How about automatic updates — macOS Version Selection Guide

By Freirburro

opencore

The best macOS version depends on your hardware age, GPU support, and daily workload requirements.

Step 1 — Match macOS to Your Hardware

Newer Intel hardware (8th gen and later) generally works best with the latest macOS. Older hardware may benefit from OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Step 2 — Check GPU Support

AMD Radeon RX 400/500/5000 series are supported natively. NVIDIA cards are limited to High Sierra and earlier.

Step 3 — Update Before You Upgrade

Update OpenCore, kexts, and config.plist before attempting a macOS upgrade.

Step 4 — Test Your Essential Apps

Verify that your critical applications all launch and function correctly after upgrading.

Expected Results

  • The system boots consistently after upgrade
  • Graphics acceleration and Wi-Fi work
  • All essential applications function correctly

Original Question: "How to install a Wifi/Bluetooth card (BCM943602CS)?"

I just achieved my first Hackintosh installation and it works pretty well, except my Wifi/Bluetooth card which is not recognised.

I bought a BCM943602CS card and installed it in the M.2 slot of my Asus Z490-I motherboard using this Wifi Card to NGFF Key A/E M2 adapter.

How can I check if my PC actually recognise the Wifi card? I didn't see anything in BIOS.

Should I install something to make it working (such as a kext)? If I understand well, the card I bought is recognised by default by macOS, and does not require any additional installation.

Or maybe should I install AirportBrcmFixup and BrcmPatchRAM, as explained in this section of the guide: When and what kexts to use

Original Question: "ROG GL553VD (OpenCore)"

So, finally after how many hours of watching people making hackintoshes. I decided that it's time for me to ride the plane too.

My laptop specs are :

CPU : Intel Core i7-7700HQ GPU : Nvidia GTX 1050ti RAM : 8GB DDR4 2333mhz Storage : 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD

Ports : 1x HDMi, 1x type-c port, 2x usb 3 and 1x usb2

For the GPU, I don't need it for now because I'll be focusing with programming and very light photoshop/illustrator for Icons and images for the apps that we are developing.

For the wifi, I'm more of a ethernet person. But I have a wifi dongle do that I can still use it wirelessly.

Now, I'm planning for an openCore approach for this. I saw a github, ZiQiLN was the github handle. I think I can also peek from his configs to help me get through the installation.

My main concern is:

  1. Will I be able to use the 1TB HDD for secondary drive, for files only purposes?

  2. I'm not a gamer or heavy video editor, is it worth it?

  3. Will the HDMi port work? I know that it is optimus. Also, after reading some threads about my laptop, the GPU is hooked with the HDMi(?). What does that mean?

  4. Will that type-c port work? I might need it in the future.

I'm asking you guys since you guys have experience already. Thank you very much ! ☺️ Cheers!

Hack Pro Mini-ITX Success MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 OpenCore 0.6.2

Chococat Says Hi from his little yellow house

I haven't seen someone using a Z490I Aorus Ultra around here, so I thought it would be a good idea to help people with a similar setup to mine.

Here goes my hardware:

CPU: i5 10400GPU: Intel Integrated Graphics UHD 630RAM: 16Gb DDR4 XPG Spectrix 3000MHzMotherboard: Z490I Aorus Ultra (Mini-ITX in case you missed the I in front of the model)Audio Codec: Realtek 1220-VBEthernet Card: Intel i225-vWifi/BT Card: Intel WiFi 6 AX-201Touchpad and touch display devices: NoneBIOS revision: F5Mouse: Logitech G903Keyboard: Razer Huntsman Elite (US Layout)AIO: Gamer Storm Captain Castle 240EX with 2 stock coolers from the AIO

Coolers: 2 outtake coolers from NZXT (came with the case)Case: NZXT H210I

SSD: 500Gb Western Digital Black NVMe M.2Hard Drive 1: 1Tb Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 32mb

Hard Drive 2: 140Gb Western Digital Green (don't know the RPM, I salvaged it from my aunt's very old laptop) 16mb

NZXT RGB LED Strip

One thing I'd like to note is that I'm in no way capable of providing a good tutorial on how to install MacOS Catalina, but here's a few things I learned in the past two days.

