This guide helps in creating and configuring an EFI folder for a Hackintosh setup with an i3 8100, 8GB DDR4, and ASUS Prime B360M-A motherboard.

  1. Gather Required Kexts: Collect kernel extensions for hardware components like audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.
  2. Choose Bootloader: Decide between Clover or OpenCore, with OpenCore generally recommended for newer systems.
  3. Configure config.plist: Use a plist editor to configure settings related to CPU, graphics, and motherboard.
  4. ACPI Patches:Generate custom SSDT patches for better hardware compatibility.
  5. Graphics Configuration: Ensure correct configuration of UHD 630 in EFI, including device-id and BIOS settings.
  6. Verbose Mode for Troubleshooting: Boot with '-v' argument to diagnose boot issues.
  7. BIOS Settings: Adjust BIOS for Hackintosh compatibility, focusing on AHCI mode and Secure Boot settings.
  8. Testing and Tweaking: Test the system and adjust based on feedback and errors.
  9. Community Resources: Refer to Hackintosh forums for shared EFI folders and advice.
  10. Documentation: Keep detailed notes of all configurations and changes.

Note: Building a Hackintosh requires patience and a willingness to learn. Community forums and guides are excellent resources.
