Hi! I am new here and to the Opencore universe. Last time i built a hackintosh it was in 2017. Time flies 😪!

I am now trying to build my first hackintosh using opencore, on my laptop. I am stuck with an error and i really need some help. Thank you in advance!

Hardware:

• CPU: QuadCore Intel Core i5-10300H, 4200 MHz (42 x 100) [Comet Lake-H; intel64_family6_model_165]
• GPU: nVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop (Acer)
• RAM: 16GB 2x Micron 8ATF1G64HZ-3G2J1 DDR4-3200 (1600 MHz) SDRAM
• Motherboard/Laptop model: Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55(-51QY)
• Screen(s) Resolution:1920x1080
• Audio Codec: Realtek ALC295 (Dev0295,Ven_10EC)
• Ethernet Card: Intel Killer E2600
• Wifi/BT Card: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz

What guide/tool I followed:

Here is a screenshot of my folder.

• Used Opencore 0.9.7 Debug version and the latest Drivers, Kexts and Prebuilt SSDTs (as of 31/01/2024).
• I Produced the SSDT-dGPU-Off.aml using the default dsl file provided in the guide
  • Screenshot
  • Screenshot
• I Used USBToolBox to map my usb ports (image) on Windows and produce the UTBMap.kext file.
  • Screenshot
• I Used the GenSMBIOS tool to specify the `PlatformIninfo>Generic` properties in the `config.plist` file as a MacbookPro16,1.
• I Used ProperTree plist editor to produce my config.plist file starting from the sample.plist file provided in the base opencorepkg folderand by following Dortania's Opencore Guide.

What part I got an issue with:

For now, I am trying to make my own EFI folder from scratch to learn using Dortania’s guides and install Ventura before trying with Sonoma.

I am posting this because I need some help as I can’t reach the macOS installer.

When I boot on my usb key having the EFI folder I prepared, after selecting the "boot to the installer" option, my computer restarts.

According to the debug dump file it seems it is stuck at `AAPL: #[EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] `. If im reading this correctly this is due to this error `AAPL: #[EB.LD.OFS|OPEN!] Err(0xE) <"usr\\standalone\\OS.dmg.root_hash">`.
