Compatible macOS versions

• High Sierra (10.13.x)
• Mojave (10.14.x)
• Catalina (10.15.x)
• Big Sur (11.x)

Issues

• Partially-working virtualization (only VirtualBox & Parallels Dekstop 13.1.0 or below)
• Not working 3.5mm Jack microphone (only USB/Bluetooth microphones)

How to use

1. Make your USB installer with this guide
2. Clone the repository and paste “BOOT” and “OC” directories into your’s pendrive “EFI” folder
3. Download GenSMBIOS to generate unique SMBIOS information. Run it and select Generate SMBIOS, as the model select iMacPro1,1.
4. Open config.plist with ProperTree and go to PlatformInfo > Generic. Set MLB (Board Serial), SystemSerialNumber (Serial) and SystemUUID (SmUUID) to generated values. Change ROM to your network card’s MAC address without the : character. How to get MAC Address?
5. Boot it!

If audio does not work for you you have to change layout-id for your audio chipset. Find your codec here and try setting alcid in boot-args parameter to every layout-id values from AppleALC wiki until you get layout-id correct for your motherboard.

You CAN NOT use SMBIOS from this repository, it MUST be unique for every macOS installation

Sleep informations

In SSDT-SLEEP.aml there are patches for _STA method. They are applied to _SB.PCI0.GPP2.PTXH and _SB.PCI0.GP17.XHC0 USB controllers. Both patches are applied only for macOS, so sleep on other systems will work normally.

Firstly, check does sleep works for your build with default disabled SSDT. If it works, you don’t have to do anything. If not, try to enable SSDT-SLEEP in config.plist. If you have same USB controllers adresses as me, SSDT should work. If it still does not work you have to find addresses of USB controllers, and modify SSDT-SLEEP.

To modify SSDT use MaciASL. If SSDT does not help read Dortania’s guide about sleep. Remember to try USB mapping.

PAT patch information

To switch to another patch search for mtrr_update_action in config.plist. Then set Enabled to true for patch which you want to use. Remember to set Enabled to false for second PAT patch.
Don’t try to use them both at the same time, it won’t work.

Adobe applications fix

Adobe applications crash on AMD Hackintoshes due to missing intel_fast_memset instructions. Follow this guide to get it working!

Guides

If you have any problems with installation or booting your macOS, kernel panics or another system related issue check OC configuration guide
If something else isn’t working properly (for example USB ports, iServices, DRM/Netflix) check Post-Install guide
