Mojave / Catalina on GA-Z370 HD3 + i7-8700K / FULL DSDT Patch

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.

CLOVER.zip

Thanks for the effort but unfortunately that did not go well at all. Maybe I did something wrong?

All I did was take the Clover folder you gave me and replaced the Clover folder on my system by mounting EFI with clover configurator. After rebooting I just get a stuck machine that doesn't boot and just shows code. the last few lines are about Intelmausiethernetkext.

How do I go forward, or back from here? thanks

use ur clover folder + my dsdt

Twist · August 11, 2018

Not sure how to even boot at this point. USB installer is not recognised in clover. The only way forward i can see is reinstall via recovery. Is there another way?

MaLd0n · August 11, 2018

use boot key ever for usb boot, for load drivers apfs/hfs etc

Do you mean always? I am confused.

I was just about to take my hackintosh apart to remove the SSD to mount in an external enclosure to try and fix whatever happened yesterday and I decided to try booting one more time... and it just worked!!! No idea why it would not boot yesterday and today it would... but I can confirm your USB fix worked... for a moment.

Then I restarted to check if it would work again and now I have the same problem and cannot boot from Hackintosh SSD once more.

Ok so I managed to get back to the start point by removing the SSD and mounting it as external in another mac and returning to the CLOVER folder that I had before.

use ur clover folder + my dsdt

Could you please explain how to do this? Do I copy DSDT.aml from your CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ to my CLOVER/ACPI/patched?

This seemed like the way to go so I tried it. It seems like it fixed onboard audio but USB 3 still not working.

post new SEND_ME with new files

Twist · August 13, 2018

Thanks MaLd0n - got it working with your EFI folder in the end. I lost onboard audio, but it was worth it to get USB 3.0!!
