Greetings frens! I have a question that bugz me so I wanted to address it to this community. I will call things with their real names, so if I penalize any rules, forgive me. First timer.

Long story short - long time hackintosh user. UniBeast and MultiBeast seems to work best for me.

Specs:

Haswell

CPU i7 4790 (non K version)

MOBO AsRock Z97 Anniversary

RAM 32 GB Corsair 1333/1600 MHz with XMP1.3

GPU Asus Strix RX 470 8GB OC

Works like butter. As I am in many hackintosh channels and subreddits etc. I see rise of OpenCore. I read that it's the ultimate way to bring macOS to its potential. I've watched some basic OpenCore installations and I get the fundamentals behind it.

My question is how big or small of an improvement I will get if I successfully manage to install it? Not that it's not good right now, but I feel I am not covering all components to their potential with tonymac...

I'm using it generally for music making and some web surfing. All SSDs and HDDs crossing, Fusion Drive and RAIDs are possible if needed. Thank you if you're taking the time answering.

PS: This post was in a FB group but it wasn't for hackintoshes so I just copy paste it here. May have small irrelevant details that are not needed here. Too lazy to be polite again :)

I'm doing a fresh install of Catalina on a new build following the tonymacx86 guide. I can get to the Apple logo screen, but when the loading bar is a little over half full my screen cuts to black and then the computer restarts 5-10 minutes later.

Here are the last lines of verbose mode before it cuts out: https://i.imgur.com/nUvDnQP.jpg

All of my parts were pulled from the tonymacx86 compatibility list:

Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi

CPU: Intel i9-9900k

GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XT

When going back and rereading their buyer's guide, I noticed that it said the RX 5700 XT will only work on Catalina 10.15.2+. My Catalina install software was downloaded from a MBP running Mojave 10.14.6. This may be a dumb question, but does the OS X updater download 10.15.1 to install, or does it default to the latest patch (I believe 10.15.6)? If it is 10.15.1, what's the best workaround to get it up and running so I can update to 10.15.2?

Edit: Of course the answer to finding the software version shows up in a Google search right after I post, it looks like it's the installer for 10.15.6. I think that raises more questions than it answers though, since the RX 5700 XT should be compatible with this version. Any thoughts on what could be causing the issue?

Is every RAM compatible with macOS?

I'm going to get a new PC and have 2 options: 1. 16G (2×8G) XPG DDR4 - 3600MHZ CL18 GAMMIX D30 BLACK 2. T-FORCE 16G (2x8G) 3600 Mhz DARK ZA BLACK

Also which one of these is better for gaming?

Please share easy steps

I've followed this guide and installed macOS Catalina in the VMware player on AMD CPU. It boots fine and I even got VMware tools to work. The problem is that a keyboard and a mouse are working about 1 out of 100 times, it's pretty random and I can't understand how to get it to work. I'm trying to use a PS/2 keyboard, USB keyboard, and USB mouse.

Hi

I installed catalina (opencore 0.6.0) but fonts is blurry. Every trick were unsuccessful :(

What do you think for non retina display the best solution is high sierra to have sharp fonts?

Hi All,

I have recently got my system up and running and everything is working great after following MikeMods 'Everything Works' guide to Asus z390, although his component are different - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...apphire-nitro-radeon-rx-vega-64-build.272572/

The one remaining issue which I have been unable to solve is the issue of a graphics glitch when booted into macOS which randomly stutters when moving the mouse, moving a window or scrolling across the dock. At times the issue resolves itself, then it seems to come back randomly for no particular reason. This is happening on all outputs of the graphics card (2 x HDMI, 2 x DP). I have searched all over Google and this forum and despite many people experiencing something similar, I have never come across a fix when carrying out the recommended steps.

I have pasted below a link to my EFI folder if anyone has the time to check it through. As far as I know, I have completed most of the steps that others have recommended - is there anything else I could try to help narrow down the issue?

I do know that the issue is not the mouse, as this works fine on a MacBook Pro. This is also happening on all 4 of the outputs of the GPU (2 x HDMI, 2 x DP). I have whatevergreen installed - assuming this is still needed?

