Colors are off when compared to being plugged in to my laptop (MacBook pro). How do I get the colors to match? Is it even possible ?

Got a 14900k which runs very hot and a bit unstable. Is a 9950X a better option? It’s for video editing.

Is a 9950X going to work on a hackintosh?

How can I fix this? I've been trying for days, trying to research what I can find and nothing.

bonus: can you currently run arm apps on x86?

Hello,

I am creating my first hackintosh and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use my Apple account on it to use messaging and other features (I have a iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch).

Was not sure if I would be putting my account at jeopardy by doing this since all of my life is in it lol.

Please let me know . Thanks!

My hackintosh build uses an Intel core i9-10900F + Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT.

The opencore guide for Comet Lake suggests an iMac20,2 for core i9-10850K and up.

Since my cpu doesn’t have an iGPU and I am using a Navi 10 card, should I use the MacPro7,1 SMBIOS?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on my Hackintosh setup, and I’m running into a frustrating issue with my Blackmagic Video Assist monitor as an output monitor from HDMI. Here’s the situation:

The Problem:

• The HDMI output works fine with other monitors, but not with my Blackmagic Video Assist 12G. The OS gets stuck in a monitor connection loop, where the screen is obviously trying to successfully connect.
• When booting the Hackintosh, I see the Apple logo and loading bar on the Blackmagic, but about 1/3 of the way into loading macOS, the screen goes blank and loses signal.
• The Blackmagic monitor works fine with both my M1 MacBook Air and my Windows machine, so I know the monitor and cables are good.

What I've Tried So Far:

1. Modified config.plist:
   • I added ATY,Henbury to AMD graphics PCIE number
2. Tested with Other Monitors:
   • I tried another HDMI monitor, and it worked fine with my Hackintosh setup, so the issue seems specific to the Blackmagic monitor. I believe this is due to the on board record feature?
3. Tried SwitchResX and Shikigva=80:
   • I tried using SwitchResX to manage resolutions and added the boot argument shikigva=80, but the issue persists.

Logs:

• I’ve captured some logs during boot, and everything looks fine up until the point where the signal is lost. The logs show that the correct mode and resolution (1920 x 1080 at 60Hz) are being validated. When the Blackmagic video assist is connected on it's own, after around 1/3 of EFI bootlog it goes blank and remains blank. DRM?

Has anyone else had this issue with a Blackmagic Video Assist or a similar setup? Any ideas on what else I could try?

Thanks

Hi
I just installed Sonoma 14.5 and upgrading to 14.7 version without any issues in my laptop HP Probook 430 G6 , but the 'shutdown' in power option is restarting my hackintosh laptop even I follow the steps in dortania guide in here : https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/usb/misc/shutdown.html , and this is my EFI file :
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LBh6k5A66_Zq85STYu1lCMcIPB73BFiT

What version will it run? How fast will it run? Can I upgrade the mac os? Will it use OpenCore?

I have successful install on Thinkpad back then. Now I am trying to install this to my HP Probook 440 G5. Everything is good to boot the USB installer except : the keyboard and touchpad (movable but cannot tap double tap). I have copied someone else HP's config and kexts to my USB, but still failed.

My specification:

• CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
• GPU: UHD Graphics 620
• RAM: 32GB
• Laptop Make and Model: HP Probook G5 440
• Audio Codec: Conexant CX8200
• Ethernet Card: RTL8111
• Wi-Fi/BT Card: RTL8821CE (I am planning to use dongle)
• Touchpad and touch display devices: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (Only movable, no tap or double tap)
• Keyboard: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard (Voodoo PS/2 or I2C, cannot make this work)

My current kexts:

Note : I am always refresh the config.plist when changes occur

Before any further writeup - a disclaimer: the post is subreddit related because it's about achieving native wlan functionality. That said - the actual reading:

The overall premise is this - create a pcb to host a standard BGA519 package on a regular pci-e pcb with 3 antennas. MIT licence. You, as an enthusiast end user will have the files you can send over to your pcb maker of choice, they can either send a blank pcb for manual population or they can solder on the basics while the actual package is left over for the user to solder on at home. Zero legal issues to it, pretty straightforward idea. I get why usual suspects in the space won't do it, companies (Fenvi) would get sued into oblivion. But actual end users can do whatever they like and that's where this post comes in.

I already made some preliminary drawings and sets and I can share my eagle project. It's for a $17 bga519 package, standard 0.12mm. Total cost should orbit around $55 per board, depending on the mask. I'll make a very small 8-layer batch in green and I'll get fancy if signal integrity is a-ok and if things turn out right.

If you know what you're doing and don't mind contributing time to a good cause, shoot me a pm and help the development/brainstorming. I'll obviously mail out the free pieces for testing.

