How did your hackintosh go? Let me know here!

[@oriolamaroporcel9670]

Hi bro! When I start my installation USB it only shows the windows option. It's any solutios for my problem? Thanks!

[@24kCookieMusic]

I have problem when I boot from usb stick there is only 1 option Windows and nothing else. Yes I’ve downloaded boot files

[@titustucan9654]

@@24kCookieMusic I have the same problem, just Windows shows up

[@karpoh5595]

I got one question not related to hackintosh, i yesterday removed my rtx 1060 graphics card for some reason. And i realize my integrated graphics card(my cpu is i7 7700k) can't show the bios screen. When it boot to the Windows screen it shows, but when it boot into bios it just blank screen. Any idea?

[@titustucan9654]

Hi Brandon, you're our only hope. We are a few people with the same problem here. When booting from the stick, only boot option "1. Windows" appears, nothing else, no USB (external dng), no OpehShell.efi, no ResetNVRAM. Any idea?

[@ishaan6512]

This guy deserves more views. Such precise information and no bs video. Thank you sir

[@titustucan9654]

Hi guys, and thanks Brandon for an excellent tutorial. BTW I had an issue with only option in the opencore boot menu: 1. Windows. I figured out what was happening. I noticed in the posts below that many of you had the same issue. Here is the resolution: In the Misc/Boot section this parameter was like this HideAuxiliary = Yes. In fact this is how it was in the sample.plist that came from opencorepkg 0.7.6 which was renamed then to config.plist. In the Dortania documentation, in this section it says: leave it unchanged, but above it, in the picture it was HideAuxiliary = No . I didn’t double check. When I change it to No, the picker menu appeared entirely… Thanks again Brandon

[@editedtothemax2742]

Thank you so much!

[@jimpatrickpascua]

Thanks, dude :) I did the installation successfully on: CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K 8th gen coffee lake GPU: Radeon RX 5700 XT MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte z370 hd3 The challenge was to set up the config.plist, but after reading the documentation, like 3 times :D I finally did it :)

Thanks Brandon! I used your guide as well as the Dortania and got a great system built and running in less than 4hrs. Been wanting to build one for years! Great video!!

[@azikkii]

You should add a note in the video to switch your boot order to the USB at the top before you start the installation, otherwise you’re gonna have to sit in front of your PC for a few hours to spam F12 to manually choose the USB stick every time it reboots during installation.

[@aataurrehman]

Great guide as well as loved the sleek editing! Big ups!

[@ellodev]

Worked for me, thanks! You deserve more subs!

[@computercloset6165]

Thanks for the tutorial! 👍 It took a few hours of troubleshooting and I ran into a few hurdles, but I was eventually able to get macOS on my Alienware Area-51 from 2015! This thing is running beautifully! No issues whatsoever! Sound, Ethernet, standby, Apple services, are all here! Amazingly, I was even able to get my GeForce GTX 980 Ti to work flawlessly under macOS! Had a weird issue where I couldn't run particular apps like Firefox or Minecraft, but I found that adding a boot argument I found on a thread actually fixed the issue. Honestly it's kinda surreal to think I got this system running like this in a few hours lol. Swear Hackintosh never goes to plan but this time it did 🤣

[@asteen1]

yo computercloset never thought I'd see you here

[@95Comics]

hi, new subscriber here, love your videos! i decided to try the hackintosh thing, but even after reinstalling python twice, and leaving it up on the screen, when i run the cmd it says python not found any idea what i did wrong? thanks man!

[@nomondo]

Nice man. I might eventually do this one day. I have a 10400 and 1660 super but I can just use the igpu. Need a motherboard with video outs though.

did it work for you I have 1660 too, and i5 9400F is that possible?

[@twoodcc]

thanks for making these videos!

[@blueqwertz722]

In case OpenCore Boot Menu only shows "Windows" entry: Try pressing the spacebar once or changing "HideAuxiliary" in config.plist to False. Hope this heps!

[@azikkii]

This is in the dortania guide if you read that part but idk why they even make you switch it in the first place. Seems unnecessary.

[@Sky.Dog757]

Hell yeah I’m doing this right after work!

[@qwerasdfhjkio]

can I triple boot macos in another drive using this? I have arch and windows installed already, in two separate drives, and i have a spare drive that I can allocate to macos

[@stijnrombouts5327]

You can boot Linux with OpenCore. But note that acpi files and smbios will be injected to it. You can add an OSI "Darwin" check to your acpi files. And use these settings to avoid smbios injection to other os then macOS: Kernel -> Quirks -> CustomSMBIOSGuid Yes PlatformInfo -> UpdateSMBIOSMode Custom

[@co9681]

pretty sure, I have a buddy who does, or he uses passthrough KVM with manjaro, forgot which one.

[@bensonsaju9533]

Done..Installed Macos Monterey on my HP Laptop

[@ferdous_h]

Ok, I managed to run the program after a bit. The problems I encountered- 1. The AppleMCEReporter Disabler had 2 kext folder. The correct one to use is the second folder inside the first one. 2. In config.plist; BA 0000000090 > BA 0600000090 In this way, change the value of replace in kernel > patch 0, 1, 2 And third one is a minor one. In MountshellEFI, pressing ‘B’ doesn’t mount EFI folder rather the Boot folder. So has the replace the efi folder in boot. Everything else is super. Cheers.

[@ButterKing-28]

the OpenCore Boot Loader is not popping up for me. i did a previous comments tip about turning off the "hide" thing (Wich seemed to work for accople of people) but it didn't fix the issue..... any tips? I'm tempted to give up ngl xP edit: i just realized my EFI folder was in the recovery folder..... lol ... i don't think it fixed the issue though....

[@TheYourTubeProject]

So i followed the guide but as soon as i boot into my usb and choose the external usb as the option the white text that appears just stops and it doesnt proceed to enter the recovery mode…I’ve double checked the config.plist and followed everything else accordingly, any ideas on why this might be happening? Thanks

You should install MacOS on a separate drive from your Windows drive. The boot loader will let you select what drive to boot from. So if something goes wrong you should still have a Windows install.

If not, and in case something goes wrong, what do I need to know about rolling back to my (non-Hackintosh) OS, assuming data loss is not an issue and I've got a recovery image as mentioned? Would I need to reconfigure the system somehow to revert if things go south or just install the old OS as normal?