  1. Mind the flash drive you're using. When I first tried (and failed miserably) I was using a SanDisk Cruzer Blade 32Gb flash disk. There's nothing wrong with it, but for an installer, it would give me the "OCB: Loadimage failed: unsupported" and nothing else after selecting Install MacOS (external) during the pre-install phase (which is Boot->Bios->Boot Option (Flash Disk/Opencore) ->List of things to select). I looked for this in the guide, but it seems no one else has had this issue. My solution was to use a generic 8Gb Flash Drive.
  2. Some people might find that the internet is not working after successfully booting into the installer (this happened to me). After selecting "Reinstall MacOS Catalina" and selecting "Continue" on the following page, a warning saying "An Internet connection is required to install MacOS" would appear. The fix for this was in a 3-minute video in Russian. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-OmPYc15es. Also, it will only work with the ethernet cable if you have the same mobo as mine, I couldn't get the WiFi to work.
  3. Another problem I had was with audio, but this is easily fixed by just changing the layout in the config.plist file. Don't know how to do that? Well, open proper-tree, go to the part where it says NVRAM, search for boot args and add alcid=xxx, where the xxx would be your layout, depending on your audio card. If you don't know which one you have, I highly recommend you go to your motherboard's factory website and search for it.
  4. During installation, the screen would go black. Idk if this happened because I am using a DP connector for my primary monitor, but just wait. In my case, the installer said it would be done in 47 minutes, so I started a timer for 50 minutes and watched an episode of The Queen's Gambit on my phone. Once I finished watching, I went back to the office and boom, there it was, my MacOS setup screen.
  5. Regarding monitors, I highly recommend that you don't use more than one monitor during installation, things get mosaicyish (this word doesn't exist, but you know what I mean, the HDMI monitor shows some things and the DP one goes green and grey with some flickering).
  6. I generated my SSID and other identifiers before installing the MacOS. Did it with GenSMBios in Windows 10 and added the generated ids to my config.plist using proper-tree. I see some people doing it after installing MacOS, but since the guide recommended that I should do it before, I thought "fair enough" and did it as well. Apple Account is working and I can finally enjoy some paid apps on my computer.

That's it for my experience with making my first Hackintosh. Other than the non-orthodox methods above, I just followed Dortania's guide for opencore 0.6.2, section Comet-Lake.

Thank you all, from the community, for sharing your builds, attempts, successes and problems. Thanks to all of this material I could make my own Hackintosh. I hope I was able to help some of you.

And if anyone knows the reason behind the problems I've had, I'd love to know :P

Much love from Brazil!

PS: This is my first post on Reddit, if the formatting is wrong, <del>I'm a disgrace for learning HTML and not knowing how to format a post on Reddit</del> I beg your pardon, however I hope that you can at least understand the troubles I had and learn something from it.

Resolving Boot Issues: Dell latitude 7400 2-1 efi/ hackintosh files

By Freirburro

opencore

Boot problems can occur for many reasons — from BIOS settings to incorrect OpenCore configuration. Here is a step-by-step guide.

Step 1 — Boot with Verbose Mode

Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to your boot arguments.

Step 2 — Check Firmware Settings

Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and CFG Lock. Set SATA to AHCI. Enable UEFI boot mode.

Step 3 — Validate OpenCore Configuration

Run ocvalidate on your config.plist. Use ProperTree to perform a clean snapshot.

Step 4 — Test with a Fresh USB Installer

Recreate the installer on a different USB drive and try a USB 2.0 port.

