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]A-D-H-I[/ref], As a start, you can install VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID kexts in clover/kexts/other. And add Coolstar's KextToPatch to disable Apple's I2C device. Please read post 1.

Having done the above, reboot and extract new sendme files.

you need to add your trackpad device name in synaptic kext. And you also need to patch your _Crs return correctly

Added in 30 minutes 54 seconds:

You have had multiple OSI patches but did not patch the latest.

Only latest OSI emulation.

here is my updated send me files I really need your help to fix it

here is my updated send me files I really need your help to fix it

1. Remove unused kexts. Only install what your system needs.

2. Remove SSDT-PNLF and SSDT-Olarila. These patches are already in DSDT.

3. Find If (USTP) in DSDT and change to If (One)

4. Reboot and extract new sendme.

Just to be sure, check your BIOS for advanced trackpad settings if any. If its set to BASIC, trackpad will only work like a normal mouse.

[ref]ahmedgamal09[/ref], Did you read about checking BIOS option?

ahmedgamal09 · October 19, 2019

[ref]ahmedgamal09[/ref], Did you read about checking BIOS option?

yes there isn't any option for trackpad in BIOS

onemanosx · October 19, 2019

[ref]ahmedgamal09[/ref], Try this DSDT and extract new sendme.

If this still doesnt work, you can try to change GPI0 pin in interrupt mode. Read post 2 of the guide on how to calculate the pins.

You can also try with polling mode and disable GPI0 device.

Trackpad involves trial and errors for some machines.

[ref]iamifinance[/ref], First of all, your EFI is a mess! Replace the EFI folder with this and reboot. https://Olarila.com/files/Clover.Folder/CLOVER.NOTEBOOKS.100.200.300.zip

I need your ACPI tables. To do that, at Clover bootloader, press F4 and wait for a moment. Then boot normally.

Extract new sendme files.

iamifinance · October 20, 2019

The EFI is unbootable stuck at the line smcLightSensor : alsd @ No iterator

For F4 I have no response from pressing.

Enable EC0 to EC patch in Clover.

For F4 I have no response from pressing.

You wont be able to see anything from the bootloader. But, once booted, you will find ACPI tables in Clover/ACPI/Origin folder

iamifinance · October 20, 2019

Where is enable EC0 patch in CLOVER ?

In CLOVER menu ?

After change EC0 to EC. Now I can boot and Battery percent is activate but USB wifi and Screen light unusable.

for the Origin folder is as below

Your files are not accessible

USB Wifi you will need OEM drivers. Install them. Screen light? IF you mean brightness slider, that can be done in DSDT patch/ clover>addPNLF

iamifinance · October 20, 2019

Ok thanks, lets try again please.
