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.

após actualização para mojave, houve algum problema com o sleep?

faço sleep, dá a sensação que funciona, pois desliga normalmente como se estive-se a funcionar. Quando faço o wake up, liga o computador do 0, a iniciar a bios novamente.

algum patch novo?

MaLd0n · September 25, 2018

eu não tive problema nenhum, até pq já vinha testando desde o primeiro beta

eu não tive problema nenhum, até pq já vinha testando desde o primeiro beta

tinha o darkwake no clover como "darkwake", mudei para darkwake=0 e ficou a funcionar... estranho?

EDIT:

nas definições, em Energy Saver, se activar o power nap voltou a ter sleep/wake... aconteceu que não queria ter essa opção activa, alguma dica?

Hi Daniel!

Just did my first try on Hackintosh... and I got stuck

I guess now I do need your help, sorry for that. Sending you the RunMe file Send me FDIs-MacBook-Air.zip

HP ProBook 650 G1, last Bios, i7-4712MQ/HM87, HD 4600, 1980x1080, SSD 1TB Evo Samsung, WiFi Azurewave AW-CB160H BCM94360HMB not yet installed.

Obrigado, abraço

MaLd0n · September 26, 2018

and I got stuck

Pumba · September 26, 2018

The problem is that, on the video help (Mojave) one should copy MaLd0nSERIE10.20.30.txt to add to the compile app (I guess).

I cannot find this file anywhere

Up to this point everything went ok, as far as I know...

It should be my mistake, but this is really my first try, so please go easy on me

Obrigado

Hello @Mald0n!

I've been trying to install High Sierra on my mobo but with no luck.

On every try I got a KP and I dont know where to look for these logs.

I already have Sierra working well on it but I know that my DSDT is far from being perfect.

Because of that, I just want to know if you could help me patch my original dsdt cause I see a bunch of warnings floating around my logs and my USB3's aren't working with any external/flash disk at all (it works with peripherals).

Thanks for your support and cheers from Brazil.

My PC Specs:

Dell XPS 8700

i7 4770 3.4GHz

14GB RAM DDR3

NVIDIA GT360 1GB (HDMI AUDIO/VIDEO)

ALC898

Chipset Intel Z87 Express

WiFi + Bluetooth (Atheros AR9485)

LAN Realtek RTL8111/8168

I have no idea now how to do the patch for my system. Should I follow another guide? I'm feeling stupid

Obrigado do outro lado do Atlântico

Hi,

Could you please fix my DSDT?

I'm using Z77x-UD3H + i7 2600k.

I extracted original ACPI time ago, so I attach them along with "Send Me iMac.zip".

Thanks so much!
