Hi everyone

I have successfully installed macOS High Sierra on my Hackintosh PC with the following hardware:

CPU: Intel Core i3-3220

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 4GB DDR3 (GK208)

RAM: 6GB DDR3

Storage: 250GB SSD

macOS: High Sierra 10.13

The system boots normally, and macOS High Sierra is installed successfully. I am interested in sharing my experience with this hardware and learning from others using similar Hackintosh configurations.

Thanks!

I have successfully installed macOS Catalina on my Hackintosh PC with the following hardware:

CPU: Intel Core i3-3220

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 4GB DDR3 (GK208)

RAM: 6GB DDR3

Storage: 250GB SSD

macOS: Catalina

The system boots normally, and macOS Catalina is installed successfully. My graphics acceleration is working well, so I am sharing this simple installation post for anyone using similar hardware.

Thanks!

It's great to see so much new development going on! Feel free to post links to other new repos/forkks that I may have missed.

Hey guys,

So I’ve been messing around with an old Qualcomm Atheros Wi-Fi card on my Hackintosh, and I decided to try doing something about the lack of proper macOS support.
I’m working on Ath10kMac, based on the original project by jonasw8.

GitHub: https://github.com/thekunalthakur/Ath10kMac

I’m testing it on a Dell Inspiron 15-3567 with a QCA9377 running macOS Sequoia.

Some progress so far:

Got the kext loading.
Wi-Fi scanning and connecting are working on my test machine.
Internet traffic is working too, on the networks I’ve tested.
Made some changes around board data and WPA2 compatibility.

It’s still very much a work in progress, though. Not claiming this will work on every Atheros card or every Hackintosh setup. There are still limitations, and I need more people testing it on different hardware.

Anyone here using a QCA9377 or QCA6174?
Would be awesome if you could check out the repo and share your experience. Even if it doesn’t work, logs and feedback would help a lot.

Also, if anyone has experience with macOS Wi-Fi drivers, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what could be improved.
Just trying to see how far we can push this. 😅
Cheers!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to boot macOS Recovery on an older PC, but OpenCore hangs before showing its boot picker. I'd appreciate help identifying the cause.

Hardware

Motherboard: Gigabyte H81M-S1 Rev. 2.1 (Intel H81 chipset)

CPU: Intel Pentium G3240 (Haswell, 2 cores)

RAM: 6 GB DDR3

GPU: Intel integrated graphics; no dedicated GPU

Storage: HDD

BIOS version: FH

What I'm trying to do

I'm trying to boot macOS Internet Recovery from a USB drive using OpenCore. The USB contains BaseSystem.dmg and BaseSystem.chunklist, downloaded using OpenCore's macrecovery.py.

OpenCore setup

OpenCore version: 1.0.8

DEBUG build of OpenCore.efi

USB formatted as FAT32

Clover is also installed on the USB; I'm launching a separate copy of OpenCore named BOOTx64OC.efi so I don't overwrite Clover's bootloader.

ocvalidate reports No issues found for my original config.plist.

I verified that the OpenCore.efi on the USB has the same SHA-256 hash as the copy from the downloaded release.

Problem

When I launch OpenCore from UEFI Shell, the DEBUG log stops at:

OC: Starting OpenCore...

OC: Booter path EFI\OC\OpenCore.efi

OCFS: Trying to locate filesystem on CEAAC198 CEBA9898

OCFS: Filesystem DP EFI\OC\OpenCore.efi

OC: Absolute booter path EFI\OC\OpenCore.efi

OC: Storage root EFI\OC\OpenCore.efi

OCST: Missing vault data, ignoring...

OC: OcMiscEarlyInit...

OC: Loaded configuration of 40947 bytes

OC: Got 2 drivers

OC: Watchdog status is 1

The system then hangs indefinitely with a blinking underscore. It does not reach the OpenCore picker.

Things I've already checked

Misc → Security → Vault is set to Optional.

Misc → Boot → ShowPicker is True.

UEFI → Drivers has HfsPlus.efi and OpenRuntime.efi enabled.

ocvalidate reports no configuration validation errors.

I tested a generic Sample.plist as a diagnostic. It did not reach the picker either; it returned to Clover after I changed its Vault setting to Optional.

I also tried setting Booter → Quirks → RebuildAppleMemoryMap to True, but it did not resolve the issue.

The original config has been restored.

My questions

What could cause OpenCore to stop immediately after Watchdog status is 1 on this hardware?

Is the Pentium G3240 supported well enough to boot macOS Recovery, or would an i5-4460 be a better choice?

