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.

Obrigado pela ajuda. Só agora respondo porque estive fora

Coloquei o seu ficheiro SSDT.aml, corri o Repair.command, mas a partir de certo ponto, não consegui mais introduzir a password quando pedida

Aparentemente só o "ENTER" funciona e, depois deste, 1 ou 2 caracteres...

Não tenho trackpad, a rede por cabo não funciona e só consigo recomeçar o computador através pen Olarila utilizando o EFI.

Que fazer? Formato o disco e recomeço?

Obrigado e desculpa.

Ah, recebe aí uma cerveja de Portugal

user gigaze

Abraço

faz o boot pelo Olarila, remove o dsdt e extrai novamente um SEND_ME

Cá vai.

Já agora, não tenho rede cableada, não reconhece trackpad, não tem som, se ligo a câmara faz flickering e o teclado está muito mal mapeado

Como fazer com que no arranque do computador ele vá ao Clover, para no futuro ter o Windows noutra partição?

Obrigado por tudo. Grande abraço do lado de cá do Atlântico

I was trying again as usual to debug my sleep problem, I was trying with the method that PIKERALPHA suggested.

https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/enabling-acpi-debugging/

I need to ask you about stuff that I really couldn't understand.

when I tried to figure out what the problem, the output of IOService was empty is this normal? is this part of my problem?

is adding the following to my DSDT will help?

Scope (\_SB)
{
   Method (LPS0, 0, NotSerialized)
   {
       Store ("Method \\_SB._LPS0 Called", Debug)
       Return (One)
   }
}
Scope (\_GPE)
{
   Method (LXEN, 0, NotSerialized)
   {
       Store ("Method \\_GPE.LXEN Called", Debug)
       Return (One)
   }
}

My output:

the normal output:

teclado, tenta mudar o tipo de teclado e pra PT

Não sei como ver o trackpad nem o codec de audio. Apenas instalei e coloquei o seu DSDT que agora retirei como me disse.

O teclado seleccionando é o PT, mas o que me aparece é um teclado com menos teclas

Pode dar uma ajuda?

Desculpa mas é mesmo a minha primeira vez.

Obrigado

Isso eu sei, mas as opções mal que entro no Hackintosh depois da instalação não me permitem escolher o respectivo teclado...

Incluo imagens do que me aparece no Painel de Controlo e os layouts de teclados portugueses:

1. o do HP Probbok 650 G1 que tenho;

2. o da Apple com teclado numérico PT como o do HP

3. o da Apple MacBook PT

4. opções do painel de controlo do teclado no Mojave

Refiro que quando faço o boot pela pen Olarila fica correcto. Só estraga quando arranco pelo SSD com o Mojave já instalado.

Já agora só consigo o boot pelo Olarila em baixa resolução. Na opção em que o Clover/Olarila fica em FullHD o sistema fica crashado.

O Codec de audio é o IDT 92HD91.

O trackpad é Synaptics multi-touch.

A rede cableada é Intel I217V PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet.

Leitor de cartões: Alcor Micro Smart Card Reader Driver e/ou Realtek USB and PCIe Media Card Reader

Nada disto está a funcionar

Retirei o DSDT como me disse, mas o resultado é o mesmo com ele lá.

Pode ajudar? Obrigado e um grande abraço deste lado do Atlântico

veja se não é a kext PS2 do Olarila image, usa ela

srut2000 · October 4, 2018

Obrigado!

Hi MaLd0n,

I used the patched DSDT that you created and your clover for series 6/7/8/9 but I cannot boot at all the system with it. Only using the clover from the Orila image. Also, when booting with this clover, the graphics are not working ok, I mean the card is detected ok, but the image is blurred, moving windows are sluggish....

Can you help me with a clover config?

Thank you,

Marius