Framebuffer = Orinoco
Platform ID = 0x3E980003 (Intel UHD Graphics 630)
InjectIntel = Yes

My motherboard is the Asus Maximus Hero XI (non-wifi)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I have interest in installing a dual boot macOS (mojave) on my current PC specs: CPU: ryzen 5 3600

Mobo: B450 Tomahawk max

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb 3600mhz

GPU: RTX 2070 super *

4 boot drives to choose from: 1tb NVME Samsung evo 500gb Samsung SATA SSD 2 traditional HDD (1tb, 2tb)

So I've done a little bit of research and realized my GPU is incompatible, on the grounds of lacking driver support. I have tried to follow this guide: https://youtu.be/0wACjS8XRLo; when I try to boot from USB media and restart, in the clover interface I get the 'prohibited sign' [🚫]. I presume this is because of my graphics card, although I am unsure. Can anyone confirm or deny these suspicions and provide help in regards to this issue? Is there a way to work around this with my 2070 super?

My intended use case for macOS is purely to utilize facetime/iMessage services without buying an actual apple device, given my hardware is this possible with any version of OS X? If there are any links/resources available to help me that would be amazing. Furthermore if this is not possible with my current graphics card, can I use my old AMD radeon HD 7970 as my display output and use this as a work around? If so please let me know and also let me know what version of OS X is in my best interest given my situation (with links to resources if possible please and thank you). Thank you in advance for your time, and I especially appreciate any and all help!

Hi. I am very new to hackintosh and would appreciate any help.

I was originally looking at coffee lake but when I looked into the 10th gen processors it seemed better to future proof my system.

I am struggling to find good info on an easy comet lake build that isn’t too expensive. Ideally a motherboard under £200 would be great.

Can anyone help me out with suggestions and links to a build?

If it is possible, has anyone tried with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14? I'm considering buying one amd would enjoy having both Windows 10 for gaming and macOS for productivity (I like the Notes app mor than MS Word for writing, I wanna try FCP etc)

So I've searched through past posts on here, but the users on the past posts didn't seem to report any updates on their hackintosh attempts on an ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW (https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS-ZenBook-Pro-UX501VW/specifications/).

I'm interested in Catalina if that's even possible.

Does anyone have this laptop or similar with some success?

Ok so, I've tried to install hackintosh with Clover for windows, well after installation it just didn't boot to ssd. Neither to Mac OS. So I'm wondering, is there any way to install it on HDD and windows on SSD and use both? Thank you.

Have a Dell T3610 with an E5-1620 v2 CPU, is there a way to enable XCPM or am I stuck with AICPUPM? Everything I can find online mentions Ivy Bridge-E is compatible, but nothing about Ivy Bridge-EP, and I haven’t had any luck making it work.

Also wondering about SMBIOS choices - MacPro6,1 would be closest in general for this machine, but I have a RX570 and wondering if iMacPro1,1 would be more beneficial to get best value out of the GPU?

I am trying to install macOS Mojave on my G570. I haven't installed Hackintosh before so I am a complete noob. So far, I managed to boot the installer but the trackpad and keyboard weren't working. Can anyone send me the working kexts and config plist if you have the same device?

I want to give a MacOS KVM a try, and I am on a arch linux host.
As my laptop has only one integrated Intel's UHD 620 GPU, Is that possible to passthrough iGPU to MacOS KVM?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

I have macOS and Windows 10 installed on separate drives that I can boot on startup, but I'm wondering if it's possible to boot both simultaneously? Could I possibly boot the Windows 10 drive as a VM in macOS or something like that?

I would very much appreciate some help from you guys. Thanks in advance!

I just bought an AMD 3900X and setup a hackintosh but unfortunately it does not support docker. So I have had to move to Ubuntu.

I was wondering if there was any status on this or am I to hope that Apple one day uses AMD cpus?

after mounting a partition on my virtualbox vm and opening the partition the clover directory isn't showing any advice. i'm trying to make apple id and icloud work.

I am trying to change from clover to Opencore on my already working Mojave hackintosh. I want to test Opencore before I upgrade my main rig.

The computer is a Broadwell i3 5005U mini pc. Works flawlessly with clover.

I am able to boot into Opencore and get to the installer screen from a USB. However, if I take the same EFI that works on the USB and use it on my already installed SSD I get this error at boot then it restarts to BIOS in a loop.

I followed the vanilla guide through multiple times and thought it would just work fine but it won't even boot.