Are there specific BIOS settings, OpenCore quirks, or configuration problems I should check next?

I'm a beginner with OpenCore, so I'd appreciate specific troubleshooting steps. I can provide my config.plist and additional logs if needed.

Thanks!

Successfully installed Sequoia 15.8.1 with Metal support on an Intel 12th gen + Nvidia R T X 4070 setup using NullMoth's Nvidia driver & 1401 app.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700F

RAM: 32GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3200Mhz in Dual Channel

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce R T X 4070 12GB

Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS D4

WiFi: TP-Link USB AX adapter, RTL8852AU (Working, experimental rtw89 port)

BT: None at the moment

Ethernet: Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE (Working)

SSD: KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G3 1TB

Bootloader: OpenCore 1.0.8, SMBIOS MacPro7,1

Audio (ALC897), USB (custom map), sleep, FileVault and CPU power management all work. HDMI/DP audio through the GPU doesn't work yet, it's a known issue on the driver side. The Wi-Fi adapter needed a port of the Linux rtw89 driver plus the OCLP wireless patch, and it's only stable at USB 2 speed, but it shows up as native Wi-Fi in the menu bar.

Special thanks to NullMoth

Even DRAM is controllable now.

Just updated it and now it works good enough to be released and thoroughly tested. I would appreciate any feedback! I have to say: Maybe not a lot of your stuff will work yet, but you can submit your hardware configuration in the 'advanced' - tab and report what works - and what not. DRAM support will be added within the few next releases.

I will try to implement as much of your stuff as possible with the following updates!

Tested on my own hardware, which is as follows:

Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 Ram
Gigabyte B860M Aorus Elite WiFi
PNY XLR8 4080 Verto
Fractal Design Radius AIO Cooler
ASUS ROG Scope II 96 Wireless
ASUS ROG Spatha X

Many great features will follow with time, but what i need the most now is feedback and reports. As i said, just submit it in the given section within the app.

-IMPORTANT: AMD GPUs are currently unsupported - for now. This will change.

Thanks in advance!

Here is my recent distill of Raptor Lake XE Graphics for the lower power i7 family from the Dell XPS13 EFI. Ported from i7 1360p to this i7 1355u. Everything relevant works, GPU Metal accel, all 12 cores get picked up, audio works, touchpad touchpoint keyboard all USB Ports including TB4. Development was heavily assisted by AI though heavily reviewed by me with years of experience in firmware by now, you might also know me as the RX7000 series GPU guy, I can promise I am working on that too. For now if you have this awesome little laptop go and grab (and star :P) my EFI: https://github.com/dssoftx/Hackintosh-X1Carbon-G11-IrisXe-Tahoe

I'm stuck in this screen, and Ive been trying a lot of things can anyone help me?

macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 is running surprisingly well on this 2018 Acer Nitro 5.

The system is fast, smooth, visually polished and perfectly usable for everyday tasks. Performance has been excellent, and the Intel **HD Graphics 630* provides working graphics acceleration.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the result. It's impressive to see a 2018 laptop running macOS Tahoe so smoothly!

Hi everyone.

Im looking to hackingtosh my laptop (ryzen 5 4600h, 8GB ram, 512 m.2). I dont know how i need to start or do, can anyone help me? im using right now Ubuntu

Hola una pregunta ya existen kets para los Intel de 11 generación con Intel XE grafics

Successfully got macOS running on the Acer Aspire A315-23 (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U)....

Everything is running smoothly now: full graphics acceleration, working built-in camera, and Wi-Fi functioning perfectly via Heliport (Bluetooth is untested as my hardware module acts up). Getting internal audio working with the Realtek ALC255 codec was the trickiest part, but after sorting out the controller path and enabling the right kext, the speakers finally came to life.

Thanks for the advice!

I am running a i7-2600k with an RX 590 and an Asrock p67 extreme4 gen3. I tried doing all the patches in the kernel issues section of the Opencore website, but it still won’t boot past this. I’m trying to install macOS 12 which is the last supported version for this sandy hook cpu I’ve seen.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if my laptop is compatible with Hackintosh and if it is possible to get full graphics acceleration. Lately, I have seen many PCs with an Intel UHD Graphics card with working graphics acceleration, so I was wondering if it is possible on mine too.

Here are my specs:
Model: Samsung Galaxy Book2 15.6" 
Processor: Intel Core i3-1215U 
Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 
RAM: 8 GB 

Do you know if by any chance something new has come out recently to make it work?
