I've built a few PCs, and I've been lurking in this forum and thinking about building in the Ghost for some time. Well, here it is! My late 2013 iMac began to show it's age, so this is a Hackintosh build to replace my beloved iMac. Still a lot of configuration and tuning to do, but I've got Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina up and running and Wifi is working.
NOTE: If your wifi is turning off as soon as you turn it on, be sure that you used those little washers (dielectrics) between boards. They are critical!
Bluetooth is working, and I can transfer files to and from my phone, but can't connect to an apple mouse, or my keyboard. This is my current focus, getting the bluetooth working properly. If anyone has the same hardware and can shed some light on this issue, I'd appreciate it.
I used the Vanilla install guide, and these two guides to get up and running (after a lot of trial and error).