Expected Results

  • Verbose boot passes the previous stopping point
  • The installer sees the target disk
  • Keyboard and mouse respond during the installer

Fault CR2 Panic - Asus FX705GM

Hi there,

I have been trying to Hackintosh my laptop using OpenCore 0.6.2, after having a painful experience with Clover and enjoying OC on my desktop.

I have tried to understand why I am getting this panic and have updated the voodoo kexts, tried without them, and spent hours trying to understand DSDT/SSDTs and the difference between GPI0 and XOSI.

Please can someone point out my mistakes and help me get to the installer :)

I have linked my config.plist and a picture of what the folder looks like.

Original Question: "Underperforming 9900k"

Hey guys, first time posting in here, hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.

Today i upgraded my 9700f to a 9900k chip, it was a straight swap with no issues, but the 9900k seems to be underperforming, judging by its geekbench 5 score (8100, should be closer to 8800). Is there anything that could be holding it back? perhaps my system is configured for the old chip and is not utilising the new one perfectly?

My brother built this machine for me so it might be something obvious to you guys, but alien to me.

Thanks for any help

Kernel Panic On High Sierra 10.13.6 — OpenCore Boot Configuration Help

By Freirburro

ventura

A boot failure is one of the most frustrating issues when setting up a Hackintosh. The error message or last verbose line before the freeze is the key to identifying the root cause.

Step 1 — Boot with Verbose Mode

Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to your boot arguments.

Step 2 — Check Firmware Settings

Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and CFG Lock. Set SATA to AHCI. Enable UEFI boot mode.

Step 3 — Validate OpenCore Configuration

Run ocvalidate on your config.plist. Use ProperTree to perform a clean snapshot.

Step 4 — Test with a Fresh USB Installer

Recreate the installer on a different USB drive and try a USB 2.0 port.

Expected Results

  • Verbose boot passes the previous stopping point
  • The installer sees the target disk
  • Keyboard and mouse respond during the installer

Hackintosh GPU Guide: Ivy bridge i3 3320 hackintosh

By Freirburro

catalina

Graphics issues usually stem from an unsupported GPU, missing acceleration patches, or incorrect boot arguments. Below is a systematic approach to diagnosing and fixing them.

Step 1 — Verify GPU Compatibility

Check if your GPU model is natively supported in your target macOS version. AMD Radeon RX 400/500/5000 series generally work natively. NVIDIA support ended at High Sierra for most cards.

Step 2 — Update Essential Kexts

Ensure Lilu and WhateverGreen are installed and current.

Step 3 — Configure Boot Arguments

Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 for debugging. For AMD cards add agdpmod=pikera.

Step 4 — Confirm Metal Support

Open About This Mac > System Report > Graphics/Displays. Metal support should be listed.

Expected Results

  • Graphics acceleration is smooth
  • Correct resolution on all displays
  • No GPU-related kernel panics

Original Question: "Poor graphics performance on AMD"

I think I'm going insane.

Does my computer just hate macOS, or what? I have garbage graphics performance on macOS for doing anything. Literally scrolling causes lag. I'm getting fed up with it at this point. I'm so close to giving up. Can anyone help out?

Basically I have issues with things like scrolling. Even if I have an app called SmoothScroll, I get terrible performance just scrolling a website like apple.com. That's really my main issue. I think my GPU gets worn out by macOS as well because I hear coil whine whenever I'm on macOS. Any ideas?

Yes, I did get the updated patches that improved graphics performance. They are vastly improved from before but performance could still be a lot better.

Specs: - Ryzen 7 1700 - Gigabyte Radeon 5700 XT Gaming OC - MSI B350 PC Mate - Fenvi HB-1200 - 16GB RAM - Samsung 960 Evo 500GB

Sorry for the terribly formatted post. I'm just so frustrated right now.

Original Question: "Building a Bad Apple, need some recommendations and help. ."

Hey all,

Currently working on a G3 build at the moment using some old components I have at the moment. Presently I have a 4690K and 32GB of Corsair memory, and of course the case.

