I successfully created an OpenCore EFI using the Dortania guides and installed Tahoe on an Asus Vivobook laptop with a Ryzen processor.

I knew in advance that my wifi card isn't supported and bought a TP link archer t2u usb dongle according to Wifi buyers guide. But I overlooked the fact that on Tahoe I'd have to use OCLP-mod to then install chris1111's Wireless USB Big Sur Adapter which requires an internet connection.

I'm wondering if there's a way to manually patch to enable the USB adapter or am I bound to switch to Sequoia?

It is also probably good to mention that I haven't yet transfered the EFI files to my EFI partition and the EFI is still only on the USB I used to install.

okay, i just had a accident and all of my boot entries doesnt work, i fixed it and apply a CLEAN EFI installation but the windowserver is STILL crashing as my last post. and i forgot to say this , i didnt used oclp post install because that says no patches availible.

(sorry for my bad english its not my main language but i think its still understandable)

Hey everyone, looking for opinions from people with real experience on this.

My build:

CPU: Intel i7-11700K (Rocket Lake)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B560 DS3H V2

RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz

GPU: Sapphire RX 6800 XT 16GB (NootRX)

WiFi/BT: Fenvi T919 (BCM94360CD)

OS: macOS Tahoe 26.3.2

Bootloader: OpenCore 1.0.7

I was on MacPro7,1 for a long time and recently switched to iMacPro1,1 (needed -no_compat_check to boot). Geekbench 6 results: ~2000 SC / ~9500 MC.

Questions:

- Is iMacPro1,1 really the best choice for a dGPU-only Rocket Lake build in 2026, or would iMac20,2 (last Intel iMac) perform better despite being technically designed for Comet Lake?

- Anyone else needing -no_compat_check with iMacPro1,1 on Tahoe?

- Any SMBIOS giving better performance or stability for this config?

Little context, I'm a total beginner in terms of Hackintosh(although I'm tech savvy and have done Dual boots with Windows and Linux). But hackintosh is new for me.

My pc specs-

CPU- Ryzen 3 3200g

MOTHERBOARD- Msi B450 S2H

IGPU- Radeon Vega 8

RAM- 8GB ddr4 3000mhz

Okay, so firstly, I tried to download MacOS Catalina.

I used gibMacOS, as it's considered the safest route(afaik).

Created my EFI folder myself through some Internet research.

But when I started it. I got stuck on the apple logo with 100%loading. So I switched to verbose mode.

Upon doing more research, I found out that the installer was loading but isn't able to boot up.

I've tried many things switching out and replacing each and every file, Tinkering on ProperTree. But nothing seems to work.

My kext files(in decreasing priority) are-

Lilu

VirtualSMC

NootedRed

RealtekRTL8111

AppleALC

Ps: I am using Opencore.

Hey there fellas,

I'm new to Hackintosh and I heard I could Dual-Boot on my new PC and I thought maybe I'd Dual-Boot macOS and my current Windows together.

My question to you guys is - can my hardware do it?

This is my rig:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

CPU Cooler: MSI MPG CORELIQUID P13

Motherboard: ASUS X870 MAX GAMING WIFI7

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce R.TX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16GB

RAM: 48GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 CL30

Primary SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

Secondary SSD: Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB PCIe 5.0

Case: Corsair 4000D RS ARGB

PSU: Gigabyte AORUS ELITE P1000 ICE 1000W

Current OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit

Hi everyone,

I want to install macOS on my Windows PC, but I haven’t started yet and I honestly don’t know where to begin.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to Hackintosh, so I would really appreciate if someone could guide me step by step or point me to the right resources.

Here are my specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K (3.70 GHz)
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
• iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630
• Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B360M-A
• RAM: 16 GB

What I’m looking for:

• A beginner-friendly guide for my specific hardware
• Help understanding what I need (OpenCore, kexts, etc.)
• Advice about GPU compatibility (I heard my GTX 1050 Ti might not work)
• BIOS settings and everything I should do from the start

Basically, I need help from zero 😅

If anyone is willing to help or guide me through the process, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

Hey guys, I really need some help 😅

I'm trying to build a Hackintosh on my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 3 15IML05, 12GB RAM, 10th gen i3). I’ve followed several tutorials (mostly from YouTube), checked if my hardware is compatible, and I’m using OpenCore Simplify.

The problem is that I can’t get past the boot. It always throws some error and freezes. I’ve redone the whole process multiple times, followed everything step by step, and even configured the USB ports like the tutorials suggest.

At this point, I’m not even worried about post-install or fine-tuning… I just want to get through the boot without errors 😭

If anyone has been through this or has any idea what might be wrong, I’d really appreciate the help 🙏

If you need photos of the error after boot, just let me know. I’ve tried multiple macOS versions (all newer ones, from Ventura and above), but they all give me the same error.

Also, I actually want to learn how to do this properly. I’ve noticed people here don’t really use OpenCore Simplify or tools like that. I’d like to understand the “manual” way of setting things up. If anyone can guide me, share a tutorial, or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Estou com problemas com o meu Hackintosh no Dell Inspiron 14 3442, macOS Big Sur (11.7.11)

Estava usando sem nenhum problema, perfeitamente bem, porém sem fazer nenhuma modificação (apenas o SIP desativado para instalar umas VMs, mas isso foi quase 1 mês atrás). Ontem notei que os programas começaram a fechar e não abriam mais, o relógio do menu global sumiu, em preferências do sistema, o sistema de usuários e grupo, sons não funcionam (aparece um erro de painel), as vezes o terminal dá crash no autocomplete, Safari abre, mas fica extremamente lento, Firefox funciona rápido mas as vezed trava.

peguei o log pelo console, joguei em PDF e analisei, indica ser algo relacionado ao coreaudiod, e sim, ele não aparece no Monitor de Atividades, forcei a iniciação dele, ele até fica por poucos segundos, o relógio retorna, mas logo em seguida ele para e volta tudo de novo.

O que eu fiz até agora:

- Resertei a NVRAM

- APFS sem problemas

- Metal funciona

- Verifiquei as atualizações das kexts

- Testei minha EFI antiga (mesmas coisas)

- Tentei fazer a restauração do sistema (Só fica com a tela cinza, não sei o motivo, tentei todo tipo de versão do Opencore possível, usei o -igpuvesa também)

- Rodei o instalador do macOS dentro do macOS, mas deu erro (não acho a versão 11.7.11 em dmg, apenas 11.7.10, será que esse é o problema?)

alguém tem uma sugestão? foi de repente, eu não cheguei a fazer nada mais na EFI ou no sistema, só estava usando mesmo

- Photoshop abre e funciona

- Final Cut Pro finaliza

- Audio MIDI finaliza

Can someone share his/her EFI to ThinkPad x201 with i7 intel procesor compatible with macos between 10 and 15? I have tried for months to make it but it still does not work. Thanks for replies! I tried OCS.
