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

Sorry for the delay. I spent hours trying to install Mojave on my MSI X99 based Hackintosh. I believe that the results will surprise you as much as they surprised me. Selecting the Olarila USB installation in the bios as the first booting device always ended up on "Couldn't allocate runtime area" no matter what I tried. Then I chose a random working Mojave hard drive as the first booting device in the bios, but at he Clover boot window, I selected the Olarila usb installer. And it worked. I was able to complete the installation on a first hard drive. To make sure I was not dreaming I repeated the process on a second hard drive. And it worked too. Not content with those results, I installed Mojave on an external SSD drive. And it worked. I now have fully working computer. There is one thing that I did not try and I wanted to ask you about: could I use the X99 Clover folder found in the downloads of this site to replace the Clover folder found on the Olarila usb installer and hope that my computer would boot normally with that modified usb installer?

Thanks for taking the time to read me.
