Ryzentosh - Monterey 12.7.4 - Ryzen 7 2700x - Rx 6650 Xt

I managed to configure this Hackintosh with an RX 6650 XT graphics card using the Nootrx kext. I tried other methods, but they didn't work. Eventually, I succeeded. However, I encountered two issues: 1. iMessage isn't working, and 2. it runs slower compared to Windows. Regarding performance, I suspect it might be because of the slow SSD (Emtec X150 250GB), but otherwise, it seems to function normally. I'm considering upgrading to Ventura.

Can I dual boot Windows 11 and Mac OS? Seem to have an issue with my config file.

Waking issue once desktop sleep.

Waking issue once desktop sleep.
  1. i9-14900K Raptor Lake
  2. AMD Radeon RX 580 (Polaris 20)
  3. G.Skill Trident 32GB DDR5-6000
  4. Crucial MX500 500GB SATA
  5. Asus TUF Gaming Z790-Pro WiFi
  6. Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX211 160MHz
  7. Realtek ALC1220P / ALC S1220A
  8. Realtek RTL8125B
  9. Sonoma 14.4.1

The only issue I have so far Is I can't wake desktop once sleep. Is this a known issue? I saw a lot of reddit, github or googling successful hackintosh but no one mentioned this issues. Am I missing something? I'm using iMac20,2 or I should be using either MacPro7,1 or iMacPro1,1 instead?

My config.plist --> Note: I remove serial from "PlatformInfo".

Error Sound HDMI

I recently installed MacOs Ventura on my Asus TUF Gaming A520m-plus wifi ryzen 5 5600G IGPU enabled pc.

But I noticed some problems with the sound, the sound card is recognized, but I have an HP m24fwa monitor with sound, macOS recognizes it too but I can't increase and decrease the volume and after some time macOS stops recognizing it.

Is there a way to fix it?

Slow to open apps

Hello guys, my question is here in the hackintosh sub because I never used a real Mac and don’t know if this happens with them.

When I have a fresh stalled system, install Microsoft office, per example,then I start word, it will only open after about 20 seconds.

After the first time the app will open faster, but if I reboot the system, here comes the 20 seconds.

The question is, is this how it really works, I need to let the apps open when my system is booting for them to open faster, I never made a good Hackintosh, my ssd is low quality or anything else?

I didn’t provide my specs because this occurs with all hackintoshes I used.

English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes.

New hackintosh install. Minimum oc files or customize the oc to the machine?

My question is regarding the approach that we should take at the moment of the install a new hackintosh open core… should we follow the guide or should we customize for the machine?

Probable we can use a usb stick of Linux and create ssdt, usb maps or customize kext…

What is your approach with a new install?

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014) - MacBookAir6,2 - i7, 8GB HD5000 Ventura OpenEmu not working

My 2014 Macbook air running Macos Ventura through OpenCore 1.4.3 is crashing when I try to run OpenEmu 2.4.1

The OpenCore patches are all installed correctly and from what I saw the HD5000 video drive is already running with acceleration activated. Every time I try to run a game it gives an error regardless of the emulation core I use.

Tried to give permissions access to OpenCore but it didn't help.

SMCSuperIO fan configuration

Hello!
I have seen this document in VirtualSMC GitHub page that describes how to adjust the fan speed through using a tool. I have an Intel NUC10I5FNKN with ITE chip. You can read the temperature from the sensor but to adjust the speed in programs like mac fan control you need to create a fan curve. Another link I found was this one. I'm a beginner and I don't know where I should run this "fanpwmgen" tool to create the curve and where to configure it. If...

Mac Pro 6,1 showing up in iCloud twice?

so im using the latest update of OCLP on the latest Sonoma on my Mac Pro 6,1 and when I just rebooted and logged in to the Mac it said I needed to resign in to iCloud, so I did, then it prompted my iPhone with a 2fa number process and now my Mac Pro is showing up twice? not sure if this is a known bug but that's pretty unusual since the only thing ive changed was my OCLP version.

im just going to remove the older one from my iCloud account but is this something I should expect on every reboot or is this just a random bug?

Hey guys, so I am running a dual boot with Sonoma and Windows 11 and I wanted secure boot to be enabled for some Windows games in order to work for example Valorant.

