I want to see what macos feels like on my old laptop but only have a 2gb usb stick :( id like something like mac os tiger i think its called? Something older not new

Hey, its my first time that I am doing hackintosh. I was manage to dual bot sonoma on my Dell laptop, but it says I have only 7mb graphics. I tried everything, but still, I only get 7mb graphics. It’s pretty annoying, the background is always white and has no blur etc… also HDMi port isn’t working. I am pretty new to hackintosh so I may have done something wrong. I would be happy to get some help! My laptop is dell vostro 5391 CPU: intel i5-1035g1 GPU: Intel UHD graphics

My Hack runs macOS Big Sur and the mouse wheel scrolling is the opposite that it should be (up is down/down is up). Anyone has a clue how to fix that ?

So I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar I'd love to put Sonoma on but am honestly so confused on how todo it. Obviously at first the process is simple. Create a USB using the Mac's original SMBIOS within the patcher app and Sonoma but here is where the problem lies - When I install Sonoma I get no TouchBar or Touch ID. Weirdly, I do get a little esc button on the TouchBar in the MacOS Basesystem recovery thingy majig for Sonoma but that's about it, nothing after that.

I was told to keep Monterey and somehow upgrade to Sonoma from that but I'm confused.

This is my output.

Kernel->Quirks->CustomSMBIOSGuid is enabled, but PlatformInfo->UpdateSMBIOSMode is not set to Custom!

CheckKernel returns 1 error!

Its on a Dell SFF Precision 3420 7700 32gb DDR4 1TB ssd Intel 630 intel NIC

UpdateSMBIOS is a boolean .. Does this result want me to change it to a string?

What is the best Metal capable card I can use in a Mac Pro 5,1 supported in OCLP?

So this was the fastest hackintosh i've ever did,

My laptop is lenovo e14
i5-10 gen

8G RAM

256 NVME

Really smooth install without any issue using OpenCore docs, however, i don't have any sound, or bluetooth but i'm not worried about bluetooth now

I've used Apple ALC kext for sound and followed the below doc for fixing sound

https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/audio.html#fixing-audio-with-applealc

I found that my codec is (Conexant CX8070/CX11880) and i should use (alcid=15 or 21) unfortunately they're not working, i tried to use SSDT-HPET fixes but still no luck

Hackintool doesn't even show any sound devices, and connecting HDMI doesn't either show audio device

So I had installed Monterey on my Hackbook and was running it with an intel Wifi card. Handoff was half working and messages used to sync pretty quickly and almost always.

So whenever I got a text on my iPhone, I used to get it almost at the same time on my laptop.

Now, I swapped the intel card with a BCM94360CS2 card and everything works perfectly except messages and phone calls.

90% of the time the messages simply dont arrive on my hack and almost all the time whenever I get a call on my phone, it wont show up on my hack

I am able to transfer calls to the hack once I pickup from my phone and iMessage does work.

I havent reset the nvram or anything after the wifi card swap

Any help would really be appreciated. Thankyou!

Was anyone able to record the screen with QT?

I can start the recording but then no controls are visible to stop it and save.

I have a iMac13,2 runnning Sonoma 14.3.1

Finally got Ventura running on my ASUS X510UN

CPU- i7-8550 u, Gpu- Intel UHD 620, SSD- WD green, RAM- 8 GB
Only problem is that bluetooth and touchpad aren't working. Pls help in it..
Thanks

Hello, anyone solved the problems of audio glitches on Sonoma with Opencore with devices over usb?

I have a usb digital mixer Bheringer x32 ch, and if I simple listen a file no problems, but every time I try a professional audio application there are a lot of glitches... only I can set the audio buffer like to 1024 to avoid glitches .. with the normal high Sierra no problems.. and I work with normal 128buffer or 64ms.

Please help!

Hello everyone,
It's my first time to attempt a hackintosh but i want to do it dual boot.
I am also kinda scared that I will lose my data so I thought this sub is a better place to ask about my doubts before beginning with anything.

My specs are,
Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)

Language: English (Regional Setting: English)

System Manufacturer: ASUS

System Model: Z790 H Gaming Wi-Fi

BIOS: 0813 (type: UEFI)

Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K (32 CPUs), ~3.0GHz

Memory: 32 GB RAM

Which Mac OS is best suitable for this build?

​

I've been on a mission to find the highest end parts that will work for a solid hack, capable of running Sonoma, since I plan to dual-boot it into windows for higher end games, VR, etc. After reading a lot of guides, researching parts, etc. I think I have my final list, and I'd love any feedback y'all might have:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VfvVyg

I'm particularly interested in feedback on the networking on the motherboard:

• Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 QCNCM865
• Marvell AQtion AQC107 10GbE LAN chip
• Intel 2.5GbE LAN chip

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. 😁

Hey everyone, I currently have a HP pavilion dk0056wm, and I decided to upgrade from Monterey to Sonoma. Everything was fine up until the first restart of the system, where boot args were going for about thirty seconds and then nothing for 2 minutes then a restart (in safe mode) to desktop. Problem is without safe mode I just get a black screen. I currently don’t have access to logs but here’s my specs and EFI:

HP Pavilion 15” dk0056wm CPU: Intel Core i5-9300h RAM: 16GB Crucial 2400MHz Storage: 256 GB KIOXIA drive (NVMe) GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (1650 disabled)

Also I use a Razer Huntsman TE and a DeathAdder v2 if that makes a difference

Thank you all for your help and consideration!

So for some time i wanted it to have. a mac laptop but they are way to expensive, So yes I went the Hackintosh way. Now I have sonoma installed on my hp notebook 15-dyxx, all seems fine to know. Wifi is working, graphics are working, trackpad is working, I know ice lake don't have HDMI support so that's ok for now.

