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.

[ref]Najr4d[/ref], Looks good

Najr4d · April 23, 2019

So I leave your EFI and I can work in FCPX? Thank you for your consultation and help

MaLd0n · April 23, 2019

[ref]Najr4d[/ref], with my last clover folder u can, take one shot

Najr4d · April 24, 2019

It seems to be OK. IntelPowerGadget shows the use of iGPU 1200Mhz during FCPX encoding. iStat on the chart does not show, but the numbers are 1.2GHz. Thank you for your help is OK.

I will ask you how is PM managed? I do not have SSDT, and the "Plugin Type" in Clover is turned off. How it's working ?

MaLd0n You are a great man thx.

Hi @MaLdon

When I put this value it doesn't work hardweare Encode.

-Coffeelake(9 Gen)

IntelGFX 0x3E928086

ig-platform-id 0x3E910003

Check InjectIntel

shikigva=60

I run the RunMe, would you c’k this file.

Thank you for advance.

[ref]usapar[/ref], u need enable IntelHDGraphics in bios/uefi setup

usapar · April 29, 2019

Thank you for your comments

It looks like that has accelerated in IORegistryExplorer.

IGPU@2 -> IntelAccelerator

But, VDADecoderChecker is appear error.

AVDCreateGPUAccelerator: Error loading GPU renderer

VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473

My BIOS setting

Peripherals -> Initial display output -> PCIe 1 Slot

Chipset - > Internal Graphics -> Enabled

DVMT Pre-Allocated -> 64M

DVMT Total Gfx Mem -> 256M

Not find in the other in BIOS.

Do you have any ?

Thank you,

MaLd0n · April 29, 2019

[ref]usapar[/ref], just change it

Chipset - > Internal Graphics -> Enabled

and use it

nothing more

I made careless mistake at copy paste.

It's a hyphen in front of shikigva

I was overlooking that.

Thank you so much,

Hello @MaLd0n , one question, what changes / patches did you do in your DSDT? If I may ask?

@Najr4d. "tragiczna kultura pracy RX580 po wybudzeniu ze sleep" - How does it manifest? Fans spin, do not turn off?

PS. : I will build the same, but wait until 10.14.5, there should already run the RX5XX better, according to the last BETA.

hi

quick sync not enabled, i attached my efi folder can u take a look on that? please

EFI.zip

MaLd0n · May 4, 2019

[ref]ehsan58[/ref], u need a intelhd enable too, both gpus work together

h4ktosh · May 5, 2019

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], can u tell me how? if u can do it on my config

MaLd0n · May 5, 2019

[ref]ehsan58[/ref], u need use a config from first post, reboot and enable intelhd

@Najr4d. "tragiczna kultura pracy RX580 po wybudzeniu ze sleep" - How does it manifest? Fans spin, do not turn off?

After waking up, as the temperature rises to 55C, the fans turn on max for about 2-3 seconds - until the temperature drops to 50C and thus into a circle. I have two monitors, so I have 55C quickly
