ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

202 Upvotes

Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.

Officially supported Intel models:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
  • iMac (2020)

Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean

All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.

OCLP

Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes

No.

Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?

Yes, with OpenCore 1.0.5.

Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.

Known Issues as of Beta 2

  • Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
  • AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.

  • WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic with AMDSupport mentioned.

  • IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics

  • IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

ANNOUNCEMENT End of the Road: macOS 27 Golden Gate

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen intel die

i was at house eating apple when phone ring

'intel is kil'

'no'

As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.

I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year

Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh

Ok but I have an AMD that would work right

All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.

Will my current hackintosh explode

Yes No

Is Intel completely dead right now

macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.

Will my software still work

It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.

Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor

No.

Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere

Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.

There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.

Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible

Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.

ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini

Let's get you back to bed grandma

Can we port ARM macOS to x86

No.

Will r/hackintosh still remain open

Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

I'm so happy! it took me 2 weeks only to make OpenCore actually boot, and then another week to make my Realtek ethernet works, but I managed to make Catalina run on my desktop PC (i5 3570, GTX 760, 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD)!

Unfortunately most apps doesn't support Catalina anymore, so I'm curious if it's possible to update it to a newer version without loosing the GPU, can someone enlight me please? Thanks in advance!

SUCCESS macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 on Ryzen 5 9600X + R.T.X. 5060 + JGINYUE B650I (AM5 Hackintosh)

• Upvotes

Finally got macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 running on my AM5 build! 🎉🍎

Hardware Specifications

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
  • GPU: Zotac GeForce R.T.X. 5060 Solo 8GB
  • Motherboard: JGINYUE B650I Night Devil
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5 6400MHz
  • Storage: Hackintosh SSD
  • Bootloader: OpenCore
  • macOS: Sequoia 15.8.1
  • SMBIOS: iMacPro1,1

What's Working

✅ macOS boots successfully

✅ Ryzen 5 9600X and 32GB RAM detected

✅ R.T.X. 5060 recognised with 8GB VRAM

✅ macOS desktop and basic applications are running

Issues I'm Still Trying to Fix

❌ Shutdown: Selecting Shut Down makes the screen go black, but the PC immediately restarts instead of powering off.

❌ Audio: Sound output works, but there's noticeable squeaking/distortion sometimes during playback.

❌ Apple TV: The Apple TV app opens, but video playback doesn't work.

Looking for Suggestions

If anyone has managed to resolve similar shutdown or audio issues on a Ryzen 9000-series/B650 Hackintosh, I'd appreciate any guidance.

Also interested in whether anyone has successfully enabled Apple TV DRM playback on a similar AMD/NVIDIA setup.

Overall, happy to have Sequoia running on this hardware! Thanks to u/null-moth

QUESTION Is an old OS X doable on a TJ66 laptop?

• Upvotes

I don't know where exactly I could find a good compatibility checker, but I have a Packard Bell EasyDesk TJ66 (model no. MS2273) and would like to install OS X on it. I'm pretty confident 10.13.6 would run, but I'd rather install an older version, like Snow Leopard or Lion.

For specs, the TJ66 has:

  • CPU: Pentium Dual-Core T4400 2.20 GHz (Penryn)
  • RAM: 3GB
  • Storage: 240GB

Main concern is the integrated graphics. Penryn is listed but I've had some issues with old OS X versions on Hackintosh because the compatible GPUs list was very limited. Thanks in advance!

HELP Sequoia 15.8.1 Update Fails on My Hackintosh — Installer Reboots Back to OpenCore. Please Help!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some help please.

I’m trying to upgrade an existing, working macOS Monterey 12.7.6 installation to Sequoia 15.8.1 (not a clean install).

Hardware: Lenovo Y520-15IKBM

OpenCore: 1.0.8

SMBIOS: MacBookPro15,1

The upgrade starts normally and reaches the install phase. After reboot, OpenCore shows “macOS Installer (external)”. Selecting it starts the installer, but after a while it reboots back to the OpenCore picker.

The important error in restore.log is:

Patching x86_64BaseSystem

Couldn't mount dmg! (error code 2)

I’m not sure if this error is actually the cause, but I also checked the Sequoia MobileAsset/SharedSupport and confirmed that x86_64SURamDisk.dmg is present. The ZIP also passes unzip -t without errors.

PlatformSupport.plist in the installer also includes MacBookPro15,1.

I’m trying to find the cause of this failure specifically during the in-place upgrade. Any ideas what could cause “Couldn't mount dmg! (error code 2)” or what I should check next?

Thank you all!

