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.

So my Yoga 2 Pro is working wonderfully! All the hardware seems to work (except HDMI audio out).

If I close the lid and attach a monitor, the graphics work perfectly, as far as I can tell. I even played a game of League of Legends on it (I lost).

BUT on the laptop display, some programs show up garbled. Artifacts appear. Some icons look like gray barcodes. The bottom half of the screen flickers. Google Chrome is especially bad but if I turn off Hardware Acceleration it works great. Once I hook it back up to the external display AND turn off the laptop display, though, everything is back to perfect.

I think, but do not know, that part of the problem is the QHD+ display (3200x1800)

My laptop is Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

Graphics Intel 4400

Resolution 3200x1800

Processor i7-4510U

I have attached my SendMe files.
