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

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 did some research and I searched up the uuid of the kernel extension which was panicking and apparently smc-battery sensor is very buggy on big sur/

you can direct me which options to change?

Hi, first of all thank you!

I have a little problem with wifi, if I boot with no kexts, Hackintool recognises the mini-pcie bcm94352hmb. I have tried with AirportBrcmFixup + FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext but no luck. Is there any patch for make this work? Bluetooth is recognised.

EDIT: I have been reading for hours and my conclusion is that it should exist a DSDT patch. Now, may problem is that I don't know how it works. Any help? Thank you.

I have searched how to do this, but OpenCore is new to me. How can I inject this string and what is the name of the key? Is it "compatible" as a string? As far as I red, I suppose that injections should be in DevicePropieties. In fact, if I don't use AirportBrcmFixup.kext, it shows the Broadcom card as a PCI device in system report.

I have recompiled this kext with the last modification in GitHub. No lucky at the moment.

In advance thank you for you help!

~~Removed link~~

I am also interested to know how it works, should I open a new thread?

Thank you again

EDIT: I finally got it how to enable wifi, I made the injection with the value you send me in DevicePropieties, as OC documentation say, I have added AirportBrcmFixup in kernel (the new complied one), disabled the AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext and enabled AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.kext. It now works.

Again, thank you!

I used these files.Everything seems to be working except for sleep. When I put the system to sleep, my power button will keep running/light up; the screen gets dark. Then I am unable to wake it from sleep.

Thank you for your answer.

So, I have the EFI from this site, the new ssdts, NVRAM is as iMac19.1.
In fact, I can also boot Catalina 10.15.6 beta! Brilliant!

I still have the "USBZ390GamingM.kext." because I thought it supports the chipset.

Unfortunately, error messages...

no matter what I do:
USB.kext edited with hackintool,
or these boot args:
-v keepsyms = 1 debug = 0x100 alcid = 7 -lilubetaall booter-fileset-kernel booter-fileset-basesystem

come this error message as can be seen in the three pictures!
