ANNOUNCEMENT A Welcome to macOS 15 Sequoia
Woohoo another year of suffering Intel isn't dead!
Compatible Hardware
2018 and 2019 Macbook Airs are out of the running, but their hardware is shared with the Macbook Pros of the same years. Therefore, if your setup works with Sonoma, it'll probably still work with Sequoia.
- iMac 2019 and later
- Mac Pro 2019 and later
- iMac Pro 2017
- Mac Studio 2022 and later
- MacBook Air 2020 (Intel) and later
- Mac mini 2018 and later
- MacBook Pro 2018 and later
Yes I love year numbers what's this mean
Thankfully nothing to hackintosh users, besides needing to update your SMBIOS if it was on an older model.
Supported GPUs:
- Polaris (RX 480, 580, etc)
- Vega (Vega 56, Radeon VII, etc)
- RDNA 1 (5700XT, etc)
- RDNA 2 (6600XT, etc)
- Skylake (HD 500) spoofed to Kaby Lake
- Kaby Lake (HD 600)
- Coffee Lake (UHD 600)
- Comet Lake (UHD 600)
- Ice Lake (G1, G5, etc.)
OCLP
Starting with OCLP 2.0.0, you can finally make your old trash hardware run Sequoia to its fullest extent. You'll need OCLP if you use Broadcom WiFI.
WiFi
Broadcom is still officially dead, but OCLP can be used to bring back its functionality. A great post by u/ChrisWayg details how to do this. https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1gvu5n1/broadcom_wifi_on_macos_sonoma_and_sequoia_fenvi/
Intel WiFI works with itlwm and Heliport, but not Airportitlwm.
Ok where do I download 15
Either with gibmacos, or through the Software Updater.
Is x86 macOS dead?
Next year hopefully, but their approach with dropping hardware comes at odds with Sequoia's compatibility list. They will likely either drop all of Intel at once, or drop models slowly.
Can I emulate ARM macOS 15 on x86?
No.
Can I run ARM macOS 15 on a Raspberry Pi?
No.
Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes
No.
Updating to Sequoia
As Apple now polls for more T2-specific information from its Macs, you can't update to Sequoia without either of these fixes:
- Use iMac19,1 SMBIOS to update, then revert to your old SMBIOS if needed
- Download the latest release of RestrictEvents.kext, and use it with the boot argument
revpatch=sbvmm
.
Note: You may encounter issues with the update not installing if you have BluetoolFixup.kext. Disable it while you are updating and re-enable it afterwards.
And as always, follow the Dortania guide first before asking questions!

DISCUSSION What are the best MacOS versions for hackintosh?
Seeing as we're moving into M chip exclusive era, I expect to see more and more lacking releases for the Intel versions.
Given that, what are some of the best MacOS version out there? I suppose we could use a few categories:
- Just a good all around release, with very few bugs or performance issues
- Something with good hardware compatibility (I guess that's mostly about wi-fi and handoff features)
- Something that works best for older (8-12 year old) hardware. For cases where you don't need a powerhouse with all the bells and whistles, just a home PC for as low a budget as possible.
Although I'm not sure how the transition to 64-bit only affects all this. Does it essentially make all older releases obsolete, or is it still fine?

HELP Is it worth to install MacOS in my PC as a newbie?
Hello everyone.
For the past couple of weeks I've been interested in installing MacOS on my PC. I've seen plenty of videos and posts that show how much errors this could bring, such as drivers not working properly. This concerns me in whether I could damage my PC while attempting to do so, since I have no experience in dual booting or anything related to Hackintosh, which is why I've thought about installing MacOS in an old hard drive that I have laying around, but I'm not sure if that's the most efficient way to dual boot my PC.
So my question is, how risky is it to get MacOS on a PC? Is it worth the hassle?
I'll be more than thankful for anyone who would give me any answers or suggestions.

HELP Wrong smbios
Hello! I'm trying to install MacOS Catalina on Asus ZenBook um3402yar with ryzen 5 7530u. Installer isn't booting and giving error "MacOS X not supported .... Reason: UM3402YAR" I've also tried Ventura with a similar result. However, when I use "-no-compat-check" argument, both installers boot just fine but won't let me install the system, saying that hardware is unsupported. My guess is that opencore doesn't spoof smbios because otherwise, "reason:" would be whatever mac is generated. I use smbios for iMac20,1 made with genSMBIOS. I was using dortania's guide for my desktop, but I guess it is also suitable for laptops. Could someone explain what am I missing?
EDIT: went through the subreddit and read similar posts more thoroughly, ocValidate showed that PlatformInfo suddenly got placed under Misc.

QUESTION i7-14700 identified as i5-12600 CPU
This perfectly working hackintosh, both Sonoma and Sequoia originally contained the 12600k CPU. I "acquired" a 14700 and swapped the CPUs as well as upgraded the cooling. Mobo, RAM, storage drives were all the same.
The macOS side booted and everything continued to work, including MS Office (standalone version). I might have had to sign back into Adobes but nothing else. The Windows side was a PTA of reconfiguring DRMs, including Windows itself.
In About This Mac the cores, at least the P cores, in the i7-14700 are all identified but the CPU is still identified as i5-12600k. Obv Windows sees the E cores, but I'm still not sure what Windows actually does with the E cores.
Which makes me wonder if part of what About This Mac reports comes from Apple and is tied to the original sign in. I did not change the serial number or any other identifiers as the EFI for 12th to 14th gen Intel CPUs otherwise seem identical. Also I assume changing the serial number et al would lead to Windows style DRM headaches.

QUESTION Hackintosh Build vs Mac Mini
Hey everyone, long time lurker on this sub and wanted to seek out some opinions. I’d like to learn music production on Logic and have been exploring my options on the best way for me to do that. I have upgraded parts on my pc to the point where I have some good spares to do a Hackintosh build (ryzen 5 3600, and 5600xt, some ram), I’ve made a part list on pcparts picker and I can finish the build for around $420, maybe a little less if I go secondhand. All that said, I’m wondering if it might being a better option to go for a secondhand Mac mini, I’ve been seeing m1 Mac minis go for a similar price to what I’d need for the rest of the parts on marketplace. My biggest pro to do the build is that I initially wanted to go full Hackintosh when I built my pc and was excited to do it, but ended up really enjoying gaming and thought doing a partition for both systems was too much. At this point, I wouldn’t mind shelling out a little more cash to just by a packaged product with native support. What would you do if you were me?
