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.

With this new CLOVER folder, macOS doesn't boot anymore. I managed to take a picture of the screen with my phone:

uncheck drop OEM

sagerian · July 9, 2018

I unckecked "Drom OEM" in Clover Configurator, exported the configuration and it's getting better:

Audio: works

LAN: works

PS2 keyboard: does not work. But strangely enough, pressing a key while computer is sleeping, wakes it up

Sleep: works, the video card, the fans, the PSU, all seem to stop

Wake up from sleep: does not work. The video card does not wake up the monitor, a red LED is blinking on the motherboard. When the computer is running normally, that LED is off.

Excuse me Mald0n, I want to share my problem.

After I updated to 10.13.6, the brightness control couldn't work anymore. I also notice it took longer to boot than before (error/failed showed in verbose mode). And also the usb 3.0 port show needs power. Could you help me, please? I attach files from RunMe.app in Mega https://mega.nz/#!lgtWGawQ!17haa70nGPXUAjyUC-WZ4yOHFxEPg6cWjVpgTPq0pjY

Thank you

Edited:

When I turned on my laptop this afternoon, the brightness now works. The usb 3.0 port seems working either.

Oi!

Instalei o High Sierra de vocês e consegui fazer algumas coisas funcionarem, mas acho que fiz uma bagunça e falta muita coisa ainda. Tem como você dar uma ajuda, por favor?
