Surprisingly Easy to update from Sequioa to Tahoe. Initially the sound and usb didnt work, but I replaced the older Kexts. And new update 2.5.2 Brings HDMI audio.

Thought it would never be possible. S/O to @nullmoth ans everyone who helped make this possible! Back to my regular dual boot lifestyle💯🫶🏾

SPECS

- i9-1300HX
- R T X 4080
- 32GB DDR5 Ram

hey guys. since REA was released everything is going now crazy and fast how like reverse engineer using AI. is just mind blowing. from console to any hardware. and i was thinking about getting nvidia drivers works on hackintosh then i checked here. people already thought about it too and there is a driver working already released. i hope it works on tahoe

but i was wonder would be possible to REA a golden gate build to work on different architecture such us INTEL CPU .....

For context this machine has a 40 series GPU and I did this before the nullmoth drivers released so I was stuck with a shitty GT 710

Hi, I’m in the market for a new laptop and I’d like to know which should I get. My budget is “cheaper than an M1 Mac”. that’s it. thank you and sorry if I missed an faq that has this question answered

### What I need help with:

1. How can I bypass the `vm_shared_region_start_address() failed` error during recovery boot?

2. Which CPUID spoofing values (e.g., Comet Lake / Ice Lake) or `config.plist` Quirks should I use for 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs?

3. Any suggested kexts, patches, or boot-args to get past early kernel initialization?

Please support! Any help, suggestions, or EFI tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to use the trackpad on this? I have been trying with no luck.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking into running macOS Sequoia on my Windows laptop and would appreciate advice from people experienced with Hackintosh, especially on AMD Ryzen laptops with .R.T.X. GPUs.
My current laptop specifications:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 260 (3.80 GHz)
Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon 780M
Dedicated GPU: NVIDIA .R.T.X. 5060 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM)
RAM: 16 GB
Storage: Approximately 1 TB SSD
OS: Windows 11, 64-bit
What I want to achieve:
I’d like to dual-boot macOS and Windows on the same laptop, ideally running macOS Sequoia or a newer supported version. My main priority is getting proper GPU acceleration rather than running macOS with basic display output.
I understand that NVIDIA .R.T.X. 50-series GPUs aren’t supported for native macOS graphics acceleration, but I’m curious whether the integrated Radeon 780M can be made to work, or whether there are any alternative approaches worth exploring.
My questions:
Is macOS Sequoia installable on the AMD Ryzen 7 260 platform using OpenCore?
Is there any way to get hardware GPU acceleration working on the Radeon 780M?
Can the NVIDIA .R.T.X. 5060 Laptop GPU be used in macOS at all, or is it completely unsupported for acceleration?
Are there any successful Hackintosh builds using similar AMD mobile platforms or Radeon 780M graphics?
What major issues should I expect with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, sleep, trackpad, brightness control and power management?
Would you recommend attempting this installation, or would a virtual machine be the more practical option?
I’m comfortable following technical guides and troubleshooting, but I’d prefer to understand the realistic limitations before spending time on this.
If anyone has tested a similar configuration, I’d appreciate your experience, EFI references and any relevant compatibility information.

Quick update on the Pixel 1 running iOS 16. I got the GPU working, so the whole iOS UI is now rendered by the Pixel's own Adreno 530 instead of the CPU. It also boots a lot faster now, about 20 seconds from the boot screen to the lock screen.

How the GPU part works, for the people who asked last time: iOS normally only talks to Apple GPUs through Metal, which obviously doesn't exist for an Adreno. But Core Animation (the thing that draws the whole iOS UI) still has an old OpenGL ES renderer hidden inside it. So with a lot of help from Claude, I wrote a GPU driver in the iOS kernel for the Adreno 530: power, clocks, firmware, memory, command submission. On top of that I ported Mesa's open source freedreno driver (the same one Linux uses) to iOS. Core Animation thinks it's talking to Apple's OpenGL, but every frame is actually drawn by Mesa on the Adreno, running at 600 MHz.

