Toshiba Tecra Z40-C-11E - almost perfect hack

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.

I can't find any error with my hack.. so.. sometimes is quick way reinstall than lookin for error (even don't have any data, or many software installed)

anyway

during installation Olarila Image Catalina 10.15.3, before installing Clover (boot from USB) I have the option of mirroring the screen in the menu. However, once I install Clover and use my DSDT and my config with the serial number I have used and worked, this offer will disappear. Do I believe it's just a question of setting up intel graphics? Unfortunately I don't know where to look anymore ...

Incidentally, the previous error occurred after about 30 hours of use by the system shutdown - sleep - start / wake. During netflix playback, the system self-signed out several times after about 15 minutes. I wanted to look at the Saver settings, the panel did not open and an error message appeared. After restarting the system, it did not boot.
So I finally reinstalled everything and copied the EFI back up. Everything is in order (for now). I'll see, I'll test.
However, I would like to solve the Mirroring Screen if possible. (as I wrote at the beginning, when booting from the installation USB flash drive, I choose config2.plist, the mirror button is here...

any ideas? Where I can look for this?
