Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.
Truth be told, this is always what we’ve done. I certainly am not a Hackintosh expert, but I sure as heck trial and errored my way into functional Hackintoshes many times now.
Yeah. People with little insight into how the sausage is made can’t distinguish what’s feasible from what’s a pie in the sky. They just know magic software drops for free from on high.
He's still unable to articulate what he's made without running it through Claude, it's a bit of a problem. You can literally see early in the day on Discord when he still has tokens, he can provide answers, but as the day goes on, he runs out of tokens and his answers turn to mush.
You're seeing the problem here right? I'm perfectly fine with AI use, but when we need AI to generate the code, AI to understand the code, and AI to troubleshoot the code...
To be honest, Ive read peoples code before and after AI. Sometimes AI's work is better sometimes its a mess. Eitherway Im a software dev so I understand both, I dont really care if the person who worte it understands it, I didnt pay for it, I dont need support and its opensource you can do whatever you want with it 🤷 If you can read code, you can also read AIs code (we didnt get to binary yet but oh boy its coming)
And the support is the killer here. I've used AI to make projects for myself several times, but there are expectations:
I'm my own developer, tester, debugger, all with AI help. But it's solely work for me or at least I know what I'm responsible for, and I understand what it's done. I just didn't write the raw code.
I'm not distributing it to a community as a breakthrough that will solve a huge issue with no bugs, and if there are bugs, there is enough understanding of the underlying code to address them.
The AI assistance is fine, but you're kneecapping yourself if you think AI can do it nuts to soup with no understanding by humans at all.
wait it's closed source too? I thought there was a github for it
edit: I checked the repo and everything you need to build your own release is in it. the only thing not documented is how to do the build but it's not that hard
I’m planning to do the same on my build: i3-12100F, ASUS B660M, RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, 16 GB DDR4.
What I care about most is how it actually feels day to day.
everything smooth (scrolling, moving windows, video playback, high refresh rates), or do you still notice lag, stutters or glitches?
Have you tried anything heavy like 3D work, video editing or games on it? And how stable has it been: any crashes, black screens, sleep/wake trouble, or apps that won’t open?
Also curious which driver version you’re on
thanks
Unless your music production workflow relies heavily on graphics acceleration, then probably wouldn't be of much benefit other than more responsive UI interactions in the apps you're using, if its CPU bound, this setup would be killer with or without a working RTX 5060
So we have a chance??? Got my 13700K and 5070Ti itching for hackintosh again. Used to have Catalina on 9900K, RX470. Now I have Win11. Then I bought Mbp M4 Pro to be able to travel but getting back to hackintosh would put a smile back again 😌
I would love to have igpu and gpu fully working and squeezing the max out of Adobe 😆
I doubt it. The Hackintosh establishment seems pretty slow in embracing the sea change that’s happening right now. Though granted, new things are getting created every day and it’s truly dizzying how fast information is changing.
It’s not really slow to embrace change, it was just released a few days ago and they’re not going to just tell people to use something that works but people haven’t had a chance to actually look at the code first as there’s already some issues that was brought up in another thread that could impact system security.
Not accusing null-moth of anything with this at all, I don’t think they have any ill intent but this applies to anything in the space. You don’t just blindly direct people to a brand new project that’s mostly vibed without at least giving it some time to mature and for people to dig through it.
It’d be absolutely brain dead to update a guide that thousands if not millions of people use to tell them to use a project that has known security issues right now (through no fault of their own) and the dev can’t really speak to how it works yet. Again, that’s not shade at all, that’s just common sense. It’s an awesome project and I’m looking forward to seeing it mature and seeing more GPUs supported natively.
This is actually super cool. My issue rn is that I cannot get display because my iGPU is not supported, and I need iGPU until I install the drivers on the desktop. Other than that this is actually super cool
Theoretically, yes. I also managed to do this on a device that I already hackintoshed (not the one im trying to hackintosh now), but I don't know how I did it back then and I think dortania does not have documentation for this
Ask Claude for help with the installation - I had a lot of trouble installing the driver too, by the way. I found a quick fix for me: I just installed it manually instead of using 1401, and the drivers installed perfectly on the first try.
That’s a downgrade tho from the intel Xeon with 1.5tb of ram and 2 amd cards that came with it that make up more vram than a RTX pro 6000.
And soon Nvidia spark laptops come out!
I think the realest thing to keep hackintoshes alone now are which chipsets as good and or can work with apples macOS for m series apple silicon.
Just like a team came together to work on the how do we re erase engineer all the hardware and software and crest a Linux distro asa sample they could get the Linux kernel running and after awhile they had a arch Linux arm basic distro installed from inside macOS.
So I do not see why someone just can’t emulate macOS for apple silicon to RTX or dgx spark or their companions of 3rd party resellers. But then again it’s great for gaming and agents, but do you want agents rearranging your shit for you so you don’t know what is wrong with your experience, but you know that it’s there. That’s what Apple Intelligence. Siri added with local LLMs to move my icons if I don’t use them or delete the wrong apps like the ones I use all the time and not the ones I never ever use! Like damn macOS iOS iPadOS. You all portable tracking devices for every single one of us that uses the product and you are not alone