Getting it to look right was the hardest part. Some of the effects iOS uses (blurs, Control Center buttons, the lock screen clock) depend on shaders Apple never wrote for OpenGL, so I had to write those myself. The GPU also scales every frame up to the Pixel's 1080p screen, and the screen now refreshes at up to 60 Hz instead of 30.

Other stuff since the last post:

• All the stock apps are there now (Weather, Calendar, Notes, Maps, Music, Files...)
• The default iOS 16 wallpaper works
• Real battery percentage and charging
• All 4 cores running (turbo up to 2.15 GHz works too, but it gets really hot with no thermal management, so it's off by default)

Still not working: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, sound, camera, and anything that needs Metal. It's a cool demo, not a daily driver.

Everything is on GitHub now, including the GPU driver and the iOS port of Mesa: https://github.com/joranv1/ios-sailfish

Big thanks to dipa-studio for the original ios-sweet port this is built on, and to the Mesa/freedreno folks.

without verbose mode, it boots to the apple logo and after a few seconds a bar appears on the bottom and immediately after it goes straight back to lenovo boot screen. does anybody know what’s happening?

Hello I have been trying to fix/make macintosh all day, currently usb tetrhing works , dispay without gpu accesl booted , I just feel like is it worth it , will 165hz be smooth and app support be good , I don't want random kernel panics , linux would be better

HP Envy 15 j104el che esegue OS X 10.11.6.

Il Wi‑Fi Ralink e la dGPU NVIDIA GT 740M non funzionano (ovviamente), e la HD 4600 mostra qualche glitch grafico (come la barra dei menu in alto a sinistra).

Nonostante questo, dopo aver provato molte versioni di macOS, El Capitan è quella che mi dà risultati migliori.

Diciamo che sono soddisfatto del risultato (e spero di risolvere soprattutto i glitch grafici...).

Edit: L'hardware è:

- 16GB RAM DDR3

- Intel Core i7-4700MQ con Intel HD 4600

- SSD SATA

I never thought I’d see this day. I’ve been hackintoshing for a decade, but after High Sierra they ended support for my 1080Ti so I switched to team AMD. I had a RX 580, then a 6900XT, both natively supported. I got a 7900XTX which cost more than the Nvidia alternatives so that I could hackintosh but support never came. Last April I gave up and side graded to a 5080 liquid because the AMD card ran hot.

Little did I know, the 5080 would be the one to run macOS Tahoe. I remember sitting at WWDC that year hearing them announce live in person they’re ending intel support thinking “yeah I’m never hackintoshing again”. Got an M5 Pro machine and everything. But now I got to enjoy it again, with such an easy setup too.

I love this community.

It was a pain in the ass, I had to remove my GPU (rx 580)

for it to install

it kept failing “update failed to install” but I just kept selecting MacOs installer in the opencore menu
until it booted, took like 10 times or something

I got it working in KVM passthrough in Windows 11 with DDA modifications. I haven't gotten audio working yet, but network, kbm and gpu passthrough work as I'm on a dual GPU machine. I only need it for a few paid apps I lost access to after selling my Apple devices and they work well enough so It's probably good enough for now.

Got inspired by all the exciting new Hackintosh projects coming out lately, so I started working on a little side project of my own: XHUB Mapper.

It automates ACPI-based USB port mapping using the XHUB/HUBX method. A lot of people seem to struggle with mapping USB ports via ACPI. It's still a work in progress, and I need more ACPI tables from different Intel systems to make the detection and port analysis more reliable.

If you'd like to help, please send me a download link via DM to your OpenCore SysReport/ACPI folder (DSDT and SSDT files). Please only share tables from one system at a time, and remove any personal or sensitive information before sharing.

Thanks!

I have been using android since I was child and I just got a new iPhone I love it but my laptop doesnt really integrate really well with it and I really want to try MacOS but not sure if it is worth the effort I am switched like a month ago to linux but I need to change to either MacOS or windows for some school apps so what do u suggest doing

I have trying to install tohoe in windows laptop.. howeve the mouse isn't showing properly.. it's showing like vertical dots

I used the 1401 github and yes it worked on first try only the MediaTek chip still doesnt work but that is expected
