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

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.

1- rename to adp1 and add a _prw into device, common values is

Name (_PRW, Package () // _PRW: Power Resources for Wake
{
0x1C,
0x03
})

@MaLd0n

I've tried your config for my S540 i7 10510u.

Install boot works without issues, but after first reboot choosing macos installer system loads and reboots after 2 seconds to rescue partition.

I've spent some days and followed dortanias OC guide from scratch. System is working quite with Catalina 10.15.7.

Some issues still present:

HDMI 4k - connecting monitor laptop screen flashes, monitor screen flashes but no signal on monitor.

HDMI 1080p - after boot connecting cable display is working, after sleep i have to replug the cable.

I've tried different framebuffer patches and configurations from others without luck.

Could you check my config?

OC is already 0.6.1 and the newest kexts.

I got my HDMI on 4k to run. Kind of. What I have noticed:

ColorSync profiles get some kind of messed up. I need to delete them. after that i can connect my 4k monitor, but after sleep need to make everything from start.

Yes, but even with the nvram reset, the grey screen appears... I would try to download the beta image again, maybe the image that I have that is corrupted, but the google drive is giving an error saying that I cannot see or download this file at the moment.
