MacOs Catalina Hackintosh

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.

When I remove VoodooI2CHID.kext, my trackpad don't move

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

Fui sair com meu note, deixei ele no carro, daí levaram ele.

Agradeço todo o apoio e dedicação da galera nos tópicos aqui me ajudando com o OS X, infelizmente no momento tive essa perda, mas assim que comprar outro volto aqui.

Valeu Maldon

Thank you for help me brother

I near to go to my work again, I will buy another after 7 months.

Do you recomend some notebook i7, (maybe gamer) good to Hack OS X?

Hi MaLd0n, I need your support to make my hackintosh laptop works better. I use macOS Mojave currently without problem with all devices. I replaced my wifi card for an original apple card with adapter one year ago aprox. Well, I installed Mojave before in their moment and maybe I had some problems but I could solve it and currently I use macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

My process to install macOS in my laptop Lenovo Z70-80 is almost the same of everyone but to my way. I prepare the installer in a USB stick and another I put the clover bootloader.

I tried macOS Catalina time ago in beta 1 and I had not problem to do it but with my process to install the last release I couldn't. I searched many info in internet and I found a web with your info about install Catalina in HP laptop with Broadwell processor. That web isn't Olaria or insanelymac, I forgot save the page but I downloaded a EFI file that you posted with this name efi-mbp-12aug19-11.zip.

I tried your EFI folder to install Catalina and I do it successfully but with a special characteristic It install in recovery mode.

Finally I could to install macOS Catalina 10.15.0 using some items from your config.plist file in that EFI Folder and applying in my own config.plist but with the same recovery mode install and I want to do it with the correct mode installation and fix my error in boot. It is a little blink glitch before to enter to login.

In macOS Mojave I use my DSDT patched I don't know if is perfect but it works good. In Catalina I'm not use DSDT only the EFI folder that I replaced from the USB stick to HDD without install clover bootloader program.

In summary, I need your help to patch my DSDT correctly or create a config.plist perfect to install macOS Catalina and above in future without problems with the correct mode installation.

I attach my zip file created with run.app

Send me Lubeatss-MacBook-Pro.zip
