The Real Vanilla Hackintosh with macOS BigSur and Opencore / Full DSDT Patches / Notebook

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.

Mestre @MaLd0n, como já era de se esperar, sua EFI e DSDT funcionaram perfeitamente no meu Lenovo S145-15IWL, o Big Sur tá rodando lisinho com Open Core

Minha saga agora é tentar dar boot no BigSur com o Clover. Peguei minha EFI do Clover que funciona com o Catalina, fiz todos os procedimentos do tópico https://www.olarila.com/topic/9063-guide-installrestore-bigsur-with-clover/ (substituí bootx64.efi e cloverx64.efi, acrescentei -lilubetaall nos boot-args, adicionei os 3 patches em KernelToPatch, compilei a última versão das kexts e atualizei elas na EFI/Clover/kexts/Other, fui na pasta EFI/Clover/Drivers/UEFI e excluí AptioMemoryFix.efi e no lugar acrescentei OcQuirks.efi, OcQuirks.plist e OpenRuntime.efi). Conferi todos esses passos exaustivamente, mas ainda assim não consigo inicializar o macOS 11 pelo Clover...

Eu teria que editar alguma coisa no OcQuirks.plist? (ou isso não seria necessário pro Intel Core-i5 8265U?)

Se o OpenCore estiver deixando alguma "sujeira" na minha NVRAM, como faço pra "limpar" (já que no Clover não tem uma opção "reset nvram")?

Hi Mald0n,

I see some different tutorials to install big sur. If I will start from scratch with big sur, do you recommend open core or clover??

What is the best boot loader option nowadays to work on?

Note: I have minimal knowledge on clover, but zero about open core. Anyway, I am creating a hackintosh for fun and to learnt about it