6950 XT and Sonoma - spoofing truly needed?

Hi, I am preparing to do s 14700k, Asus z790 creator, red devil 6950 XT build.

Very confused about 6950 XT.

I have read that spoofing isn't needed if symbios 1.1. Also read spoofing is good idea if you also have dual windows boot. And read about NootRX as being a no spoof method but that it is work in progress that does not perform optimizations like whatevergreen.

Saw this

https://github.com/TylerLyczak/Unsupported-6900XT-Hackintosh-Fix

2-3 years old but is this considered the best method now?

Then saw this (somewhat newer than above) about dealing with PCI bridge and not using SSDT-BRG0.dsl.

https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/tree/main/11_Graphics/GPU/GPU_undetected

Read about ssdttime as way to deal with PCI bridge naming.

Read in German forum where this kext is mentioned: AMDRadeonNavi2xExt.kext, but on another site read that this results in video decoding not working.

So... Head is spinning.

Any tips on this day 30 April 2024 that results in highest chances of

  1. Stability
  2. Full hardware acceleration
  3. All video decode/encode functionality
  4. Working in windows dual boot
  5. As post Sonoma update proof as possible
  6. Best possible metal performance

I don't mind in the weeds technical approach if needed. Just trying to figure out what is current ground truth.

Thanks!

help update venture to sonoma by apple update

Perks of having a hackintosh 🤣

My Hackintosh somehow got warranty on the apple website

Just yesterday I did install macOS Monterey to my workstation and choose MacPro6,1 (Mac Pro 2013) SMBIOS, pre-checked the serial number and it was wrong, but sometime after this, I see notification that I can purchase Apple Care+ and get shocked about this. I did immediately checked apple website and somehow I got warranty on my "Mac Pro". Can someone explain me for it? It is actually a bug because this Mac Pro is vintage and Apple don't sell it, I don't know any else warranty activation methods. Sorry for bad grammar, I'm not native speaker and on emotions right now. Feel free ask to ask anything.

Someone has Photoshop running on an iMac 10,1 with Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224), OCLP 1.4.3 ?

The problem seems to be that an older photoshop setup says that you cannot run it on the new mac OSX and when you have a new photoshop setup it says you cannot run it without a good graphic card. Anyone know a good installation for me on Sonoma 14.4.1 ?

help build the cheapest and smallest hackintosh for xcode 15

Hello,

I was tempted to buy a mac mini Late 2014 and use opencore to install sonoma but was advised that i would have terrible performance with it, so i’ve decided do this instead.

Requirement 1: Budget around £250 with some slack. I will be buying all used parts of course.

Requirement 2: SFF size, compact GPU.

Requirement 3: I want to code apps for IOS and want it to be somewhat future proof. Sonoma and xcode 15. Thats it. I don’t care about doing literally anything else on this hackintosh. I will RDP into it so i can do all my web browsing on my windows PC instead.

Firstly, what generation CPU would you recommend? would a 4790k be sufficient? I don’t expect it to be blazing fast. I just need it to be usable unlike those slow VMs which literally take 30 seconds to minimise a window lol

Secondly, what GPU would you recommend that will work with sonoma and xcode 15? literally the bare minimum GPU. Ideally a compact one that can fit in those narrow dell optiplex cases if i decide to get a used optiplex as my base.

Thanks so much in advance.

Trying to Reimage my 2017 iMac - hanging

Trying to Reimage my 2017 iMac - hanging

I have a 2017 iMac with OCLP installed, the system was native up to Ventura, with OLCP I have Sonoma installed.

Long story not worth getting into, I need to reimage. My plan was to use the Apple recovery tool to get a Ventura baseline, then install OCLP, then finally put Sonoma on it.

I started this process about 2 hours ago and now I see this:

https://preview.redd.it/zu1s1ng50ixc1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=520db7c97a7219669d65f454c7e4b31272dc2cf0

Where do I go from here? Should I just try to restart the system and see where I stand or should I let this keep going? The USB-C Gigabit NIC is showing activity but in my network console (Unifi) it looks like I am not seeing any activity up or down.

My biggest concern is that it hasn't moved from "starting up" yet.
