Topics discussed may involve modifying hardware or software in ways that violate Apple's End User Licence Agreement (EULA) for macOS. While creating a "Hackintosh" (running macOS on non-Apple hardware) is not typically a criminal offence in most jurisdictions, it **does breach Apple's licence terms**. You are strongly advised to review the current macOS licence agreement and consult the relevant laws in your country before proceeding.

Community Rules & Guidelines
The following rules help maintain a respectful, legal, and useful environment for all members. Violation may result in warnings, post/thread removal, temporary suspension, or permanent banning without prior notice.
Piracy & Illegal Activities
- The iATKOS community does not condone piracy or the use of illegally obtained software. Any discussion, links to, or mention of pirated material (pre-built VMs, disk images, modified installers, cracks, etc.) will result in an immediate permanent ban and account deletion.
- Piracy is illegal and will not be tolerated.
- Discussion of other illegal activities or intellectual property violations is prohibited.
Hackintosh & macOS Usage
- Building a Hackintosh is not illegal in most countries if you use a legally obtained copy of macOS. However, installing or running macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s EULA. This is a breach of contract, not necessarily a criminal act — check your local laws.
- We only support guides and methods published directly on iATKOS. Third-party tools/guides may be removed.
- No support is provided for Atom CPUs or hypervisors other than VMware Fusion.
General Posting & Conduct
- All posts must be in English (British or American acceptable; no other languages).
- No personal contact information, serial numbers, or identifiable data in posts.
- No trolling, spamming, rudeness, personal attacks, profanity, or inflammatory content.
- No advertising, affiliate links, solicitations, or commercial use.
- Search before posting; avoid duplicates or meaningless threads.
The administrators and moderators reserve the right to edit, move, or delete any content and to suspend or terminate accounts at their discretion to protect the community.