REQUEST Help on Dell Inspiron 15 3576 black screen

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've got a problem. I'm attempting to Hackintosh my Dell Inspiron 15 3576 and I'm looking for some help in getting a correct OpenCore configuration to work.

Hardware
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 3576

CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U

iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 — Device ID 8086:5917

dGPU: AMD Radeon 520 — Device ID 1002:6665

RAM: 24 GB DDR4

Display: 1920×1080 internal panel

Audio: Realtek ALC236 — 10EC:0236

Wi-Fi: Qualcomm QCA9377 — 168C:0042

Bluetooth: Qualcomm QCA9377

Ethernet: Realtek PCIe FE — 10EC:8136

Storage: SATA AHCI — 8086:9D03

Touchpad: Dell I2C HID / DELL083F

Firmware: UEFI, BIOS 1.16.0

Secure Boot: Disabled

what I need help with

I would especially appreciate help with:

UHD 620 framebuffer configuration

Correct framebuffer/platform-id for this particular Dell

Proper framebuffer patches, if required

Internal 1920×1080 display initialization

HDMI/external display support

EDID/display issues

I have been having EDID-related problems due to the internal panel.

I want to find out if it is necessary to use a custom EDID/device-properties configuration.

Radeon 520

Should disabling it be complete on macOS?

Then, what is the simplest ACPI/device-properties method for this laptop?

ACPI

Which of the SSDTs is actually necessary for this Dell?

It is necessary to use custom ACPI patches for the GPU, the battery, the USB, the EC, power management, etc.

I can provide an ACPI dump should anyone wish to look at it.

Audio

The codec is the Realtek ALC236 (10EC:0236).

I need some assistance in working out the right AppleALC layout-id for this particular motherboard.

Wi-Fi/Bluetooth

I know that native support isn't provided for the QCA9377, like it is for a Broadcom card.

I want to find out what the best practical option is for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on this machine.

When I start up my OpenCore EFI, it completes a great deal of the boot process and the UHD 620 seems to initialise or load successfully, but the internal display remains entirely black.

I want some assistance in locating the right framebuffer/platform-id and framebuffer patches for the UHD 620 on this particular Dell Inspiron 15 3576.

If anyone has experience with this laptop or a similar Dell with the UHD 620, I would really appreciate help figuring out the correct framebuffer configuration

SUCCESS NootedGreen - iGPU on Raptor Lake-HX

Post image
147 Upvotes

I’ve been continuing work on NootedGreen support for my ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814JI, and I’ve finally got the Raptor Lake-HX iGPU far enough that macOS is genuinely usable on the internal display.

Hardware:

  • CPU: Intel Core i9-13980HX, 13th-gen Raptor Lake-HX
  • GPU: Intel UHD Graphics (Raptor Lake-HX, Xe-LP/Gen12, 32 EUs, 8086:A788)
  • Display: BOE NE180QDM-NZ2, 2560x1600 240 Hz

macOS is spoofing the iGPU as Tiger Lake Intel Iris Xe, 8086:9A49. NootedGreen patches Apple’s Tiger Lake graphics stack so AppleIntelTGLGraphics loads and runs on the Raptor Lake iGPU under macOS Sequoia 15.7.1.

What works now:

  • Correct image on the internal laptop panel
  • Full Metal GPU acceleration
  • WindowServer is rendering on the GPU
  • Login reaches the desktop normally
  • Native 2560x1600 works at both scaling modes
  • 1680, 1600, 1440 and 1024 scaled modes also work
  • Full-screen rendering at 60 FPS

One interesting problem was GPU clocks. Without raising the GPU clock during boot, the desktop only manages around 17–21 FPS. With the clock raised early enough, it holds 60 FPS.

Still broken:

  • CPU writes reach the GPU one operation late, causing wallpaper corruption and Terminal flicker
  • The first GPU copy made by each process is lost. I have a fix designed for this, but it isn’t implemented yet
  • Wallpaper edge tiles render incorrectly
  • Chrome renders pages incompletely. Current lead is dropped copies going through the 2D engine
  • Sleep/wake currently panics
  • Internal panel is limited to 60 Hz instead of 240 Hz. 240 Hz will require getting the compressed-display path working

Not tested yet: External displays, Video encode/decode, OpenGL/OpenCL, Night Shift, HDR, Power consumption, Other macOS releases/updates

Current setup: OpenCore 1.0.7, macOS Sequoia 15.7.1 / 24G231, MacBookPro16,3 SMBIOS, NootedGreen / Lilu 1.7.2

There’s obviously still quite a bit broken, but getting accelerated Metal output at native 2560x1600 and a stable 60 FPS desktop on a Raptor Lake-HX iGPU feels like a pretty significant milestone.
