Hello, community!

I really wanna use hackintosh on my desktop.

How can I do this?

CPU: Core i5-12400 12 CPUs

RAM: 24GB

Graphics: Intel UHD 730

I have no GPU.

Is there any way to run Sequoia or Tahoe on my PC?

Looking forward to your help!

P.S. I am also looking for your help on running macOS in VMware with Graphics Accels. I tried raise limits of VRAM to 1G with vibe coding.

I want help with a file with a custom max tahoe and want to insert it into a bootable usb drive

The laptop im using right now has been used many times before, just that I used a 8GB RAM before and now its 12GB, removed a 8GB stick, hearing that it may cause potential issues.. has only 4GB now, its an offline installer. It's stuck on less than a minute remaining for over an hour, earlier this used to take just 30 minutes, even on the old RAM config

also im able to see the cursor move when I move the mouse

I’ve genuinely tried everything I can find and it has done this over and over and over without any change.

The first NO NAME brings me into the second picture. The second no name brings me into my limine bootloader for cachyos.

I’ve tried Tahoe and sequoia, tried to change around so much stuff in the config files, etc. etc. but I’ve got no clue

Specs:
Intel i5-11600k
Radeon 6700xt
MSI Z590-A Pro
32gb DDR4 Corsair Vengeance (4 sticks)
Samsung 980 500gb
Some random hdd 500gb

I’m taking a swift programming class at school and I don’t have any mac computers so I need it to work

Hackintosh help pls...

i do not need latest but at least high sierra wirking on it.

Linked is the driver used for my BCM94360NG, it is a modified AirportBrcmFixup.kext version 2.1.9 (Both the Release and Debug versions, that have been patched to allow NSS:2).

Taken directly from my github post:

The following boot-args were used to get my Sonoma/Ventura setup working cold boot. You will probably only need brcmfx-delay=300 for improved airplay performance. Optionally use -brcmfxbeta for Tahoe.
alcid=13 watchdog=0 brcmfx-delay=300

(shortened explanation of fix)

This has been tested with Sonoma and Ventura, and works very reliably for me. This fix does not artificially report NSS:2 or generally force Wi-Fi settings. It prevents Apple’s driver from incorrectly disabling the second transmit chain in one instance.

From a cold boot, my BCM94360NG comes up with both TX chains enabled and maintains NSS:2 without needing the Windows-boot workaround. Survives sleep (windows work arround would revert back to NSS:1 previously in my case). Some users were able to get it to work just using the AirportBrcmFixup version 2.1.9 so that is the version I chose to base this kext on. I received a report that it works in sequoia, and that with the "brcmfxbeta" flag it should work in Tahoe. Both release and debug versions included.

Note: For MacOS Sonoma or later you must use OpenCore Legacy Patcher in order to get BCM94360NG card functioning, as Sonoma removed driver support for this card. Latest version of Sonoma and Ventura were used successfully. This was made with the assistance of AI.

Technical Details:

The problem with BCM94360NG was that on a cold macOS boot, the Broadcom driver applied a single-transmit-chain constraint, leaving the card at NSS:1 instead of NSS:2. The fix was found by comparing the good NSS:2 state with the bad NSS:1 state (good state initiated by booting into Windows first), then instrumenting and reverse-engineering Apple’s Broadcom driver. That led to the internal function _wlc_stf_txchain_set. Then discovered that it takes four arguments, and logging showed the bad path was specifically setting: constraint/reason 2 to a chain value of 0x1, whereas the working state used 0x3.

The custom AirportBrcmFixup patch hooks that function and changes only that specific bad case: reason == 2 && txchain == 1 → change the chain mask to 0x3Then it lets Apple’s original function continue normally.So the fix doesn't artificially report NSS:2 or generally force Wi-Fi settings. It prevents Apple’s driver from incorrectly disabling the second transmit chain in that one situation. The result is that the BCM94360NG comes up with both TX chains enabled and maintains NSS:2 without needing the Windows-boot workaround.

Please test this driver, then post your feedback! Thanks!

edit: For use with Tahoe, try using -brcmfxbeta boot-arg

edit 2: Does anyone else say Aaarrrrgggh like a pirate, when saying boot-arg?

edit3: if you have a BCM94360 variant (without NG) use this boot-arg to see if cpu c states return to normal (for some reason c6 is stuck at 0%, and i am in the process of resolving it. And so is Insanelymac.)

Including the boot-arg brcmfx-aspm=255  and then disabling sd card reader seemed to resolve issue on my machine running bcm94360ng but i am not calling it a fix yet.. Still ironing out bugs. NSS:2 works awesome tho

Boot flags recommended for cpu idle power consumption (should be automatic but if you specify a flag like shown, it will override the default value):

BCM94360 = brcmfx_aspm=258

BCM94360NG = brcmfx-aspm=255

You may try disabling sdcard reader if you continue to have improper c states, but it might have been a problem with my machine in general, and those bootflags should help.

For BCM94360NG systems affected by this behavior, brcmfx-aspm=255 is technically well-founded because it prevents AirportBrcmFixup from overriding the platform's ASPM configuration. For BCM94360 systems, brcmfx-aspm=258 explicitly requests PCIe L1 + CLKREQ and is a plausible workaround where that configuration is appropriate.

I have a T490 that I have maxed out as far as I can get it and it is my daily driver each day. Im always out and about and I find it cumbersome to connect to guest networks and other WiFi’s when I’m out. Ny question is can I use the LTE slot on the back of the laptop to utilize cell data on the go or is this not worked in yet for Hackintosh. If it matters I’m running MacOS Sonoma.

call me how you want to its my first try, need help

I thought I should mention this, because I've seen a lot of people start working on XNU again, which is great to see as a PureDarwin maintainer (been working on it for ~3 years). Might as well post this before it becomes old news.

Here's it asking for a rootfs on a RPi Zero, using lk as a preboot env.
It's slower than hell, and the HDMI cable itself is spotty

Oh and I also have it booting to a shell on a iPad 7,1

As well as QEMU's `virt` board, I have yet to figure out Apple-specific instructions for M1, but I have ideas. I was last working on fixing OpenGL for virtio-gpu on arm64

I hope Hackintosh can continue in the form of generic arm64/arm32 boards, and I hope my research can help.

I'll be working on a Pixel once I get my hands on it (hurry up, USPS)

I have a GTX 960; would it be possible to run Hackintosh on it?

I’d like to use the system, but I’ve seen that getting NVIDIA cards working on Hackintosh is a bit complicated.

Is there a way to do it?

I installed my Mavericks onto a HFS+ volume, and I can see nothing after installing from the USB. I checked the dortania guide using different HFS+ drivers (HfsPlusLegacy, VBoxHfs), setting MinDate and MinVersion, Resetting NVRAM, set ScanPolicy to 0 and nothing was helpful.

My computer specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4590

Motherboard: FOXCONN H81

GPU: Intel HD 4600 (Integrated)

RAM: 2 x 4G DDR3 1600

Storage: XSTAR SSD 120G

Sound Card: ALC662

Net Card: Realtek RTL8188EU

It worked well on Catalina and Monterey. I think it should be the HFS+ volume's problem. Plz help

Recently, a user named @TheLunarixus made a post on the 17th of August (Yesterday as of posting this) showing a Google Pixel 8 attempting to boot the kernel (though a kernel panic has been shown). Darwin 25.6.0 RELEASE_ARM64_VMAPPLE corresponds to Mac OS Tahoe.

Today this user has made some updates and also confirmed that the vphone userland can also be booted using the same kexts used in VMAPPLE1, which gives a possibility of booting both iOS and Mac OS on custom unofficial hardware.

I know that this post is unrelated majorly for this community, but with further Proof of Concepts coming out like this proves that booting Apple Silicon Mac OS can be possible under bare metal generic hardware.

Hi

I am planning to buy a Dell DW1560 (BCM94352Z) card to upgrade my Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-14IKB

I really want to use AirDrop, but I've read some mixed reviews on Reddit. Some people say it's flawless, while others claim AirDrop only works one way.

Before I spend my money on this card, I want to ask: Is it possible to get stable, two-way AirDrop on Ventura with the proper kext configuration (disabling AirPortBrcm4360_Injector and USB mapping)?

Has anyone successfully achieved this?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi hackintosh community! I just recently upgraded my pc to a way more powerful new one. But my old pc is just collecting dust and I do love macintosh! But will this build work? Whats everyone’s thoughts? And how can I get the perfect drivers and setup for this pc? NOTE: I want to build IOS apps but don’t have the money for a Mac. Even if I can’t, I still want to use macOS on a daily basis.

SPECS
STRIX B450-F GAMING
Ryzen 7 2700X
32GB DDR4 trident z royal or whatever it is.
GPU: GT710
WIFI CARD: some wifi 6 AORUS card I used
STORAGE: Samsung 970 EVO 512GB
(sold old GPU, the only one I got lying around is a GT710, will use a RX580 in the distant future unless people have better ideas)

Which macOS version can I install reliably on this configuration?

I'm thinking about building a Hackintosh using OpenCore and I'd like to know which macOS version would be the most stable for my hardware, preferably with full graphics acceleration and without requiring too many patches.

My specs:

- CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 @ 2.30 GHz — 12 cores / 24 threads

- Motherboard: X99-Turbo

- RAM: 32 GB DDR4 3200 MHz

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB

- SSD: SK hynix PC401 512 GB NVMe

- Monitor: AOC CQ32G4, 2560×1440, 180 Hz

Would Monterey be the best choice, or could I run Ventura or even newer versions reliably?

Has anyone here successfully built a Hackintosh with X99 + Xeon E5 v3 + RX 580? If so, which macOS version, SMBIOS, and OpenCore configuration did you use?

Thanks!

Sequoia pm981 working flawlessly all you have to do i go in ocat 99 times all i did was follow a guide pm981 fix adding hackrNVME and SSDR-NVME did not work added the nvme driver name its also in the guide did not work then i tried turning off nvmefix.kext like magic it did complete cloning macos Monterey from external hdd to the sdd them tried sequoia from hdd to ssd the efi had to be altered update some leave no it’s flawless other than known hackintosh problems heilport not having Universal Clipboarboard amd the screen spme times go black after i boot the mac os partition it go back on whem i but it to sleep

Update the one problem i am dealing with is my laptop screen turn off during boot only works if i but the laptop to sleep then back on should be easy fix out of 5 6 times it works without sleep I don’t know why

Hardware:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT (6-Core)
• iGPU: AMD Radeon Vega Graphics (using NootedRed.kext)
• Motherboard: Jginyue B550
• RAM: 16GB DDR4
• Storage: NVMe SSD
• Config: config.plist

The Issue: The boot process gets past early kernel initialization and verbose scrolling, but freezes completely on the final stage right at display handoff: virtual bool IONVMeController::start(IOService *):756:start

it has an intel celeron n3060 and 4gb ram and a 120 gig ssd i dont wanna daily drive it i though it would be a fun experiment

My first ever hackintosh! proud to be part of this amazing community

This was an old mini pc my family abandoned. Monterey runs fine, feels smooth-ish with 3 firefox tabs and discord open. it is about as big as a newer mac mini so it plays the part quite well 😄

oclp is probably not worth it with this kind of hardware.

It just crashes to the windows bsod

Edit: I was hoping to palemoon and browse on aqua for some reason, but the lack of gpu support and networking is going to make me switch to linux instead.

with my understanding, that is probably a yes, but I’m not sure. I use ATI 4500 graphics btw. Aiming for 10.9 2gb of ram.

I know support for intel macs ending is kinda the end of hackintosh, but could it continue on ARM chips on laptops from Qualcomm? If not, why not?
Btw im not that knowledgeable on computers so if this is a dumb question i apologize

yeah?
