Install MacOS Catalina / Big Sur / Monterey on Mobos Serie 300 / 400 / 500 / 600 with Intel 8th / 9th / 10th / 11th / 12th Gen Desktop Processors using OpenCore or Clover bootloader

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.

in vide pro it shows no h264 and hevc and I also cannot play 4k videos with this card it just keeps missing frames and stutters very badly and that is not even h265 videos. When I try my drone videos h265 it is unwatchable because of how slow it renders.

I found a cheap sapphire nitro+ radeon rx580 online, would this card work properly with my build and give me full acceleration?

Hi Maldon, I hope the attached makes sense. It again does the full boot with no errors showing when in verbose mode, boots into Big Sur and then freezes and reboots.

I managed to get it to boot with your efi by turning of ResLogo Status in ACPI and changing simbios to iMac Pro 1.1. Now I can play HEVC videos but in videoproc it still shows no H264 and no HEVC. Also please help with the USB, I cannot see the back 2 usb and the from 2 usb to map them. In the screenshot the USB ports that shows the 802.1, cruiser blade and USB Receiver

The 2 usb at the front and 2 at the back still do not show up at all in Hackintool no matter what I try. They work when a device is plugged in and I can see them in IOReg and System information but not in Hackintool. Also is it at all possible to boot from HDMI to my Rocket Lake IGPU at all.
