Hackintosh Configuration for ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (Intel) Running macOS Ventura

Guide Step by Step:

Preparing Your System:

1. Gather Necessary Kexts:
   • For Trackpad Sensitivity: VoodooI2C along with its satellite kexts for Synaptics support.
   • For Audio: AppleALC with layout-id for ALC257.
   • For Ethernet: IntelMausi.
   • For Wi-Fi/BT: itlwm and IntelBluetoothFirmware.

Brightness: Download AppleBacklightFixup.kext and ensure it is loaded after AppleALC in your config.

2. ACPI Preparations:

   • Compile an SSDT-PNLF for brightness control support.
   • Check and compile other necessary SSDTs like SSDT-EC, SSDT-USBX, etc., specific to your hardware.

3. Configuring BIOS:

   • Disable Secure Boot.
   • Set SATA controller to AHCI mode.
   • Disable CSM support.
   • Disable Intel SGX.

4. OpenCore Configuration:

• Use the latest version of OpenCore for better compatibility with Ventura.
• Mount your EFI partition and create the basic directory structure (EFI/OC).
• Place your kexts in EFI/OC/Kexts.
• Add your SSDT files to EFI/OC/ACPI.
• Configure your config.plist using ProperTree or a similar plist editor.

5. Configuring Kexts in the config.plist:
   • Load VoodooI2C and its Synaptics satellite kext first, followed by VoodooPS2Controller if you're using it.
   • Load AppleALC with the correct layout-id for your audio codec (ALC257).
