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.

I'm sorry, but there's no support for internal graphics in P8P67 Pro Rev3.1 BIOS. Or do you mean I should just enable it in Clover somehow, regardless of BIOS functionality?

need enable in bios first for configure in clover/oc

That's what I thought. So if there is no option for internal graphics in BIOS, and by default the motherboard doesn't support internal graphics, it means there is no way to turn on the HD3000 iGPU on my 2600k. Which means there is no way to use only Nvidia dGPU (with no iGPU) for VDA, correct?

check ioreg if u see igpu load

Nope, no iGPU in ioreg. I guess that's normal, since P67 chipset officially doesn't not support any internal graphics.

My system:

gtx 760

i5-2500k

motherboard: msi h61mu-e35 (ms-7680)

4gb ram

128 ssd

Latest Mojave

I need the hardware encoding for FCPX, Lightroom, etc.
In other word, I need IQSV, intel quick sync...

How do I enable that?
tried a lot of methods, but always failed. MacX Video Converter Pro shows, that hardware encoding: NO

Hey guys i am having RX 580 with Intel 9400F (No iGPU) everything is working great (Thanks to @MaLd0n) but Hardware encoding and decoding not working.i have tried with SMBIOS such as 19,1 and Mac Pro 1,1 but not working at all.

Have Tried shikigva=96 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 and shikigva=128 / 144 with injecting IntelGFX 0x3E928086 ig-platform-id 0x3E920003 with InjectIntel

SMBIOS 19,1 with shikigva=32 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 I am able to edit h264 but not H265

SMBIOS MacPro 1,1 and 5,1 shikigva=96 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 nothing at all.config.plist.zip

MaLd0n · August 6, 2020

if u use iMac19,1 smbios, just use shikigva=128 or 144

u can use a imacpro1,1 with any bootarg about that