Thanks!

Hello!

I would like to share my success in enabling Secure Boot!

If you'd like to know how I did it, I wrote a Guide, available here!

Happy hackintoshing <3

Was going through storage and found this hackintosh I built around 8 years ago. Funnily enough I actually built this as a work computer for my mom out of old pc parts I had from a previous build. Brought back some good memories.

Long story short its got me interested in hackintoshes again, but it seems like after apple moved to arm it significantly complicated things. Obviously installing an OS built for arm on an x86 isnt possible. Although ive seen people installing very recent Mac OS Builds. Is it any harder now than it was back then?

Hey guys, I followed the dortania guide to fixing this but iMessage still does not work, it logs me out after a few seconds. For the ROM is used my mac address, for the UUID I used the one generated with genbios (should I use the one generated from the cmd on terminal) .I don't have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and my apple account has a iPhone attached to it. When I contacted apple they tried to fix it but couldn't even when I gave them a customer code which I got by launching iMessage from the terminal. They told me to contact a senior advisor over the phone.

My question is what should I do next and is it a bad idea to give apple support my invalid serial number, thanks.

Hey guys i need help i forgot my password to my build and it’s giving me a headache, please help. Is there anything i can do to reset it??

I've been following some tutorials on this and I've got to as far as getting the macOS utilities/setup to boot. It shows the Apple logo and loads for a bit, then the Apple logo goes to the right of the screen and gets cut in half, and the resolution for the macOS utilities page is messed up. What could be going on? FYI, in bios I have it set to UEFI only with no CSM support. SATA controller mode is AHCI (only other option is "compatibility")

I am attempting to install Catalina by the way

Normal looking loading

Resolution messes up 3 quarters of a way through loading

Messed up resolution in macOS utilities page

I upgraded my all AMD hack from ventura to sequioa, and I'll be going back to ventura. All my kexts,kernel patches and oc are all up to date and it's been a stability nightmare. I get random freezes and system lock ups. Not asking for help as I've made up my mind to go back to ventura. I just wanted to hear how it's going for yall? Any of yall experiencing the same thing ?

Edit:I did a fresh install and still ran into the same problem.

Edit 2: I ended up going to Mac OS sonoma and it runs like a dream. Sequioa right now is not stable for my AMD system

Hey guys, recently I've been looking at my hackintosh, and I don't seem to be able to get audio working properly, I've watched every YouTube tutorial I can find, read through the Opencore guide and the Apple ALC guide more times than I can count, but still nothing. I can see that AppleALC.kext is loading, Hackintool can see it as a loaded kext, and I've tried every codec ID for my audio. I used to have this working, and I know that it will be a simple fix, but I've spent days on this and it still won't work. I can play music through my DGPU fine, but neither the internal speakers, or the audio jacks work, does anyone know how to fix this?

Specs:

Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF

CPU - I7-6700

Graphics - RX580

RAM - 32GB DDR4

BOOT - Intel Optane 240GB NVME SSD

They seem to be supportable, and yet, on dortania.github.io (incredible site, btw, how did everyone figure this all out?) there aren't any kexts or SSDTs. I have a Phenom in my main PC, and would like to Hackintosh, but can't. I just get stuck at a blinking cursor while trying to boot the installer.

I am trying to build a hackintosh with Intel® Core™ i5-11400F (Rocket Lake CPU), but am not sure how to "spoof" my CPUID as the OpenCore guide details. How would I go about spoofing it? I also do not have any OS installed, and am curious if I need an OS installed in order to spoof. I plan on getting Windows OS as well anyway so not super important, just curious. THANKS FOR THE HELP!

What are some other projects like Hackintosh that I can research when I'm bored? For example, custom ROMs, Ubuntu Touch, iOS KVM, and a few others.

Also, I know this is probably impossible, but I was looking into the possibility of a watchOS port for WearOS watches.

Is this an error due to CPU config?

Long story short. I want to run OS X Snow Leopard via open core.

HP elite 6300

CPU: i7-3770 with cpu spoof or I5-2400

Nvidia GT120

Can’t get pass this.

I've gone through a number of websites on building a Hackintosh, including the FAQ here, and I'm having a hard time finding a tutorial for building a functional Hackintosh without having a Mac or Apple Developer account. So far, I'm stumped. Can someone direct me to a good tutorial for building a Sonoma or Sequioa Hackintosh for those without access to a Mac? I have a Kaby-Lake desktop and, based on the research I've done, I am sure it would be able to run MacOS with no problems, but I need a step-by-step guide that doesn't skip steps (and a lot of the Youtube videos I've seen do). Help!