After being a windows guy for over 25 years or more. I wanted to give mac a chance since I always see younlinks using cool software to edit video and music, and since I want my kids to start learning that path, I thought ill give. atry so I can start teaching my kids on how to use a mac and its apps.

So I got a few questions.

I know airdrop (whatever that is) is broken in sonoma with intel cards, I'm using a ax200 at the moment. What other things should I be aware of that are broken? I don't own an iPhone or an iPad so fancy features are not required yet. But what cool things can we do with a mac that are better here than in windows. So far I looked at google and the top mac software its available in windows to, so I'm not sure if it was worth the trouble. Whats so wonderful about having a mac?

thanks for your kind advice.

Hello, i neet to install mac in my pc cuz i'm started in flutter and i want to use xcode, so i search in youtube and many documents to how i do it but i'm lost. there is much methods i couldn't decide which method can work in my pc, can someone send my a video or any website to tell me how can i install mac in this pc

- GPU:RX6600

- Mobo: Asus ROG Strix Z690-I.

From what I've read in the hardware guide I should be fine, but I'm still new to this so I'd like to confirm it. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I'm in the process of planning my new PC build and deciding on how much storage I'll need. I'd like to be able to dual boot both Windows 11 and Mac OSX. Is this possible? What is the best way to go about this?

I'm thinking the following:

2 TB NVMe: Windows 11 + Win applications and games

2 TB NVMe: Mac OSX + Mac applications

4 TB HDD: Deep storage (already have a spare drive lying around for this)

PC won't turn on after Hackintosh the ports tried map ports are mapped after about 2 weeks PC won't turn in again after using Hackintosh the only way to turn on is press button then turn off and then turn on again are there any ways how to fix it?

Hello guys

I tried to install MacOS Sonoma on my Lenovo C640. However the installer doesn't boot. It freezes when the loading bar is at about half full. I already installed MacOS on VMware and also on Proxmox and i had a similar issue on Proxmox i think. It also stopped at about half and i realized i used the wrong OSK (with spaces and no (C)AppleInc). After editing the info in my vm.conf it worked flawlessly. So my question is how and where do i need to put the OSK? Sorry i'm quite new to hackintosh and i couldn't really find any adequate info online (googled for about 30 minutes). Is it even necessary? Why not (if not)?
Thank you!

Hi,

I've been making my hackintoshes for a long time; if my memory serves me correctly, I started with Snow Leopard. I never had any issues with it, always using the Dortania guide, until the day I updated my Monterrey to Ventura. It was working perfectly until after a few hours, when it started to freeze and reboot on its own, then I got an error saying that it crashed with a bunch of codes. I read, and watched many Forums and YouTube, I revised the EFI numerous times without getting any good results. Are there any of you here with a similar configuration that you've used with Ventura or Sonoma that resulted positively?

Configuration:

• Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z490 Aorus Master,
• Processor: Intel - Core i9-10900 10-core - 20-Thread - 2.8 GHz,
• Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe® M.2 SSD 1TB,
• Memory: HyperX Fury 32GB 3200MHz DDR4,
• Graphics: Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB,
• SMBIOS Product Name: iMac20,2,
• Bootloader: Opencore 0.9.8,
• WiFi/Bluetooth: Fenvi T919,OS: Monterrrey.

TIA

I use a lot of M.2 SSDs, mostly for writing data, I've lost some important data to corruption after SSDs' health/life went below 60%. So need a MacOS device to periodically check M.2 health.

Real Macs (macbooks/mac minis) don't have M.2 slots.

As per title, looking for a smallest form factor (hackintoshable) device that has M.2 socket, so I can plug in M.2 NVMe drives to check their health status/TB written using telemetry apps like Sensei.

Ideally Intel 10th gen(for better OC compatibility), with working internal WiFi - without the need to use external WiFi cards that need to use M.2 slot - this would defeat the purpose of the device.

Currently running 2 ITX Z490-based hacks. Gigabyte Z490I-Aorus/AsRock Z490M-ITXac. Too big, not portable. Other devices are real Intel/M1/M2 Macs. Have tried various M.2 enclosures/hubs/dongles - none can read SMART data. ALl of them use the same few JMicron/Realtek chip variants with no SMART support.

So far the smallest(supported) I could find is Intel Nuc 10. Still too big, but the best option so far.

Ideally something the size of a microcontroller like Raspberry Pi.

Alternatively, open to suggestions for S.M.A.R.T. enabled M.2 enclosures/dongles, but couldn't find anything, in fact, it seems no such tech exists.

Does anyone else get this? I have a dual graphics 2015 MacBook Pro with the M370X. Sometimes when something moves, the menu bar parts that moved will turn red, but I know it's not GPU corruption because if I switch to a different desktop and back it goes away. Sometimes parts of webpages do this on loading, but again go away on completion or scrolling.

The Iris Pro 5200 doesn't do this, but has its own bugs (can't run memories in photos without the AMD card, and can't complete Geekbench or GFXbench etc), the AMD M370X is the only one to do it.

I need help buying the budget and hackintosh Friendly Graphic card.

My PC is only for coding/docker/virtualization and watching movies/videos.

My specs:

14th Gen Intel Core i7-14700 Gigabyte Z790 UD G.Skill 6000mhz Ant Esports 690 Neo Pro 1TB m.2 nvme. MSI Optix MAG342CQR 144hz 34 Inch Ultrawide (3440 x 1440)

So I just want smoothness in day to day task that's it. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I am running OCLP on my 2017 iMac with Sonoma. Runs ok, but I want to revert back to Ventura. I've Googled how to remove OCLP, but... the instructions I see are to mount the EFI partition and delete the EFI and System folders. But when I mount EFI, it is blank, no folders.

How does one completely remove OCLP? Thanks...
