How to install macOS Ventura on a Fujitsu Desktop PC. EFI creation tutorial.

Great tutorial. It would be great to do a guide for creating the bootable usb of Mac OS in Windows. Most people usually run Windows I think.

Hi, I am in despair. Today all my parts arrived, I was really happy but the installation doesn't work.

Hi, All works fine following your videos excepted audio. Speakers plugged on motherboard (rear) green jack. Try different layout-id with alcid= but I don’t find how it work. Any tips ?

[@chilltrate6934]

Great channel! 🙏🏻 Bought all the hardware for this project in hopes of getting it to work myself. Unfortunately also stuck at the Apple logo after boot menu - unable to start install. Any tips on how to proceed? Have tried 3+ different USB-disks as bootables, will continue trying.

[@chilltrate6934]

Found the problem, partially. Some of the kext were not linked: • SMCSuperIO • SMCProcessor This was signified by the red “dots” next to the kext, instead of green colored like the others. Had to download them manually and plop them in the OCAT specified directory. Now I get well on they way on install, before computer restarts at ~75%. I will try a different USB drive to boot from. If that does not work I will try and enable verbose install, if there is such a thing, to see where in the installation things go off track.. I’ll keep you posted.

[@chilltrate6934]

Have tried booting install from different USB drives. Now the issue seems to be the hard drives i try to install MacOS on. No matter how I format and partition two different drives. Depending on what I do the install log varies, but a common thread seems to be ”ignoring bom filesystems mismatch due to security setings” .. I have tried both extended journaled with GUID and APFS. Both break down at 12-minute mark during install. Any takers?

[@hulkhodn5728]

One question, did you do the steps at the NVRAM icon in OCAD also when installing the dedicated gpu? ( at min 03:50 )

[@BartechTV]

The iGPU frame buffer patches you see at 5:53 should all be gone. In this video I delete two and leave one. If you're disabling the iGPU in the BIOS and using a DGPU then you should delete all three since there's no iGPU to patch.

Will this work on a FUJITSU FUTRO S520? Fujitsu PC are hard to come by here but I did find this one.

[@BartechTV]

No, the Futro S520 uses an unsupported AMD SOC. You don't need to get a Fujitsu PC specifically, there's nothing special about this PC that makes it more hackintoshable than any other. If you can't get this PC just get a Dell, or an HP, or a Lenovo, with a 4th gen or newer Intel CPU.

[@Duffloop]

I used this guide with a H81M-HDS + i54460. Ventura installed and boots fine with USB - copied the EFI to the SSD - (though I think the latest version of patcher copied it so replaced it anyway). BUT... Remove the USB and I get 'reboot and select proper boot device' error? In Bios I changed the boot#1 device to SSD - still no luck - any ideas? (Note: strangely in the bios boot selector it says UEFI before the USB - but not the SSD) Hmmm.

[@BartechTV]

Sounds like you may have copied the EFI folder to the main partition of the SSD instead of the EFI partition. You need to mount the EFI partition of your SSD with OCAT and copy it there.

[@Duffloop]

@@BartechTV Did that - Mounted both efi's - copied over. hmmmm? Also tried the rename of the EFI partition - no luck.

I copied the EFI folder into the EFI Partition on my SSD, but the PC cannot boot from it. Did I miss something? Also my Ethernet doesn't work. I have the exact same machine that you used in your video.

[@BartechTV]

If your ethernet doesn't work, it means that RealtekRTL8111.kext isn't loaded. So, that means either you didn't copy it to the OC/kexts folder (6:21), or you didn't add it to your config.plist under kernel->add (7:06), or both. If you can't boot from the SSD, then the EFI folder from the USB isn't properly copied over to the EFI partition of your SSD, or SATA mode isn't set to AHCI, or the SATA port isn't enabled in the BIOS.

Use OpenCore Auxiliary Tools to mount the EFI partitions of both your USB and your SSD, and then copy the EFI folder from the USB to your SSD. Then you can remove the USB and boot directly from the SSD.

[@BartechTV]

The Ventura installer that Apple makes available for download comes in the form of a macOS executable that only runs in macOS. To create an installer USB in Windows you have to use a different method, as shown in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDdnZSkraiKm68

[@whoislupu]

I am trying the same thing but after patching it freezes at loading. I think the VGA port is not supported. How did you managed to do it?

[@BartechTV]

It won't work with VGA. MacOS doesn't support VGA because the last Mac with a VGA port came out almost 20 years ago. You need to use the DVI port. I used a DVI->HDMI adapter.

[@lelinuxien52]

Starting with macOS, you can prepare USB media with all macOS system (about 12GB). Starting with Windows is possible (BarTechTV made a KZbin video about it) but you prepare a USB key with macOS Recovery tools only that request macOS downloading during setup. That"s why you need prepare a full macOS media after installing your first workable Hakintosh.

Hi, thanks for this easy tutorial. Everything is working fine until I run the post-install root patch. When I reboot, I can log on. But in less than a minute, os is freezing. I don't undertsand, because I can use my system normaly without graphic acceleration. After applying Opencore Legacy patch : everything goes wrong :(

[@BartechTV]

What is your CPU?

[@carljack214]

It’s an intel core i3 4130.

[@BartechTV]

So that's HD 4400 graphics, and you have it spoofed as HD 4600 ? I've heard of others with crashes related to WindowServer not reporting in when using OCLP and a spoofed HD 4400, perhaps due to a bug in OCLP's graphics driver patches. Check that you have the latest version of OCLP, and that you have "IGD Memory" set to "64M" and "DVMT/Fixed Memory set to "MAX" in the BIOS. In your config.plist, under Device Properties->PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0), you should have AAPL,ig-platform-id set to 0300220D and device-id set to 12040000. Try removing the framebuffer-fbmem, framebuffer-patch-enable and framebuffer-stolenmem patches since they shouldn't be needed after setting IGD memory in the BIOS. If that doesn't help then I'm sorry but I don't have any more suggestions. You could get a cheap i5 with HD 4600 graphics, so that the spoof is no longer needed, or get a cheap GPU like an RX 560 or RX 460 so that you can disable the iGPU entirely and not need to use OCLP at all.

[@BartechTV]

This PC has no HDMI, only DVI. You can't get HDMI audio from a DVI port with a DVI to HDMI adapter because DVI only carries a video signal, no audio. You can add a graphics card with HDMI output to get HDMI audio, and any connector patching should be handled automatically by Whatevergreen.kext.

[@BartechTV]

You should only need to copy it once. It needs to be on the EFI partition of your SSD, not on the main partition. The EFI partition should be a FAT32 partition 200MB in size, and would have been created automatically by Disk Utility when you formatted the SSD during the install process.

Somehow strange! To install Ventura on a so-called Windows machine is apparently an Apple Mac absolutely necessary? But maybe I'm too stupid even for an Apple?

[@BartechTV]

A working macOS machine isn't absolutely necessary but it is much easier, due to the way Apple distributes macOS. They no longer distribute macOS as a disk image. They distribute it as a macOS application, which you have to run in order to get the disk image. However, you can create a bootable Ventura installation USB in Windows by following the instructions in my other video -kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDdnZSkraiKm68
