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.

Hi guys, I am new in this forum and this is my first time with Olarila method...

I am trying to install Yosemite on my laptop. I have downloaded the .raw from https://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6490 and I have burned the .raw in my usb pen by terminal.

I start the installation by Clover. After the terminal, I reach the screen for choosing the language. I choose my lenguage for the installation and the screen says:

OS X could not be installed on your computer

OS X Yosemite is already installed on this Mac.

Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.

My specs are:

Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz

Video: Intel Corporation Mobile 965GM Integrated Graphics Controller

Hard Disk: ATA TOSHIBA MK2546GS

Motherboard: LV2 (Fujitsu Siemens)

Thank you in advance
