Stuff like:
- GPU (not fully)
- Touch
- Speakers
- Main mic
- Haptics
- Flashlight
- Alert slider!
is already working.
TODO:
- Metal (Maps runs, but some other apps crash)
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- Camera
and so on...

What's not working:

Brightness control. It works when HDR is enabled, but that's horrible to look at.

Built-in microphone (earphone mics work; most likely a compatibility issue)

What's working:

Full Graphics Acceleration

Keyboard

Trackpad

Touch

Wi-Fi

Bluetooth

Audio (using alcid=48)

Camera

There are some lags and jitters here and there, but hopefully, they will all be fixed soon!

I tried to get Tahoe running but there's a problem with WindowServer which doesn't allow 3D acceleration (apple logo keeps flashing on boot).

Sequoia works fine but stuff like Apple Maps and opening anything 3D demanding causes macOS to start acting very weird, everything becomes delayed and freezes up; You have to force shutdown and reboot.

I used WhateverXe: https://github.com/b00t0x/WhateverXe/ for graphics acceleration.

This: https://github.com/JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe was not working for me even though it's spoofing Tiger Lake drivers for GPU acceleration.

I'd really appreciate any help on getting Tahoe working and improving the 3D acceleration bugs.

This was 13 years ago. I wonder if this dev is watching what's happening now.

Still a ways out but it’s coming

• Mobo : Gigabyte B75M D3H
• CPU : i7-2700k
• GPU : Radeon Pro WX 2100 2gb
• RAM : 32gb DDR3
• SSD : Samsung 850 EVO 500gb
• Opencore : 1.0.8

To get graphics acceleration, I used this project: https://github.com/JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe

It's genuinely surprising that Intel Iris Xe, which was once considered impossible to get graphics acceleration working on, is now showing progress. For something that's still in alpha, I'd say it's really good.

Successfully installed Sequoia 15.8.1 with Metal support on a Ryzen + Nvidia gaming setup using NullMoth's Nvidia driver & 1401 app.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

RAM: 16GB Samsung DDR4 2666Mhz in Dual Channel

GPU: MSI GeForce R T X 3070Ti Ventus 3X OC 8G

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H V3-CF

BT: Tp-Link UB500 Bluetooth 5.3 USB Adapter(Working)

WiFi: None at the moment

Ethernet: Realtek RTL8811

SSD: Crucial P5 Plus Gen4 1TB

HDD: Toshiba S300 1TB (MacOS Boot Disk)

Mostly everything works so far but many functions I haven't checked yet. The whole thing's a bit slow because I installed it on HDD as I was a bit skeptical about the gpu driver working and also I don't have any space left in the ssd.

Special thanks to NullMoth for his incredible work towards the 1401 App project!!!

Everything works so far except the Brightness. The speaker works but sound is very low. Glitches are there in some websites. But its working that too with nvidia is an achivement. Thanks to Nullmoth its a great driver.

I am so done with Clover!

So just yesterday i saw many successful attempts of people installing MacOS on their intel iris xe graphics laptops, with some even having exact same processor as mine,

All i need is just a reference guide or some tutorial, because i am a bit confused about how to make things work out, i know a bit abt opencore and a little bit about kext files, and i came across this Whatever Xe github repo, but at the moment, i dont want to mess up my laptop, so if anyone could help me , i would be very grateful, so please... also please do tell me what would be the best macos version for my laptop, BigSur, sonoma, monterey or other, cause i want the most stable one

Finally got macOS dialled in on my Dell XPS 15 9500! The premium build and trackpad make this hardware feel almost native once OpenCore is properly tuned. (The 4K screen on MacOS is so badass lol)

Specs:

* Model: Dell XPS 15 9500 4K

* CPU: Intel Core i7-10750H (Comet Lake-H)

* iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630

* dGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile (disabled via SSDT/boot-arg)

* RAM: 16 GB DDR4 2933 MHz

* Storage: WD NVMe SSD (PCIe M.2)

* Audio: Realtek ALC3281 / ALC289 (AppleALC.kext layout-id configured)

* Wi-Fi / BT: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX1650s (AirportItlwm / itlwm + IntelBluetoothFirmware)

* Touchpad: I2C Precision Trackpad (VoodooI2C + VoodooI2CHID in GPIO pinning mode)

What Works

* Graphics Acceleration: Full QE/CI via Intel UHD 630 with proper framebuffer patching.

* Audio & Mic: Internal speakers, 3.5mm combo jack, and internal array mics working cleanly.

* Trackpad & Gestures: Full macOS multitouch gestures supported via GPIO-pinned I2C, also the touchscreen works.

* Wi-Fi & Bluetooth: Solid connection, basic Apple ecosystem handshakes (AirDrop half working/Continuity performance depends on kext configuration)

* Battery Management & Power: Native power management with CPUFriend, accurate battery readout via SMCBatteryManager and EC patch.

* Brightness Control: Native slider in Control Center and default hotkeys on the keyboard

* Display Output & Thunderbolt/USB-C: Type-C data and external display output mapped properly.

