manually edit .string file?

Ta!

8700k only manual edit, not good, some updates broke it, just a cosmetic

So I left the mac on and it went to screensaver, then black screen. Then by itself it rebooted.

Possibly a bios setting?

Thanks you, I will leave it running now and see how it goes.

One last thing, I have too many boot options:

">

Which is best method to remove them?

pernacabeluda · May 22, 2018

Use GUI/Hide

https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/GUI#gui_hide

This should hide most of them

        <key>GUI</key>
       <dict>
               <key>Hide</key>
               <array>
                       <string>Preboot</string>
               </array>

You may also want to hide "Recovery".

May 22, 2018

Use GUI/Hide

https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configura ... I#gui_hide

Thank you pernacabeluda I will try that now, how best to find the correct GUID info?

I tried this but it does not hide the option (copied guid from Clover- space bar):

PS how to make CODE box like you

Hide

Don't need GUID info, type exactly as my code box above.

If you want to hide Recovery too, use

        <key>GUI</key>
       <dict>
               <key>Hide</key>
               <array>
                       <string>Preboot</string>
                       <string>Recovery</string>
               </array>

Code box is the > button.
