Hackintosh Guide - Sierra / High Sierra / Mojave / Catalina on Sky/Kaby/CoffeeLake Notebooks with Clover Bootloader

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

plugin type?

ElPingU · October 13, 2018

Mald0n,

I do not understand your question ..... if you refer "plugin type" to what patch i'm using in order to inject the patches to the audio device ... let me tell you .....

I was under the impression that DSDT files will patch all your system devices ..... jejejeje I can see is not like that !!! I added your DSDT file on my Clover/patches folder and stil no audio .... Then I went ahead and download the latest version of AppleALC.Kexts and placed on the kexts folder (other) and edit plist on clover folder using ID 12 - 7 - 3 - and so on ... still no luck !!!

So far that's what I was doing ...

Any advice on that ???

Thanks

ElPingU · October 14, 2018

Mald0n,

I reinstall Everything from scratch again and now ....

1) After Clover installation and addition of your DSDT file system hangs on rebooting "apfs_vfsop_unmount:1941: all done. going home. (numMountedAPFSVolumes 0)

done

perhaps i have to add this on a different place, not here.

The main reason that I reinstalled everything was cause I was having warnings on the DSDT recompile file, once i made the changes on the layout-id and trying to recompile a lots of warnings coming out not making possible the id change ......

Thanks

warning is nothing, just ignore

Help please bro! Write now you are my guru on this.

After a week trying config.plist of everyone i found, y tried your Image and i could install mac out of the box. Your rock!

But... i couldn't get throught the rest of this guide cuz i don't know how exactly i could change and fix the audio, bluetooth, touchpad, etc.

I read the guide so many times but i dont get it (sorry if i'm stupid).

**** Now i can't boot mac, it reebots **** it says automatic reebot for kernel panic.

PLEASE HELP!!! I REALLY NEED IT

manoloman · October 20, 2018

I think the problem arise when I copied a file from Windows 10 to a partition that I can see from Mac.

Check a screen shoot of the kernel panic.

MaLd0n · October 20, 2018
