The Real Vanilla Hackintosh with macOS BigSur / Monterey and Opencore / Full DSDT Patches / Minimal third party kexts

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.

@MaLd0n

i used hackintool and the patch does work only on Catalina but somehow doesn't work on Big Sur,

do i need to run the tool while i am on Big sur or can just run it while using Catalina?

EDIT:

I just found out that With macOS Catalina 10.15.x or Big Sur B1 and latest version of WhateverGreen several motherboards are unable to activate on-board HDMI ports.

Hi, great work as always!

I´m very curious about how do you get working both graphics cards without WEG, and no edits in DSDT (renaming GFX0 and PEGP), no _DSM declared, no data in config.plist for 590.

And best of all both listed in PCI with slot J6B1. Mine would be J6B2 as per aida64 in WIN10. Can´t figure out what´s going on here, man !

Can you give me any clue how to do that? Are you sure you posted the correct DSDT?

thanks for all you do!

and rename entries PEG0/PEGP to PEG0/GFX0

SCREENSHOTS i'm using Weg, after one good fine tune all unnecessary is removed(check video)

Ok, i`m testing this in catalina. sorry if this is not the place but i made some more testing.

Using your files from first post, with new 19,1 smbios data and my usb ports map kext, nvram reset:

- WEG or no WEG, renaming PEGP > GFX0 = OK

- WEG or no WEG, renaming GFX0 > IGPU = ACPI errors, no boot

------------

With WEG, loads ATY,AMD,RadeonFramebuffer, HDMI & DP A/V ok, DVI not tested, IGP as "Intel UHD Graphics 630", IMEI driver loaded, plays video file with itunes DRM.

No WEG, loads ATY,Orinoco (+1000 points in Metal test in GB5), No DisplayPort output, DVI not tested, HDMI A/V ok, IGP as model "Intel HD Graphics CFL" but IMEI Controller driver not loaded > no DRM > no video testing a file from itunes. HECI is not being renamed as IMEI.

So, you are right, it works, but without weg there are some problems with DP video output ports and drm.

Both cases with your dsdt and mine, and with your config.plist, graphics cards in all this variations doesn´t get listed in PCI devices.

Enought testing for today !!

Would this work on a laptop? Or is there just a bigger risk of things breaking ?

Great !! Yes, this acpi related things are driven me crazy!

There has to be something wrong in my hack, i don't know where is the problem. Very much the same hardware and config files and i can't get listed in pci both graphics cards, with the weirdness of both using "Airport" as slot.

Would you mine take a look at my files? Tell me what you need, please.
