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

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 thank you so much for your earlier work with my Kaby Lake hackintosh everything was working smoothly before, but now with your DSDT I feel it has greater stability. I have an HP Probook 4540s hackintosh laptop working a for a couple years now and it has been working great thanks to Rehabman and his patches. I wanted to know if possible if you could make a DSDT for this laptop for improved stability overall? Attached is my SendMe app data.

HP Probook 4540s w/ High Sierra 10.13.4

16 GB of 1600Mhz DDR3 Ram

Intel Core i7 3720-QM@ 2.6 Ghz (Turbo Boost 3.6 Ghz)

drop DSDT first, press O key in Clover boot screen, go to Acpi Patching/DSDT Name and put DSDT02.aml

and remove DSDT.aml in Clover/acpi/patched

Hi, I'm on 10.12.6 and I have many problems with grapichs and powermenagment. I tried many solutions but with no results. I was on 10.13.4 and I downgraded to try if the problems were about last update, but I have same issue now, as I said. Here are the .zip you request and my clover folder without themes. Could you help me, please?