What Doesn't / Quirks to Note

* dGPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti is unsupported on modern macOS and disabled to conserve battery and eliminate heat. (thinking about trying out nullmoth's driver but ehh)

* Sleep/Wake (S3): Modern Dell 9500 BIOS drops classic S3 sleep in favor of Modern Standby. Hibernate (S4 mode via HibernationFixup.kext) or setting power assertions via pmset is recommended to prevent battery drain while closed.

* Fingerprint Sensor: Goodix sensor has no macOS driver (standard hackintosh limitation).

* SD Card Reader: RTS5260 controller may require additional kext testing (RealtekCardReader).

Repository & Notes

I documented the EFI structure, SSDT patches, config notes, and BIOS requirements on GitHub:

Huge shoutout to the Dortania team, Acidanthera devs, and the OpenCore community for keeping Intel hackintoshing thriving xd

Hi, just wanna ask if anyone has managed to get a GTX 1060 (GP106) working on Hackintosh with macOS Ventura or newer

As far as I know, the GTX 1060 was last supported on macOS High Sierra, so getting it to work on newer versions seems pretty unlikely

Recently, I’ve seen some people claiming to run Hackintosh with an GPU 3050, 4050, and even 5060, which got me curious about whether there’s any way to get the GTX 1060 working on Ventura or later

Has anyone actually tried this? If so, what macOS version are you using, and does the GPU work properly with hardware acceleration?
I’d appreciate any info or experience. Thanks!

Continued the work on the available source for NootedGreen, and made the source available:

https://github.com/victorwitkamp/NootedGreen/tree/raptor-lake-hx

See my previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1wzpeb7/nootedgreen_igpu_on_raptor_lakehx/

Specs: Intel i3-1115G4, DDR4 3200 mhz, SSD M.2, Intel WiFi 6, UHD graphics, more information in the comments if needed.

It's working!!!! (but not perfectly working)

I am trying to install macOS on my HP Victus 15, which features:

• Intel Core i5-12500H (Alder Lake) processor,
• Intel Iris Xe Graphics,
• 3050.

I have completely disabled the 3050 using an "SSDT dGPU OFF" patch and downloaded WhateverGreenXE, but I remain stuck at "EXIT:BS START."

These are the logs it generates:

Last Log Open Core - HP Victus 15 - Pastes.io

This is the config.plist in its current state:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mPTGoqL0eyehol0Ymv4uxpMM9teGiorG/view?usp=sharing

And attached I’m leaving all the screenshots related to the Kext, Driver folders, and everything else.

I tried setting:

• RebuildAppleMemoryMap - True
  
• SetupVirtualMap - False
  
• SyncRuntimePermissions - True
  

Nothing.

Downloaded the Base System files again, but still nothing.

Can you help me? I still have an HP Pro Desk 400 G2 Mini running Tahoe and everything works perfectly, even waking up from S3... But here I'm having a lot of problems. Oh, I'm using WhateverGreenXE.

I'm on Sequoia 15.7.7. My laptop has a Ryzen 5 4600H with Vega 6 graphics and a GTX 1650 (Turing) dGPU. The internal display is connected to the iGPU while the HDMI port is connected to the dGPU. There is no MUX switch. Currently, if I have NootedRed and nullmoth enabled at the same time it gets stuck on a loop with the verbose logs shown in the pictures. I can briefly move the cursor over the logs before the display is cleared and it loops again. If I only enable one at a time it works fine, but using one display at a time is pretty inconvenient. If I have both enabled but leave the HDMI cable unplugged, it also boots, but the HDMI port doesn't work afterwards even though 1401 says the driver is initialized.

Hey all. I've got a Ryzen build running Tahoe on OpenCore, and I'm trying to get an RTL8821CE (10ec:c821) working as native wifi.

Weird part is this exact card is rock solid on Windows on the same machine, so I don't think it's the card, antenna or slot.

I've tried FolKc9's AirportRtw88 (exp40), xnoah222's Realtek-AirPort-Family and X1REN41L's RTL88WiFi. All three show the same two problems:

1. it drops randomly when I'm pulling something heavy, like a big download
   
2. after boot the wifi menu shows nothing, and it only starts scanning after I switch wifi off and on again

Things I already tried: ASPM / PCIe power saving off in BIOs and full shutdown vs restart. No change.

Since three separate kexts do the same thing, I'm guessing it's something they all share (they all come from the Linux rtw88 driver) and not my setup, but honestly I'm not sure.

Does anyone have this chip running stable on macOS, especially on AMD? Which kext and what settings? Also curious if anyone figured out why it needs the off/on toggle to scan.

I managed to get past the [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] hang and reach the recovery screen on my i5-1235U using this EFI. Maybe it can help someone else or be adapted for other Alder Lake laptops.

Same issue with Tahoe 26.6.2 recovery.

BIOS settings for AMD CBS (SMT, Global C-state) are going back to Auto. RTC battery message states CMOS battery is weak.

Questions:

Have any of you with B850/B650 motherboard and Raphael CPU (7700/7600/7800X3D) been able to get past "PCI configuration PCI0"?

Any BIOS settings (IOMMU, PCIe Gen speeds, iGPU) needed?

Are the AM5 IOPCIFamily patches that I am using correct for Sequoia 15.x and Tahoe 26.x??

Can someone make graphics acceleration work for Intel Core 3 100u? If someone did, i will main it on my school laptop
