ssdtPRGen - CPU Power Management SSDT Problem

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.

Hi, I am trying quite hard to make 10.13 work on a Legacy build: Xeon X5670, Gigabyte X58 UD5, Nvidia 1080Ti. I used Opencore to install 10.13 and followed the ssdtPRGen instructions:

Inserted in User Defined.cfg: X5670,95,1600,2930,3333,6,12,4,133 in both ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/ssdtPRGen.sh-Beta/Data and ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/Data.

But I get the following errors when trying to run the ssdtPRGen script. I really don't know what to do from here.. Any help would be really great.

Do you want to open ssdt.dsl (y/n)? n`

use generate p and c states in clover

the result is not good?

RS1 · July 11, 2020

Thank you for the reply @MaLd0n.

I couldn’t install MacOS via Clover at all

(I see an error: panic (6 Cpu caller...): No HPETs available.. CPU(s) configured incorrectly. I’ve tried a number of things (set FixHPET flags in Clover etc.). Checked Bios. No luck. I have the correct smbios.

So am using Opencore. Installed fine (with some help from devs) - it was necessary to set the following flag in the config.plist to true: dummypowermanagement. I don’t think OC uses my DSDT but rather the DSDT is used to generate ssdt’s? I’d be happy to install clover if I could get it to work.

Extract tables with F4 key in Clover boot screen, files generated in Clover/Acpi/origin, post here

RS1 · July 13, 2020

Is the attached what you need @MaLd0n? I think I did it correctly.

Hi @MaLd0n , sorry for the late response - only managed to properly look at this today.

This worked! Thank you so much. I was seriously about to give up on this.

ssdtPRGen also produced the files without error - but - the system was much slower. I am currently overclocking @4Ghz and I think, from the script in the first post that the ssdtPRGen script is limiting the CPU at 3333Mhz?

MaLd0n · July 19, 2020

with overclock try generate with sudo ~/ssdtPRGen.sh -turbo 4000
