OpenCore bootloader with development SDK

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]erroruser[/ref], Ok ill wait for DSDT, now to learn how to switch to OC.

If anyone is feeling generous i have uploaded my Clover folder to get a working OC config.https://www.dropbox.com/s/8oef9rovz5tpczq/CLOVER.zip?dl=0.

savage001 · December 1, 2019

Well ive tried my hand at converting to OC but no luck.

Can someone help me to convert this patch into opencore?

As far as I know opencore doesn't use tgtbridge.

I was successful on the installation of Opencore using my clover DSDT made by MaLd0n . My problem is that i have poor performance with opencore especially with my Graphics Card MSI RX Vega 64. My performance went like 3000 points down in geekbench 5 OpenGl/Metal. I don't know if I need something else of I miss a step. My MB is and Gigabyte z370 Gaming 7, with Clover I had all my PCIs and information on the system report but not luck with opencore, even boot time was better with clover. I don't know was wrong! I Need help here guys!! THANKSSSS!!!!Opencore EFI.zip

PlexiPuter · April 10, 2020

OpenCore working really great here on both the H270 and Z370.

I'm still using the full patch DSDT's on both, along with Drop OEM in the ACPI/Block section. I also compiled my USB Map SSDT into the end of the Full Patch DSDT. This works great and is super clean and simple!

I went back to just having the Apple HDMI as Device HDAU in DSDT and have the RX560 and RX580 in Device Properties instead.

This speeds up the GPU showing up in System Information when running Catalina. There was a slight lag before.

Sleep/Wake/Autosleep, etc, all work great on both machines.

On the Z370, I just have the RX580 in Device Properties. On the H270 I just have the RX560 and the Firewire PCI card in there.

It should be noted that too many internal PCIe devices added to Device Properties can stop the puter from sleeping!

See attached, zipped screenshots

Remove the Custom folder for your DSDT as it should not be there. Just put the DSDT straight into the ACPI folder. You may need to add some renames in ACPI/Patch.

Also, remove any kexts that you don't need or are not using.

you should not be doing renames as it says in the guide an you should be doing ssdt/dsdt for renames

PlexiPuter · April 10, 2020

I've just tried a bunch of stuff out in OC and MaLd0n's standard (non SSDT's added) DSDT seems to also boot great with no rename patches whatsoever.

I've got two machines now running as good or possibly better than they were on Clover :)

I make the SSDT patches and is working beautiful now but still have this error 0xE in my opencore log:
