Hackintosh Guide - Catalina / Big Sur / Monterey on Mobos Series 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 with OpenCore Bootloader

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

diamonddust · March 4, 2020

The sound played was distorted though, another thing is the Audio seems to get better (less distorted) as time passes

diamonddust · March 5, 2020

ok I boot up Win10 and have the same audio distortion after wakeup, static like distortion. I will sigle out component, I'm thinking the PSU first as it is an Enermax Infiniti 650 (2007)

I need help, I have made the jump from Clover to OpenCore, I managed to install with little difficulty since I am a novice in this system, but even so I managed to start Mac OS Catalina, but I have a problem with Audio, I cannot get it to work. Somebody help me.
I attach the EFI folder that I am using so that they tell me that I am missing or that I have left, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 330-15IKB with Realted ALC230.

Thank you very much with a little effort, I already have audio.

Hello MaLd0n

I have a Mojave system that works with the Cloverbootloader you created earlier. I want to install Catalina with Opencore and can you help me with this? The .zip file I created with runme.app is attached.

NOTE: I have a question. Is it possible to boot with opencore by simply replacing the bootloader part of the existing Mojave system, or do I need to install vanilla all over again?

Here is the send_me.zip file : https://mega.nz/file/Q8cXTAKC#CRBtjAvz6rXFJJKBUFGE-S20jKtLuuDUOZHeyls9Srk

Hello MaLd0n

I put the DSDT.aml file on OpenCore. Mojave and Catalina disks are not a problem during boot, but windows10 gives blue screen. Do you have any idea why?

Hello MaLd0n

if u have a dual boot with one good config with dsdt full edited, u need use a ndk branch OpenCore or apply a non-sense patch inside all devices

resume, u need wait a good time for opencore stay like clover, a good bootloader

diamonddust · April 9, 2020

Same problem here, Like MaLd0n suggested the only way with opencore is to use the ndk branch.

The way I boot win10 is to first Clean Nvram with OC picker than boot win10 with Bios bootloader, than before boot back to Catalina I apply the Reset Nvram

Olá, MaLd0n

Ajude-me com o OpenCore DSDT Catalina 10.15.4

Olá, MaLd0n! Alguma configuração deu erro, pois fiquei agarrado na maça. O que posso fazer para entrar no sistema? Substitua uma pasta EFI Opencore Notebook 300 e adicione ou desdobre acima uma pasta OC dentro da ACPI.
