https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/OpenCore-Ryzen1700-Vega64 – GitHub EFI Commit from my Ryzen 1700 (NOT FEATURED IN VIDEO)
https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/OpenCore-Haswell-iGPU – GitHub EFI Commit from Haswell CPU with Integrated Graphics (Featured in Video)
Note: These githubs have had serials blanked in config.plist, and will need GenSMBIOS to fill those in. If you don't do this, imessage and other apple services will not work!
Ik it's 4 yr old video but Can anyone tell me how does sdc is maded , I'm gona use sdb3 for this , wish me luck I'll update if anyone will ask
I watched this entire video to find that one little note at the very end that you can copy the efi of the usb to the efi of the ssd and then it will be bootable without the usb. thank you for including that because i was so lost! lol
Hi Chris. Just now trying to get into this type of stuff and came across your vid. I know lots have changed since but it gives me a good starting base.
Thanks for putting this together. Are you still running your Hackintosh?
Better i install a LInux or GhostBSD and modify the XFCE Desktop until looks like MacOS.
When i restart and select the USB drive there's no other option only Windows .. what is missing ? I followed all the steps
So hard stop if using a Nvidia card, evens in VMware?
I just waisted the whole dayðŸ˜
Spent 6 hrs & it doesn't work as it should be. Will try again tomorrow
I have a nvidia gpu and a intel WiFi 7 card ☹ï¸
AWESOME! I am about to restart from the pendrive. Let's see how it goes!
Title says on ANY pc, then u say u can't use Nvidia gpu lol
Did you mean "some" hardware?
br, my desktop just have dgpu, not have igu, can i do install mac os?
How come the devs dont just make an easy patcher that creates the installer , just like the legacy patcher, but for pc .
Why don't Apple commerically release OS X seperately for god's sake?
I just wish I could do Mac OS Sonoma on my Alienware area51m😊
I have a small issue when I boot up on the USB in the OpenCore boot menu only see the option of OpenShell but can't see any OpenCore or dmg options
Does this still work in 2024
Is there a config.plist for Raptor Lake? (13th/14th gen intel i5/i7/i9)
on any PC – just not nvidia which is probable 50% or more – so not ANY then –
hello i have many questions. 1. can i use all mac tools? 2. what version of mac can i use on this? 3. can i use older mac toos from back in the 90's and 2000's? when i used to use mac computers in my highschool. 3. is it safe to partition my hard drive and try to install mac on there, would that even work? etc
Hey, that's great stuff! Is this still applicable in 2024?
i did this but backwards where i used boot camp to sideload windows
Hey Chris can you help mine is stuck on apple logo after selecting to boot in open core… cpu Sandy Bridge