I can't find anything on google relating to this error. Does it 7 times.

OCS: no schema for Arch at index 6, context <Add> ! OCS: no schema for Arch at index 6, context <Add> ! OCS: no schema for Arch at index 6, context <Add> !

OCS: no schema for Arch at index 6, context <Add> ! 

Maybe something with APFS since the USB works? I have no idea.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

i try opencore like 3 days and end up with my ssd is not support for it, so i'm curious that is this Samsung ssd will be supported in future? or just sell it and buy supported one.

ps. i dont really need to use hackintosh for now so i can wait if it will be supported some how in the future

I have Hackintosh and Windows on separate SSD's, so I read somewhere that when you run windows via OC you are running lesser version of Windows. My question is, is that true and if yes, can you make OC boot loader to run windows boot loader when you select to run Windows trough it?

on my intel Hackintosh appleALC works fine but the problem is, volume is very low ( half as compared to windows ) on 3.5 mm headphones. HDMI audio works in AppleALC

VooDooHDA has good volume but HDMI audio is not working

is there any fix to get normal volume with AppleALC or Working HDMI audio with VooDooHDA ?

Hey all,

After reading a bit about open core and seeing prices on these Optiplexes I finally pulled the trigger. I got an OptiPlex 9020 with i7 4770. Threw in 16 GB of ram and a 1TB SSD and set in for what I figured would be a tough weekend project! I actually have gotten farther tonight than I anticipated, all the way to the macos install screen. The only problem was I had no mouse/keyboard any longer.

I have noticed my usb mouse loses power after I start the install from opencore.

I also have to unplug and plug my install drive in at one point every time to get past it.

At this point I’m considering starting over fresh instead of modifying the Optihack that was posted here awhile ago.

Anyone have any experience with these Optiplexes and USB?

Thanks!

Is it possible to remove prebuilt apps like Podcasts, Books and TV etc

I dont use them and was wonder if i could remove them just like how you could do on Windows

Hi,

I had good signal with my Magic Mouse and magic keyboard both at around -50db, but now today the Magic Mouse sits at around -70db making it virtually unusable.

It’s weird that the keyboard does not have any issues.... I swapped my Magic Mouse for the magic track pad and it was fine for a few hours and then out of no where same issue.... mouse is super laggy across the screen

I just got my hack working on Wednesday night and I had placed it on top of my 8in studio monitor not realizing how much vibration the bass would cause. I’m wondering If the vibration dislodged the antenna cables that come out of the m.2 WiFi/BT card? I had just installed the cables Wednesday night and the computer/case sat through 14-18 hours of med-strong vibration.

Since the BT problem started I’ve put the case/computer on the table where I managed to make some space (cramped desk rn so the monitor seemed like an ideal location please don’t skewer me).

No other issues, and no devices that would be causing interference. If there was, or if I had loosened a cable connection, why do I see the signal drop off so poorly on the Magic Mouse but not the Magic Keyboard?

Is there any potential SW explanation for this? I’m on high Sierra and don’t have issues with my MBP that is also on high Sierra. I don’t think there is a SW reason for this but if there is anything y’all have heard of lmk. The fact that the keyboard has no connectivity issues has me suspicious, it never even hits -60db, stays around -50 to -55 db

Thanks!!!!

I upgraded my PC from a Z97 motherboard and i5-4690K CPU to a Z390 motherboard and 9600K CPU. I was able to preserve my Windows installation with few problems except for the expected driver issues for new hardware. Before I swapped motherboards, my install of High Sierra had been working flawlessly. But when I tried to boot OS-X, it fails to boot almost immediately. I originally installed it as a stand-alone OS. (I unplugged every other drive before installation). I have to start it from the BIOS/UEFI boot menu when I start my PC. All I get though is a very brief Apple Logo, then a circle with an slash. I have checked online to try to make sure I have the BIOS settings correct for my new motherboard. Things like disable Vt-d ect. But I always get the same result with the circle-slash boot failure.

I imagine I will need to re-install from scratch, but I was just wondering if anyone might have an easy fix for this issue so I can save myself the hassle of reinstalling.

My Specs:

OS-X High Sierra

Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Master Motherboard

Core i5-9600K CPU

32GB DDR4 RAM

SATA 3TB HDD for install Drive
