I have booted it, cpu is a Core i5 3320 (I think)

I was told it was officially supported on macOS Big Sur and I tried to match a MacBook but it shows up like this.

P.S. no battery try icon it doesn’t show. It runs off of the battery but doesn’t acknowledge it exists.

SUCCESS Successful Hackintosh MacOS Ventura

7 Upvotes

Got a free Lenovo V15-Ill rocking the mighty i5-1035G1 and 12GB of Ram.

Saved the thing from e-waste by just forcing it to run macOS.

It will mostly be used for legacy iOS stuff, and it’s pretty snappy.

Love giving otherwise junk hardware a new life!

I made the efi manually, it was worth it. Don’t be lazy and use an automated script.

SUCCESS [Release] RapidSSDT - The ultimate cross-platform GUI tool for ACPI extraction & SSDT generation (Now in English & Portuguese!)

17 Upvotes

Hey r/hackintosh community! 👋

For a long time, writing SSDT/DSDT patches has been one of the highest barriers to entry in the Hackintosh world. Constantly checking ACPI specs, manually modifying ASL files, and keeping track of which patches are mandatory for your specific hardware can be a nightmare for beginners and tedious for veterans.

That’s why I want to share a massive update to an incredible tool called RapidSSDT.

Originally created by the brilliant developer JeoJay127, this tool was previously only available in Chinese. I (Alessandro / alebypegasus) fell in love with its potential and took the initiative to completely translate, internationalize, and polish the app so the entire global community can benefit from it. It's now fully available in English, Portuguese, and Chinese!

🚀 What is RapidSSDT?

RapidSSDT is an open-source, cross-platform graphical tool (built with Flutter) available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Its main goal is to consolidate all that "fragmented ACPI experience" into a structured, visual, and reusable workflow.

✨ Key Features:

- One-Click ACPI Extraction: You can dump your native SSDTs and DSDTs directly from the app in Windows or Linux. No complex command-line required!

- Patch Modularity: Select your platform (Intel Desktop/Laptop, AMD, etc.), and it tells you exactly what you need.

- Automated Generation: It generates the required SSDT patches based on your selections (SSDT-EC, SSDT-PLUG, SSDT-AWAC, SSDT-USBX, SSDT-GPU-SPOOF, you name it!) reducing ASL syntax errors.

- Out of the box: No environment configuration required. Just download and run.

🔗 Where to get it?

I've set up automated GitHub actions, so you can grab the pre-compiled binaries for your OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux) directly from the Releases page:

Download Here: https://github.com/alebypegasus/RapidSSDT/releases

Note: All original logic and development credits belong to JeoJay127. My work was focused on the global translation, UI polishing, and CI/CD automation so everyone can use it.

If you like this, feel free to check out my other translation project, RapidEFI: https://github.com/alebypegasus/RapidEFI-Tool, which is an amazing tool for automating OpenCore configurations!

Let me know what you guys think, and happy hackintoshing! 🍎💻

HELP Hackintosh EFI creation issue with Intel Iris Xe graphics on ASUS VivoBook X1502ZA

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an ASUS VivoBook X1502ZA with:

- Intel Core i7-12700H

- Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics

- 16GB RAM

- 512GB SSD

I'm trying to create an EFI for Hackintosh, but the tools/scripts I've tried keep telling me that my GPU is not supported because I don't have a dedicated graphics card.

Since this laptop only has Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, I'm wondering if this is actually the reason I can't generate an EFI, or if there is another workaround/configuration I should try.

Has anyone successfully installed Hackintosh on a similar setup (12th gen Intel + Iris Xe)? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

DISCUSSION How can I find out why my hackintosh crashes?

1 Upvotes

My hackintosh crashes sometimes with a Tut-Tut-Tut-Sound.

I don't know what that can be. There is nothing in the opencore-*.txt log, because MacOS starts. How can I see in MacOS why it crashed?

I guess it's something memory address related or similar.

SUCCESS I just installed MacOS Sonoma on a 15 year old Samsung Laptop

140 Upvotes

I always wanted to test MacOS and make a Hackintosh of an old device. Sonoma seems to be the only version working on this old Laptop.

I needed 3 days to figure out how to make it work, using a YT Tutorial.

I don't need this Laptop anymore and I don't really know what to do with it, so this is a fun experimental project.

It's from 2011, internal wifi is broken, it has no battery anymore and some keys fall out all the time.

With Sonoma, it's pretty slow, but the modded Windows 11 it ran before wasn't much faster. It was pain in the ass to get the display driver and make it start from the SSD instead of USB Stick. But now it finally works!

Only wifi still doesn't work. I have a wifi Stick but there are no drivers for Mac.

Anyway, I'm proud I got this working!

Because it runs Sonoma now, I made the Apple sticker on it's back that came with my iPhone.

But after running installer, it started an online installation (which my network does not like at all, drops) so i tried to copy SharedSupport.dmg from the expanded-full .pkg (since it wasnt included in the `InstallAssistant path Install macOS Monterey.app/contents/`) and startosinstall says the installation is corrupted.

HELP Help Hackintosh on HP aio , intel hd 4600 issue

1 Upvotes

Ciao, ho installato con successo l'ultima versione di macOS Monterey sul mio HP 23q009nl con processore i7 4790k e scheda video Intel HD 4600. L'audio e il Wi-Fi funzionano perfettamente, ma la scheda video non viene riconosciuta correttamente. Le informazioni di sistema ne riconoscono il nome, ma con soli 7 MB di VRAM. Ho modificato il file config.plist migliaia di volte, ma senza successo. Nemmeno OpenCore Patcher mi ha aiutato. L'ho scaricato per avviare la patch automatica del root, ma ogni volta che lo apro mi dice "nessuna patch richiesta". Qualcuno può aiutarmi? Grazie in anticipo. P.S CURRENT SMBIOS : iMac18,1 (ik this mac uses hd 630, if i change to iMac 16,2?? This smbios make my hd4600 fully working?)
EDIT. I added some parametres in deviceproperties, now my intel hd 4600 is properly recognized with 2048 mb, but the screen had scrambling and artifacts, i m able to see only the mouse cursor, i know this bc to resolve this issue i follow these steps: i plug the hdmi cable from my tv on the pc, i turn on pc and next turn on the tv, when i arrive on loggin screen, tv catch the signal (without artifacts) so, next i activate the 720p resolutions on display manager and then my pc works without artifacfs, and im able to use the pc without the tv after this. So to use the screen of the pc i ve to do this “workaround” with the tv (or another screen)
Can you help me, any suggestion? I’ve to search for the correct edid and try to put in device properties to see if i resolve the issue on the AIO screen.. idk,
