Need wifi working in recovery
Hi,
I wanna install MacOS Ventura on my laptop. My laptop is a acer swift 3 sf314-44. Here is a link: Acer swift 3
I made my EFI using opencore-simplify, everything is supported, but my bluetooth (i dont care about that), wifi and disk (i have a separate samsung 870 evo thats compatible). I can boot into MacOS recovery, everything works like touchpad, battery, disk recognition, they all work, but wifi doesn't. I searched for kexts for it and found out about chris1111 with the .app installer, but I cant install a .app inside recovery!
How do I get a wifi kext for my device so I can install ventura?
Specs:
CPU Ryzen 5625U
Storage 870 evo 500gb
Wifi: Realtek 8812BU
Bluetooth: Bluetooth: RZ616 Bluetooth(R) Adapter (unsupported)
Edit: Can i use one of these? Chris1111 source drivers

OCLP on hackintoshes
At the beggining i will add that I'm newbie in making hackintosh. I've managed to run bigsur on my dell e6430 (with smaller or bigger bugs) but I'm curious cuz I've seen that someone run sequoia on it. And also I know that OCLP can patch system but I've read that it's supposed to be running only on real Macs.

Can I upgrade my MacOS version through a USB installer?
My update is broken when doing it through settings. I was wondering if I can actually perform an upgrade through the bootable USB installer?

I'm in love with MacOS
I’m super grateful for whoever invented/discovered hackintoshing and also to the OpenCore community for making it possible to install MacOS on non-Apple devices.
I have tried both Windows and Linux (including many different distros). I’ve been a Linux user for maybe three years now and have been a fan ever since I started using it. Now I wanted to try MacOS.
Because I couldn’t afford an actual MacBook (even an Air), I thought, why not try hackintoshing? My laptop had low but decent specs, and I just assumed that it could handle the latest version (Sequoia).
I’ve successfully hackintoshed my laptop and been using MacOS for a few days now for school and programming stuff. It had exceeded my expectations both in the UI and UX departments. It’s like Linux, but better. And most of the apps and packages that I use, especially for programming, just work. Temps are ok, similar to Linux if not hotter sometimes, but at least not as hot as Windows.
It’s quite surprising how good the latest version runs (Sequoia) even on an older chipset like the 8th generation Intel core. MacOS devs are on another level I guess.
MacOS is pretty fun to use and I like tinkering with new OS. It has its peculiarities but nothing that I won't get used to. I like learning the keyboard shortcuts especially learning how command key works. Apple really does think different.
Now I get why people who use MacOS can’t seem to get over it because it does the job, and it does things even better than Linux in my opinion (so far).
I think I’ll keep using MacOS for the foreseeable future with Linux as a backup. Thank you for reading this post, and happy hackintoshing!

Can a laptop output MacOS installer to an external display?
I have a dell latitude 5500 that i'm trying to get working with MacOS, and it seems that it is doing everything properly until when the apple logo is SUPPOSED to show up, except i just get a black screen. This laptop's built-in screen does not work so i have it connected to a monitor via HDMI. Is it possible that the installer is trying to output to the built in display instead? If so, is there a boot argument or something i can change to make it output to the external display? (BIOS settings and opencore logs output to the external display)

Hackintosh Possible on IdeaPad Gaming 3 with Ryzen 5 4600H?
Hello r/hackintosh community!
I’m considering setting up a Hackintosh on my Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 which is currently running a Ryzen 5 4600H with integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 graphics. I was wondering if anyone here has had any success with a similar setup?
If it's possible, could you please share any working guide or point me in the right direction? I’ve searched through some resources, but I’d love to get some firsthand insights or recommendations.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

PKDownloadError error 8 while installing macOS Sequoia
Hi everyone, I’m trying to install macOS Sequoia on my device, but I keep getting this error. I know it has something to do with the internet connection; however, both Wi-Fi and Ethernet are working absolutely fine.
I’ve heard about gibMacOS, which can create full system images, but I only have access to Windows. Is there any way to make an image without having access to macOS?

iDeneb bug
I always wanted an old MacOS X machine but virtual machines were bad so I heard about iDeneb and I tried it on my old laptop from 2008 (HP Pavilion dv 6500) and when I launch it from the Disc it will load but when it wont start the macos setup if you installed it you will see before the macos is starting a littel thingy spinning and for me it just froze and after some minutes will say time out
did someone had it too?

any iPad Style Haters?
Post Catalina especially after Ventura, apple made macOS much more iPad like by moving the progress bar to bottom and the login screen a similar one to iPad. does anyone dislike it? I stayed on Ventura only because of this issue, else it is perfectly fine to Sonoma. Or are there any settings or such to bring the old screen back?

Lenovo W530 is an absolute beast
I just need to say that this machine (that is rather maxxed out relative its age with 32GB RAM, tripple-booting Win11, Sequioa and Linux Mint, 3940xm cpu, Intel AX210 wifi) has actually never failed me as an hackintosh.
Updated it to the latest point-release of sequioa just now (again) and everything just keeps on working on this thing. Graphics (OCLP), Bluetooth, Wifi, SD, sleep, shutdown, you name it. Its also rather snappy as well considering its age. No complaints here.
This is written as a reflection from when i read stuff here such as "yeah, but thats a thinkpad and they are easy....". But isn't that the ultimate thing? To hackintosh something easily? Why work hard when you can work smart? Just get one and be happy ;)

Battery life is pretty shit. losing a percentage every minute or so until it hits 1% and sits there for hours
(*Common on this machine. a Monterey build a friend of mine has does the same thing*)
Installing was a nightmare, backlight would refuse to illuminate, causing me to have to strain and shine a flashlight at the screen.
Working:
Basically everything important:
GPU Acceleration
Wifi & Bluetooth combo
Sleep/wake
iServices
my usb is mapped correctly so i've got working camera and usb ports, and a working SD reader.
Trackpad with gestures, (*while being a little buggy*) still works completely along with that trackpoint.
Not working:
Hdmi / Mini DP
the dock (I dont have one for testing)
Brightness control (Before a full sleep & wake cycle, After a full cycle, brightness will work properly.)
Keyboard mapping is wrong:
* FN + F1,F2,F3 are correctly mapped to volume control
* FN + F6 Is mapped to brightness down
* FN + F8 Is mapped to print
* FN + F10 is hardcoded to keyboard backlight.
* FN + Insert reboots the machine and resets brightness on reboot. (*unfun since the backlight doesn't illuminate 90% of the time)*
Please if you have one of these. Leave it on windows or use linux, MacOS is NOT worth it on these. Genuine hate project. I only did it cause my other two (*much better machines*) have gone missing in one way or another.
*^(i will not be releasing an EFI, If you really want MacOS on this E-waste of a laptop then just do it yourself. it'll be a fun way to kill a few hours :))*

How were hackintoshes made in the past?
In 2015 I tried to make a hackintosh, I remember that at that time it only worked if you bought hardware very similar to Macs, but there have been so many that I don't remember. Before open core, what were things like?
