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.

Hi, I successfully installed Catalina and some kexts on my Laptop. I updated the Lilu and WhateverGreen in EFI/Clover/kexts/Others. And also installed VoodooPS2controller kext. System Preferences---->Trackpad shows me Gestures. My Laptop's trackpad supports multi-touching, but gestures do not work properly. My Laptop's specs:

Laptop name: HP Envy 17-j034ca

CPU: Intel Core i5-3230M

VGA: Intel HD Graphics 4000

RAM: 12GB

Disk: 240 GB Kingston SSD

Network: Intel Centrino (Not supported. I need an advice to buy an internal Wificard for my laptop)

Sound:

id: DEV_2806

id: DEV_76E0 ( Beats audio IDT92HD90XXX supported, and I fixed it with AppleALC.kext)

Trackad: Synaptic SMBus Clickpad DEV_1E90

I attach here ioreg file, too
