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.

Use boot key and install clover in HDD/SSD

Mald0n,

First thing first, thank you for your raw image of High Sierra 10.13.5 that make it possible for me to install it on my laptop. Next is the thing that I'm not very good at. Could you please help me configure my DSDT and SSDT and also my config.plist? I use config3.plist to boot up, it's the original config.plist that I downloaded from above with adding some extra kexts and and kernel patches in config3.plist. I included an attachment of the output of RunMe.app that is needed to do this things. Thanks in advance

Thank you for the help. I have tested it and found some good and bad news. The audio and mic are working normally. But the brightness, fn keys, usb2.0 ports, camera and bluetooth are not detected. Sleep and Shutdown also haven't work correctly either. Every time I shutdown, the screen goes blank but the HDD light indicator is still turned on and the fan is still spinning. That's what I found so far

Sorry for the late reply. The time gap between Brazil and my place is quite different. Here is the new dump.

I'm now sure if this was the new dump, because I try the clover you sent me earlier in a flashdrive, I didn't put it in the internal hdd. So I generate a new one. But I'll try the DSDT you just sent e a few minutes ago first.

DSDT.aml.zip

Okay, I will try this one right now

fauzan814 · June 11, 2018

DSDT.aml.zip

Wow, I'm really amazed. Thank you so much. Most of my problems are solved thanks to you but I still have a little problem:

QE/CI: OK

Audio: OK

Mic: OK

Brightness: OK

Usb 2.0 ports: OK

Usb 3.0 port: OK

Camera: OK

Bluetooth: OK

Wifi: OK

Sleep: Not Yet

fn keys: Not Yet

Trackpad: No trackpad found in prefpane

Shutdown: Can't shutdown normally yet

Sleep: Not Yet

fn keys: Not Yet

Trackpad: No trackpad found in prefpane

Shutdown: Not tested because I'm writing this reply.

what happens with sleep?

fn keys, u need debug and check what patch u need

trackpad, is a kext, just check what trackpad u have

fauzan814 · June 11, 2018

what happens with sleep?

It didn't sleep like it used to. In the previous hack, it was able to sleep like the display dim slowly and then the fan stop and hdd indicator turned off

My laptop also couldn't shutdown properly. Just like the previous hack.

fn keys, u need debug and check what patch u need

Okay, I will do so

trackpad, is a kext, just check what trackpad u have

Thank you, I will look for the right kext for this problem

Thank you. The only thing I changed was the ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext to solve the blank prefpane, it is not solved yet, but I'm still trying. Here is the new dump:
