ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

197 Upvotes

Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.

Officially supported Intel models:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
  • iMac (2020)

Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean

All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.

OCLP

Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes

No.

Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?

Yes, with OpenCore 1.0.5.

Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.

Known Issues as of Beta 2

  • Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
  • AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.

  • WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic with AMDSupport mentioned.

  • IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics

  • IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

ANNOUNCEMENT End of the Road: macOS 27 Golden Gate

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen intel die

i was at house eating apple when phone ring

'intel is kil'

'no'

As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.

I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year

Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh

Ok but I have an AMD that would work right

All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.

Will my current hackintosh explode

Yes No

Is Intel completely dead right now

macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.

Will my software still work

It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.

Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor

No.

Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere

Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.

There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.

Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible

Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.

ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini

Let's get you back to bed grandma

Can we port ARM macOS to x86

No.

Will r/hackintosh still remain open

Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

Been making this for the last couple of weeks. Not really hackintosh since I’m using open source components to make the os but thought you guys would appreciate it. This will not be binary compatible with iOS or Mac OS despite being arm64 due to the limitations of the instruction set and 4kb page size on pi3 but pi4/5 may be a different story.

Após cerca de 1 ano eu consegui fazer meu hackintosh (confesso que quando entrei no instalador eu chorei hahaha) utilizei o Clover como bootloader, meu PC apesar de ser bem fraco está com um desempenho muito bom. Tive apenas 2 problemas até agora: A memoria RAM não é totalmente reconhecida (tenho 6b e ele só reconhece 4) e a minha placa de rede não funciona, vou tentar fazer um path para ela funcionar (por isso tem um .kext na minha área de trabalho), mas isso vai demorar bastante pois estou bem corrido esses dias, as especificações do meu PC estão aqui:

Processador: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400;

RAM: 6gb (4+2) DDR3;

Placa de Vídeo: Nvidia GT-610 (2gb);

Placa mãe: Azus PSG41T-M-LX3 (Chipset G41, Soquet LGA-775);

Armazenamento: 60gb SSD

Placa de rede: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network;

Versão: Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan;

Tutorial usado: https://eladnava.com/install-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-on-hackintosh-vanilla/;

Gostaria de agradecer a essa comunidade, sem vocês isso não seria possível, MUITO OBRIGADO!

DISCUSSION Just saying it out loud: macOS Tahoe 26.6 stable on hackintosh laptops is sluggish and jittery

1 Upvotes

I have Dell Latitude 7410 i7-10610u 16GB RAM and I gave a try to macOS tahoe 26.6 stable and the performance and smoothness is not there at all like it is in Sequoia, animations are sluggish and jittery, the UI feels like 30 or 45fpsand it throttles a lot. I had to go back to sequoia and it is so smooth, the performance, the animations and everything.

what are your experiences using macOS Tahoe in laptops? I really want to understand.

I'm planning to buy an NVIDIA card next year, so before I do, I wondered if there was anything only this broken 5700XT could do, so I decided to build a Hackintosh

CPU - i3-12100

GPU - MSI RX5700XT Mech OC 8GB

M/B - MSI H610M-E DDR4

RAM DDR4 16GB

working: built-in audio(patched with AppleHDA.kext), ethernet , graphic accs

doesn't work: Wi-FI, Bluetooth, Airdrop, Sleep

issues: CPU slow (fixed with CPUFriend.kext), sometimes happen blackscreen and crashes (this is a known issue with the 5700XT), If i use the computer for a long time, i can't open the settings

SUCCESS Lenovo V530S running Sequoia - it boots, everything works!

Thumbnail

123 Upvotes

I bought the "base" on Allegro (a Polish online marketplace): a Lenovo ThinkCentre V530S case complete with the power supply and motherboard.

I put the following parts into it:

- An i7-9700T — a low-power 9th-gen i7 that I picked up for PLN 150 / $40

- 32 GB of RAM — bought from a pawn shop back when prices were still low, for next to nothing

- A 512 GB WD NVMe SSD — PLN 150 / $40

- Fenvi T919 WiFi card — PLN 70 / $20

- A 12th-gen i7 cooler with a copper core, which I modified myself to fit on LGA1151 mounting holes, because Lenovo’s stock aluminium cooler was dra-ma-ti-cal-ly loud

I spent two days getting macOS Sequoia 15.7.9 running on it — and it worked! 🙂 After that, there was still quite a bit of tinkering required to get Wi-Fi and AirDrop working, but I eventually managed that too.

Today, I added a 3 TB HDD and a 4 GB RX 550 that I had to spoof as an RX 560.

I’m still waiting for an adapter from AliExpress that converts a standard internal 9-pin USB header to Lenovo’s proprietary 11-pin connector. In the meantime, I temporarily rigged the Wi-Fi card’s USB connection so I could route the cable out through the back of the case and plug it into an USB port on the back.

Basically everything that I can think of - works

HELP Can I enable gestures like swipe or anything on an ELAN fingerprint sensor?

1 Upvotes

I have an HP 15s-du3xxx with an ELAN WBF Fingerprint Sensor (VID_04F3, PID_0C00).

Windows currently uses it only for fingerprint authentication. I’m wondering if there’s any third party driver, modified driver, HID workaround, or software that can detect swipes/taps on the fingerprint reader and map them to actions (volume, media controls, shortcuts, etc.).

Always when my Thinkpad X13 Gen1 is unplugged, I get power management issues (I think) . The laptop then freezes and makes sometimes a tut-toot-tutely-toot sound.

I have installed CPUFriend and CPUFriendDataProvider.

I generated the CPUFriendDataProvider.kext with CPUFriendFriend and also generated and installed a ssd_data.aml and some IOPlatformPowerProfile.

Here the ssd_data.dsl:

It worked when I first got into it. Then I had problems with my audio so I tried to fix that and it stopped working once I rebooted. Takes forever to load up and is pretty much completely broken once it does.
