Graphics Acceleration Using NootedRed

Graphics Acceleration Using NootedRed

I managed to get Big Sur running on my Ryzen PC with following specs -

  • CPU - Ryzen 7 5700G (Cezzane)
  • iGPU - Radeon Vega 8
  • dGPU - RTX 3070 Ti
  • Motherboard - Asus Tuf Gaming B550 Wifi Plus
  • RAM - 16x2 GB DDR4 3600MHz memory (dual channel)

I followed the Dortania guide to create the USB installer and included all AMD patches as suggested. I also included NootedRed kext to enable my 5700G's iGPU. I also made the following changes in my BIOS -

  1. Web browsing (specially videos) is painfully slow and graphics in some apps break a lot

I am yet to try out other aspects/functionalities of MacOS as I want to fix the GPU issue before that.

Here is my config.plist file.

Any leads/help on these issues would be great! Thanks!

slow boot

Since upgrading to Monterey I've been experiencing painfully slow boots on my Hackintosh. I consider myself to be a novice when it comes to debugging issues like that.

I Would love it if some of you would be willing to take a peek at my boot log in hopes that it points me in the direction of what possibly could be causing the issue. Any feedback would be appreciated.

For context, here are my HW specs.

Seeking Guidance: Installing Hackintosh on AMD Ryzen 5 5500U

Seeking Guidance: Installing Hackintosh on AMD Ryzen 5 5500U

Hello Reddit community,

I am currently seeking guidance regarding the feasibility of installing Hackintosh on an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU, specifically within an Honor laptop . I understand that installing Hackintosh on AMD APUs can be challenging, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights from those who have successfully accomplished this task. It is worth mentioning that I am using an Honor laptop, which comes with an Honor BIOS. I understand that BIOS compatibility is crucial for a successful Hackintosh installation

Thank you in advance for your support and contributions. I look forward to hearing from the community and benefiting from your expertise.

My 2015 laptop to convert into macos

Hey, so I have a HP ProBook 430 G3

i5-6200u 2.3GHz 16GB Dual Channel 798MHz Intel HD 520 With 8GB shared video memory And of course right now windows 10. So my question is can I install macOS? If yes than whats the best one for me? And will I be able to game on it? And will my performance drop hard or it will stay the same? I really love MacOS design and I really want to install it if possible. Thanks for all the help!

Upcycled my older gaming rig to a Big Sur iMac19,1

  • i7-8600K / Coffeelake
  • Asus Strix Z370-E
  • 32GB DDR4 G-Skill 2133 MHz
  • Radeon RX 6600
  • Intel Ethernet
  • Realtek Wifi (not configed)
  • NVME M2 Samsung EVO 970 pro

Kexts: NVMeFix.kext IntelMausi.kext AppleALC.kext WhateverGreen.kext SMCSuperIO.kext SMCProcessor.kext VirtualSMC.kext Lilu.kext

I am using debug mode and prebuilds just to get proof of concept, going to reconfigure and make custom files next. I need to tweak usb settings, dial in gpu, and upgrade to newer os.

everything is pretty much working out of the box. i haven't tested bluetooth, but headphones audio, screen display, and usb is working.

This is a really fun build process, great community, and just enough hacking pain and puzzles to make for an awesome project!

Took about 3 days of tinkering.

Good luck out there!

Ran into issues with- - usb stick not being in usb2.x port - slowly but surely collected feedback with log files and found direct documentation OC fixes for common problems, or no problems finding in the community. (Look for the Err at the end of the log and then google it with your motherboard) - I was lucky enough to have a decent architecture for this build (Z370), I have been wanting to do this project and took advantage of cheap Radeon card prices. - When I do a rebuild i will document all the quirks i had, but almost every issue was either bios, or a config.plist edit. - Make sure you update your BIOS on mobo, and use a usb stick to download the newest (v. 3005 on may 25 2023). Do not trust the built in bios updater, mine told me i was up to date with an old bios, and i lost a day of troubleshooting thinking i have the newest version.

Truly pumped about this, thanks again yall

Almost perfect install on HP Probook 640 G1

Would 128gb be enough for Hackintosh.

Hey, I want to install macOS on my pc on a 128gb ssd that I don't have a use for. I have a 500gb nvme that I was planning on using for shared space between macOS and Windows. Is 128gb enough to just get the base system installed?

macOS Monterey on good old ThinkPad X230

OpenCore Picker (default/builtin) doesn't display at all when booting - Acer Extensa 2540

So I've been trying to reinstall MacOs Big Sur into an Acer Extensa 2540 and when getting to the picker, it does not display anything at all. The inputs seem to be working but the display is completely dark. I've tried to unplug and replug the hdmi, and turning the display on and off, but the screen just stays black

The system specs are:

Intel i3-6006U @ 2.00GHz

12 GBs of SODIMM Ram

I don't know the motherboard model due to it being a laptop, unfortunately.

And in any case, it worked before a few OpenCore versions ago, around 0.7.8 if I recall correctly but currently doesn't work at all.

And important note: I am not using the integrated display. I removed it long ago so I use an external HDMI display instead.

The log file is here in case it's needed (latest boot)

here's the plist as well

How to fix OpenCore Bootloader with Windows 11

Hi there I managed to install macOS on an HP laptop using the OpenCore method (Someone checked the EFI files and it said orliana or smthin but BIOS says OpenCore so idk anymore) and macOS works fine. But I decided to install another drive into the laptop since it supports 1 M.2 and 1 SATA. The M.2 had macOS and the SATA had Windows 11 Installed. When I boot Windows 11 from the BIOS picker it has no problems, but if I load Windows 11 from OpenCore bootloader it Blue Screens and Says ACPI BIOS ERROR. After Windows Blue screens the laptop just refuses to boot until I reseat the memory. Tried getting help from the hackintosh discord server but no use as they only want me to use OpenCore which is what the BIOS claims. Any help pls Picking the OS from the BIOS is annoying when I could use the bootloder.

are AMD GPUs just plug and play?

I am getting a RX 6600 XT card for my hackintosh. According to Dortania guide on GPUs the Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts are required and my EFI already has them. Does this mean that the GPU is plug-and-play and will just start working after it's installed? (I may need to add a boot argument but that is a small detail that will only take a minute)

Catalina Open Core Wifi Not Working

Hi all!

I finally transferred from Clover Configurator to Open Core. It solved my long ongoing problem of VEGA 56 card not outputting second HDMI output, so that is such a relief that it's working now.
But now my wifi is not working (it was before), and sometimes the system/audio freezes for a few seconds, there is a freezing glitching sound and a lag, then it unfreezes after 2-6 seconds. Has anyone experienced this? It happens once in a few hours.
Does this have something to do with ACPI...
