Hackintosh Guide with Clover Bootloader on Serie 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

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.

Estive a aprofundar melhor, e já consegui dar boot com o OpenCore, tive de criar o ficheiro config.plist de raiz.

Muito obrigado.

Já substitui o ficheiro. É preciso correr novo runme?

Quanto ao ficheiro config.plist estava com as configurações correctas?

Obrigado.

Yea, but it was doing it before.

i added images to iCloud on my computer and they never made it to my phone.

just an iCloud issue I think, but I can’t sign out ?

messages seem to update on the hack when it wants to.

Obrigado.

Já alguma vez te aconteceu a placa gráfica prender a memória na frequência máxima?

Às vezes fica presa nos 800MHZ, e por mais que feche todas as APPS, etc, só volta ao normal reiniciando o mac.

Agora que fiz uma série de mudanças ao mesmo tempo, não sei do que será, ou seja, actualização de 10.15.3 para 10.15.4, de Clover para OC, de só GPU, para GPU + IGPU.

Antes nunca me tinha apercebido deste problema.

Já voltei a desligar a IGPU para teste, mas acontece à mesma.

Noto em especial, quando uso Youtube no Safari, assim que muda automaticamente de vídeo, fica imediatamente a 800MHZ e não sai, só reiniciando.

Julgo ter descoberto.

Estava a usar a flag shikigva=128, o que me dava acesso a ter descodificação por HW para H264 e H265 no VideoProc, mas fico com esse problema, sempre que visualizo um vídeo, a memória prende no máximo, e só volta a baixar aos 500MHZ quando volto a visualizar outro vídeo.

É esta situação normal? Também acontece consigo?

Agora experimentei usar shikigva=16, mas perdi o H265, fica só H264 através do IGPU, mas o problema da memória prender ao máximo de MHZ já não acontece.

Qual o shikigva correcto?

1- vc pode usar com a intelhd ativada(intel quick sync)

2- pode usar iMacPro1,1 smbios ou MacPro7,1 smbios, os dois tem hw nativo

3- vc pode usar o smbios correto com a flag shikigva=128 ou 144 com gpus amd sem a intelhd ativada

Obrigado, vou experimentar ambas as soluções a ver qual funciona melhor para mim.

Só mais uma questão, ao usar uma Smbios diferente como iMacPro1,1 ou MacPro 7,1 necessito de usar kext CPUFriend? Ou o PM irá funcionar correctamente no meu CPU?

Hi @MaLd0n,

Please would you mind helping me get a setup files for Catalina?

For SMBIOS should I go with "Macmini6,2" or "iMac13,1"? I also want to know if the sound will work?
Please, let me know.

Thank you!

Já testei as várias smbios, sendo que a smbios do iMacPro 1,1 é a que melhores resultados me oferece.

O único senão, continua a ser o mesmo, sempre que abro um vídeo no youtube/finder e o fecho, a memória prende a 800mhz.

Alguém com VEGA e iMacPro1,1 por aí que me possa dizer se lhe acontece o mesmo?
