r/hackintosh

I'm not calling this "working" just because the framebuffer loads. Metal, OpenGL, and hardware video decoding actually work.

This is an initial release, so support is currently limited to specific hardware configurations running macOS Big Sur. DisplayPort and HDMI output are working on tested Tiger Lake and Alder Lake-N systems, including Intel N100-based machines.

I haven't tested laptops or USB-C display output yet, and Alder Lake-P and Raptor Lake aren't supported yet either. I plan to get the necessary hardware and work on these next.

I started with Big Sur because of the compatibility requirements of the AppleTGLGraphics drivers this project is based on. I also plan to develop patches for newer macOS versions, up to Tahoe.

The project consists of a Lilu plugin and an OpenCore Legacy Patcher fork that provides the required root patches. Root patching is required, but disabling AMFI is unnecessary thanks to my modified version of AMFIPass.

Lilu plugin: https://github.com/b00t0x/WhateverXe
OCLP fork for root patching: https://github.com/b00t0x/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher

First of all I wanna thank the entirety of r/Hackintosh discord server and AMD OSX one as well for their patience and knowledge.

Huge props to Dortania, Chefskiss, Corpnewt, Homage and hg13.

After a solid amount of trials and tribulations I finally got my Hackintosh to boot.

Hardware:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x
GPU: Nvidia RTX 5090 (PNY OC ARGB)
RAM: DDR5 2x32GB @ 5200mHz (Kingston Fury)
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair X670E Hero
Ethernet Card: Intel i225-V 2.5GbE
Wifi/BT Card: Intel Wifi 6E AX-210
BIOS revision: Latest on ASUS Website

So you may be wondering what works so far:

CPU: Yes (although being a ryzentosh, no support for AppleHV)

iGPU: No, expected, it's not supported

dGPU: Nullmoth drivers appear sort of usable, however extremely glitchy especially after boot, gpu encoding/decoding doesn't work inside chromium based browsers (at least I couldn't get it to work), did not try NVENC or any CUDA workload (if there's some interest, leave a comment and I'll run whatever benchmark you need), some elements of the GUI have pixel-ish contours, my 75hz monitor works

Wifi: Yes, using https://github.com/laobamac/itlwm (it even supports Wifi 6)

Ethernet: Yes, using https://github.com/SongXiaoXi/AppleIGC

Bluetooth: at the moment no, but I call skill issue on my side here (I haven't worked on it yet)

IServices: Yes, works perfectly

Audio: did not try

One thing I'd like to note here is that metal score: it's not far from a M5 Ultra and considering that this a very pre-alpha stage software, if put the right hands, it can go far.

I'll perhaps create a repo on GitHub with my EFI with some notes if someone happens to have exactly my setup, however you are highly encouraged to make your own (do not expect any type of support).

This hackintosh is on a lenovo thinkpad T460 and it runs pretty good! The only things not working is the fingerprint reader, and idk if that can be fixed.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
GPU: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 520
SSD: WDC PC SA530 SDASB8Y1T00

DO NOT ASK ME FOR EFI I WILL NOT AND HAVE NEVER SHARED AN EFI FOR MY HACKINTOSHES. I AM ALSO AWARE THE SERIAL NUMBER IS HERE. I CHANGED IT ON MY LAPTOP AFTER POSTING

Kinda unstable, but daily-drivable. Took a lot of manual tweaking to get there. Driver used: https://github.com/nullmoth/nvidia-macos-driver

After a very long time, I finally managed to install a modern version of macOS on this notebook I had in storage.
Its specifications are:
- Intel Core i3-2328M
- Intel HD Graphics 3000
- 6GB DDR3 RAM
- 120GB SSD
- Atheros AR9285
Currently, the Wi-Fi isn't working. Performance is excellent, but it gets very laggy with multiple tabs open.

i have no luck, nothing worked for me in this life even my hackintosh that everyone did it on R(TX) but for me it’s not working
i reinstalled the whole macOS 3 times
reset nvrm
deleting the NVIDIA GPU DRIVERS and reinstalling it
tweak efi file
editing the boot-arg
changing the whole drive
changing the Efi file
using an older macOS
reading the Null-moth guide 72830 times
removing all the USB from pc
nothing worked it kept on Applekeyservice

RTW89 cards are now fully supported via my kext! Native AirPort works, 2.4 and 5Ghz band are supported and live scanning and hidden networks work! WPA3 is a work in progress, it will be added soon as i found a solution. But we need testers, i have my RTL8852BE tested and its stable, but i need testers for these cards:

RTL8851BE - RTL8852AE - RTL8852CE - RTL8922AE - RTL8922DE.

I hope we can release this ASAP. AirDrop is WIP.

As you may know RTW89 Realtek wireless cards like the Realtek 8852BE are used in a lot of laptops but lack the support in macOS. Thankfully it will probably be supported soon with a kext. I got it to connect to an SSID, do nearby scanning of networks and made it wake cleanly after sleep/hibernate. However, it sees as it as Ethernet, will work on native AirPort support. Will update! Will probably need testers for other card models!

I am getting this error when booting into my usb using OpenCore picker

i have a HP Laptop bs1xx here are the specs:

Cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U (Kaby-Lake-Refresh)

iGpu: Intel Graphics UHD 620

dGpu: Amd Radeon (tm) r5 m330 (Disabled using -wegnoegpu)

RAM: 2 sticks of 4gb ddr4

MotherBoard: 832B

Ethernet: RTL8111

SMBIOS: MacBookPro14,1

Bios: Insydeh20 rev: 5.0

I followed dortania Coffee Lake guide for the efi but my SMBIOS and Device properties were set with the Kaby Lake Part of the guide because i saw another reddit post saying i should do that. I also setup the usb with a MacOs VM for a offline installer.

What I've done:

Tried leaving just Lilu, SMC, WhateverGreen, UTBmap, USBtoolbox kexts and seeing if it boots.

Followed troubleshooting steps for my error and it did not work

Disabled CFG lock using modGRUBSHELL

Added -ncpi=0x3000 boot arg

Added -no_compat_check boot arg

Bios config: I disabled Fast Boot, Secure Boot, i could not find Serial/COM port in bios, Could not find Parallel port in bios, could not find VT-d in bios, CSM is disabled, could not find Thunderbolt in bios, disabled intel SGX, could not find Intel PlatForm Trust in bios, enabled VT-x, could not find Above 4G decoding in bios, could not find Hyper Threading in bios, could not find execute disable bit in bios, could not find EHCI/XHCI hand off in bios, set os type to uefi, could not find DVMT-Pre-Allocated(iGPU Memory), could not find Sata Mode in bios

I think the reason why i am stuck on this error is because my Bios is very locked down by HP and i could not enable/disable alot of the settings required.
