I decided to Hackintosh my PC for 2 reasons:
Full specs: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ASUS ROG Strix B350-F Gaming, BIOS revision 5603 2x EVGA GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB Superclocked Edition (GK106 core, planning to get a GTX 690 once I find one for sub-$150) 32GB DDRR 3333 (overclocked from 3200 C16-18-18-36 to 3333 C16-16-16-24) Crucial MX500 500GB OpenCore 0.6.6 2x 1080p60 monitors (no idea what models) Intel I211-AT Ethernet Random USB Bluetooth adapter that works with my Magic Mouse 1 ASUS SupremeFX S1220A Used a guide on manjaro.site for setting up the bootloader, the rest was from dortania.github.io iMessage and FaceTime are working, and I have no VRAM leak bug. UUID is MacPro7,1. Additionally, LAN, Bluetooth, audio, etc. works fine. It's as if I have a real Mac. I edited one of the .strings files in the macOS System folder, so an "Unknown" CPU shows up as "6-Core AMD Ryzen 5 3600", giving me "3.6 GHz 6-Core AMD Ryzen 5", which is the same format as Apple does the Core i5 one. I'm also working on compiling a list for what values correspond to what macOS ID's your processor as. I also edited a file in my Users folder so that it says Hack Pro (2021), not Mac Pro (2019). I did remove the RAM allocation error, though not with RestrictEvents.kext. I decided to manually map my memory. And it worked! Here is my About this Mac screen: If I messed something up in this post, go ahead and tell me. I rarely use Reddit so I'm unfamiliar with the way post formatting works. I can add pictures of the tower/setup if you'd like, but there's nothing special about it - this was designed to be a Windows box and I only Hackintoshed because some things went my way and I wanted to use some Mac programs. I will be staying within NVidia Kepler cards since AMD software just does not like my Windows install and I like GeForce Experience, but that's not really a problem for me since the most demanding game I run is Relics of the Past (Breath of the Wild mod) via Cemu. My current cards can do 15 FPS and a GTX 690 should hit 30 FPS easily. Additionally, if there's anything else you would like to see (like my config.plist or kexts folder), go ahead and ask!
