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.

[ref]comcomson[/ref], On a side note, you are using AcpiBatteryManager with VirtualSMC where its supposed to be SMCBatteryManager+VirtualSMC kexts. I have read, SMCBatteryManager kext works better for newer I2C devices.

Can you replace the HID to MSFT0001 and try again?

-replaced XXXX0000 with MSFT0001

-replaced with SMCBatteryManager

[ref]comcomson[/ref], The HID was not changed yet, I think you made a mistake.

check if work, replace dsdt, rebuild, reboot

PS: You can delete ACPIBatteryManager when using SMCBatteryManager + VirtualSMC kexts

Good morning from my country (just wake up). Tried 2 dsdt and sending 2 send me renamed respectively.

Deleted ACPIBatteryManager.

Both aren't working touchpad. See attached documents.

I think I found the "culprit".

I think I found the "culprit".

Wow Singapore! Gonna have a Southeast Asia trip soon. Not going to Singapore because its way too expensive that I'm unaffordable as a fresh graduate lol ( I want to go there so badly

What would be the culprit? There's another laptop which is pretty similar to mine, the yoga s730. It doesn't bother like mine does. If success, I would definitely upload EFI folder for other 730s users to make their hackintosh ) gonna add your credit too! So thankful ?

Yes, Go elsewhere cheaper and enjoy more! LOL!

[ref]comcomson[/ref], I am afraid some fun has an end. I have used up all possible tricks possible. We managed to solve few issues but I am guessing your I2C is not fully supported.

You can head down to voodooI2C gitter page and seek help from Ben. But, you are always welcome to come back here if you need further clarification

Please send last sendme.

Thats the issue. Normally, polling mode will run but unfortunately not for your device.

This is the last kernel log.

However, I still have 3 tricks left.
