Hackintosh OpenCore Vanilla Guide, Step by Step

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 @MaLd0n

I have tried the DSDT.aml that you have passed me and removed my old DSDT.aml and all SSDT.aml. I continue with the same kext.

Works:

- Sleep mode.

It does not work:

- Still not detecting the internal screen.

- If I touch the touch screen, it suffers an immediate reboot.

- There is no audio over HDMI.

Thank you very much for your effort, greetings, I hope you can continue to help me.

I just copied my EFI From SSD, to Flashdisk, and edit the config.plist just like what you said.
But then, i can't boot it. It said that something like this again IMG_20201130_124500.zip.

I can boot normally when i boot from the SSD, but it always ended up just like the image when i boot into flashdisks

What can i do then?

Hello MaLd0n,

I have Big Sur installed with OpenCore, everything seems to be working good except the graphics.

I have 2 graphics card on my PC:

PCI Slot1: GTX 970

PCI Slot2: GTX 650

I also have 2 monitors:

-HP OMEN 25 connected to GTX 650 by DVI.

-Samsung C32JG5x connected to both 650 (by HDMI) & 970 (by DP).

When I boot the hackintosh, it starts on PCI Slot1 DP, verbose process finish and stays on verbose.

Both DVI & HDMI on 650 are working fine, but OS X detects 3 displays, not 2.

The problem is I need to mirror displays so I can see the main one, the DVI and HDMI displays connected to 650 are not the principal display.

Do you know what can I do to have just 650 detected so I have only 2 displays not 3? Maybe disable PCI Slot1?

I attach some screenshots for further information and RunMe.zip.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello @MaLd0n

I have followed your guide Mobile Intel HD Graphics / Clover or Opencore for the hd 620 in 7th generation cpu, my processor is a KabyLake-U the i7-7500U but I still do not detect the internal LVDS monitor by BigSur.

Do you have any idea why? I've gone through hundreds of websites and tried dozens of settings but I only get video through the USB-C port to an HDMI adapter for an external monitor, so there I get graphics acceleration.

I pass you my current graphics configuration.

I hope you can help please, thank you very much, regards