I'm planning on using The Laser Hive's rear conversion plate, as well as a 240mm radiator where the original fan is mounted, and a Barrow pump/res/block combo. I've got a Corsair TX750M as my intake fan so it'll be running in negative pressure config.

I was just looking for what options work best for a direct install of Catalina on an mATX Z87 board, and what would you reckon would be a good match, GPU wise? I'm thinking a Radeon RX5500 should do nicely, but I'm not sure how well that plays with Catalina.

Also, I need some replacement bits for the G3 case, namely a side panel, top handles and the latching mechanism that sits under the main board. Does anyone have access to a store which sells these, or even anyone who has 3D printable files for these parts?

Any help would be appreciated. It's a bit of an uphill battle, but dangit, it'll work.

Original Question: "Rebuilt my Hackintosh into a Cooler Master NR200, and mixed up all the parts!"

Rebuilt my Hackintosh into a Cooler Master NR200, and mixed up all the parts!

Quick backstory:

  • I had all the parts, except a new SFF case.
  • I was using a full size ATX board initially for my Hackintosh in an NZXT 510, and a Mini-Itx build as my primary gaming rig in a corsair 280x.
  • During quarantine, I scored a 9900k from some guy whose kid broke his alienware laptop, so he took it apart and sold me the processor for cheap. SCORE.
  • Ultimately, I had the time on my hands, and I wanted to rebuild my gaming set up with a better water-cooled loop, plus it was due time to do a cleaning.

What I did:

  • The not relevant bit:
    • Rebuilt my mini itx gaming rig using the 9900k and a GA-Z370 Aorus Gaming Wifi board, 32GB RAM, GTX 1080 ti - into a full Lian Li 011D Custom water cooled loop.
  • The Relevant bit:
    • Rebuilt my ATX hack into a Mini-itx beast using:
      • i7-9700k
      • Asus Z390i (mint itx)
      • Cooler Master Hyper Black 212
      • SF Dagger 650w SFX
      • Cooler Master NR200 White
      • Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT Nitro+
      • 16GB DDR4 Crucial Ballistix RAM
      • Broadcom BCM94360NG - plug & play wifi card (Replaced the onboard wifi card from Asus)
  • Whats Working
    • Everything... iServices, DRM, GPU Acceleration, Audio, Wifi/Bluetooth etc.
  • Havent Tried
    • Integrated graphics

How I Did it:

  • Rebuilt the EFI Folder on an existing flash drive installer I already had on 10.15.6
  • Followed the vanilla guide, along with couple other users suggestions regarding usb ports to get wi-fi / bluetooth working
    • Using USB Inject All Kext & setting XCHI Port Limit to false.

What i'm not happy about:

  • My cable management looks like ass. Had to take the build a part a couple times, because the io cover of the mobo was too beefy, and wouldn't let my GPU lock in correctly. So I finally got it running, and tapped out for the day. I'll revisit eventually.
  • Cooling may be limited... ideally i'd like to get a AIO for the CPU, and be able to install some fans on the top of the case to pull in some fresh air, and exhaust through the side.

Original Question: "Any tips/guides to dual boot Ryzentosh 5 1600 AF and Windows 10 on Gigabyte MoBo?"

Hi, I'm new in all this Hackintosh stuff and pretty scared to do it, I was trying to find guide for my exact setup which is Ryzen 5 1600 AF, GTX 1660, Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H V2 with 16 gigs of RAM but I couldn't find anything 1:1

I have a few questions:
-Do I have to install Windows again and lost all my data?
-Does anyone have Hackintosh on my CPU, and is it good, is everything working?
-Will Mac be really better for tasks such as film editing, computer graphics et cetera?
-Would these programs work fine on my Ryzentosh: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and is sync with iPhone good?
-Can I have both systems on the same SSD drive? I have only one so it's problem, the second one is HDD (I don't want to place any system on this guy-)

Thanks and sorry for my english I don't know if it's that bad
