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.

Please I need your help. My battery shows cycle count when i use Hp support assistant to check the health of the battery. But that's not the case when i generate battery report using powershell. I have attached the battery report generated using powershell, the screenshot of the hp support assistant battery health tool check and my dsdt. Please take a look at it... If i need to upload something else please tell me and i will do it... In macOS, My battery cycle count is 0 and i want to fix it Please.

Replace VirtualSMC and its plugins with FakeSMC+PLUGINS and your battery cycle will show up. You will probably also get couple sensors more and fan speed if you have appropriate files installed.

Unfortunately fakesmc breaks my charger status. I hope Maldon will be able to help me with this soon ?
