Enable I2C Trackpad (VoodooI2C) - Not a Guide... not really

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.

iospecifiers still 0x33.

wont iospecifiers be tagged to your hardware?

mathewgx · January 6, 2019

Yes , but they are bigger than 47 so my touchpad doesn't work right.

Then follow through the guide for iospecifiers larger than 0x2f

mathewgx · January 6, 2019

That's what I did.

Nevermind. Seems that I need _crs to xcrs patch at clover to get trackpad working right.

One more question.

Can you tell from my ioreg what type of touchpad i have ? It is synaptics?

Update: My trackpad now works with latest release!

My trackpad had a problem of not being able to use the latest kext release. And so I was stuck with release v2.0.2. Until recently, the dev replied to my GIT issue and mentioned to disable "Ignore built-in trackpad" in Sys Prefs > Accessiblity > Mouse & Trackpad

And true enough, I am able to use my trackpad using the latest release (v2.1.4 as of this writing). How awesome is this?

Anybody tried to use SYNA3602 touchpad? It is a touchpad that did not work even in Linux until kernel 4.19 and 5.0 and so it does not work in Android-x86 and ChromeOS either.

Why the PNG extension has been deactivated?

check here if your device is officially supported. https://voodooi2c.github.io/#Installation/Installation

I think it is not, but I can try that guide anyway, right?

Btw, do you think it would be possible to update the images in this guide? Also the kext repo link no longer works. I think this would help a lot of people! Thank you very much.

You can try, of course.

Yeah, I'll reupload some of the missing images when I get the time soon! Thanks for the heads up.

Btw, how do I know from this site, if my device is supported? https://voodooi2c.github.io/#Installation/Installation

I do not see any list of supported devices there.

Ok, I see, but where do I find out my device ID? Maybe it is written in this thread, but I just did not find it.

onemanosx · April 5, 2019

Actually, the infos are all there for you to read.

You can check in Windows or follow the procedure to check in ioreg.

I was really searching, but still do not see where I can find my touchpad device ID. How to find it out? It is this touchpad.

[ref]Wizzard[/ref], read edited reply above your last post.

Ok, seems that my touchpad is not supported

for the sake of interest. Remove all trackpad related kexts or ssdts and use only voodooi2c and voodooi2chid kexts. Reboot. Rebuild permissions and reboot again. Run and Upload runme folder. Thx.

Wizzard · April 5, 2019

Okay, I hope there is no other trackpad related kext left.

Send me MacBook.zip

Wow, it generated a lot of files. So what now? Should I just use my generated DSDT.aml?
