macOS Big Sur Public Beta 20A5343j

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.

looks very good for now

Tks!
I will try Big Sur public. Can I use the same OC EFI as my Catalina installation? Do I need any specific adjustments?

Hello in case someone uses this information.
Yesterday I installed big asur on Noteboock 15 HP and after many unsuccessful attempts I decided to change the boot arguments to these. -V kext-dev-mode = 1 dart = 0 nv_disable = 1 -cdfon -igfxnohdmi alcid = 3. With this I now have Catalina 10.15.6 and Big Sur boot

The installation booted very well.
For now I just need a fix for my Atheros AR9485 wifi adapter.
The solutions used in Catalina did not work. I had KP with the old IO80211Family.kext, used to enable the wi-fi card in Catalina.
The solution I found in the topic "[Guide] WifiAtheros AR9565, AR9462, AR9463, AR9485 on Mojave and Catalina" also did not work ...

Any suggestion?

After almost giving up on the KPs and reboots (after using the latest Skylake+ premade and sanity-checked) on my Kabylake / 100 series motherboard, I'd managed to get this public beta installed (from Apple servers) by using the Haswell package - after a last attempt. Added in the Realtek RTL8111 LAN driver for networking, however USB WiFi driver installation still causes KPs on boot. Might be a booter quirk configuration or something. Will revisit on a later date

Ola Maldon, qual o sistema de arquivos deverá ser formatado para instalar o BigSur. Acontece que usando via pendrive começa a instalar e trava já usei as duas formas APFS e HFS. Em algumas situações no momento do travamento é alterado na bios o modo de HD para IDE. Tem que ter drives para subir em APFS? Fiz Install de dentro do Catalina e também via pendrive e esta dando o mesmo problema, não concluindo o Install.

Go to OC 0.6.1 and set the 'Rebuild Apple Map' to No/False on Booter Quirks.

Have you fixed this problem via dsdt?

Apfs snapshot is quite common in big sur, I have this case also.
