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.

Thank you so much!

I've just tried it but after verbose, it goes black on both of my screens.

Is there anyway you could modify the Config.plist for me? I have the Dell Precision T7500 with 2x X5650 6-Core 2.66Ghz. I also have a AMD Radeon RX 580 and I would like to run Mojave.

You're a legend MaLd0n! Thank You Very Much! It is very much appreciated!

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, era a kext AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext que entrava em conflito. Deixei apenas a placa de rede intel e já faz sleep normalmente sem qualquer problema.

Obrigado pela ajuda e desculpa

Thank you Maldon! I have installed Mojave 10.14 and it's booting with your Clover folder. In your instructions it says to send my files for a DSDT edit...I have attached my files below. Sometimes when I have a USB 3.0 in the mouse will freeze for several seconds... once I unplug the USB everything goes back to normal.

Also I'm not sure if I did all the correct Clover Bootloader options or if I choose the right SMBIOS or if I need a SSDT. Can you check my files to see if everything is correct? THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! I will gladly PayPal you for the help!

Thanks again Maldon! I added the DSDT and USB keyboard is working. With the USB 3.0 in the computer sometimes the mouse does get jerky and will freeze for a little bit... pulling out the USB 3.0 the mouse goes back to normal. Only other thing is it won't wake from sleep. I attached my RunMe files below.

OK, with that DSDT it does wake with the power button but not usb. The mouse still seems to freeze with a USB 3.0 stick in the machine and once I take the USB out the mouse goes back to normal.
