macOS Sequoia - Apple APPs freeze the system
Hello everyone! A couple of days ago, I posted that I successfully installed macOS on an Ayaneo gaming console (Ryzen 4800U). The system is super fast, but I’ve noticed an issue: when I search for an app in the App Store and click on it to view the details, it takes about a minute to load the page.
A similar problem happens with the Weather app—opening it causes the PC to completely freeze. It eventually comes back. What’s weird is that it mostly happens with preinstalled Apple apps, but not all of them.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea where I should look? I haven’t found anyone online with the same issue. Thanks :)

Any Laptop WiFi/BT Chip Set Recommendations for Sonoma/Ventura+ in 2024/2025?
So, I’ve seen a lot of posts about using “x” Broadcom card in peoples hackintosh and Broadcom seems to be the consensus- that said, I haven’t see a lot of recommendations for laptops ones - I’ve been reading through the guide in the sidebar (currently working on an old Dell Latitude 5580 and a Razer Stealth), and am really considering upgrading the WiFi/BT chip to something more macOS compatible(both use intel chips).
What are people using in their laptops? Most “Apple” specific Broadcom cards tend to be odd shapes that I strongly doubt would fit these laptops, and the others tend to be for desktops - the ones that I do get recommended when shopping online tend to be stuff like “Intel AX200/100” and similar, but at least are laptop form factor.
From the guide, I’m discouraged to grab one of those even though they boast great speeds because I do want AirDrop /Handoff etc., but I have seen posts off and on of people getting the chips working (although not always explicitly saying if the Apple Suite works).
That said: can I get some specific recommended products? What are you guys using? What Non-Broadcom options have you had luck with getting the Apple Suite to work?
Any advice is appreciated, Thanks in advance. (As always thank you to opencore as well).

The lock screen is reloading
Hello. I have a Haswell computer based on i7 4770 + RX 480. Everything was fine on Ventura. When I removed the RX 480 and added iGPU to the config, everything worked, but no GPU acceleration. I tried to apply the patches using OCLP, but that required disabling FileVault. So after disabling FileVault, I was stuck with a constantly rebooting lock screen every 2 seconds. With FileVault activated, there were no login problems.
Any ideas on how to get around this to apply the OCLP patches? I don't have an RX 480 anymore now.

Budget Hackintosh Build Help: Motherboard + CPU Combo under $50
Hi everyone,
I'm currently planning on putting together an ultra-low-budget Hackintosh and need your assistance. My goal is to buy a used CPU + motherboard combo within a very tight budget — around $50 maximum. I already have an RX 6800XT graphics card ready, as well as some spare DDR4 memory, so integrated graphics compatibility does not matter at all.
**Main Requirements:**
* **Performance:** CPU performance at least equivalent to Intel Core i5-8350U (a quad-core, 8-thread laptop CPU). I believe this performance level roughly corresponds to desktop processors like an 8th-gen Intel i3 (Coffee Lake) or a Ryzen 5 second-generation CPU (Zen+, e.g., Ryzen 5 2600X) or above.
* **DDR4 Platform Only:** As mentioned, I already have DDR4 memory sticks available and need them compatible.
* **Avoiding Platforms:** I'd like to avoid X79/X99 platforms due to stability and driver compatibility concerns on Hackintosh setups.
Given my very limited $50 budget, I understand that it may be a challenge and I may have to look at older-generation hardware or less-popular combos. Could anyone please suggest realistic second-hand motherboard + CPU combinations within this price range that will fulfill my budget, Hackintosh compatibility, and performance expectations? Or, if my budget is unrealistic, please let me know if I should reconsider.
Thanks so much in advance for everyone's advice and expertise!

Ethernet: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8211/8411
Audio: Realtek ALC671 (alcid=15)
SMBIOS: iMac19,1
macOS: Sequoia 15.4
*************************
What works:
Sleep/wake (works perfectly fine)
Audio
GPU acceleration (GPU patched with OCLP)
Ethernet

**Background**
First off, big shoutout to [SchmockLord](https://github.com/SchmockLord). I saw his Hackintosh build from a while back and based my setup on his Z490 build. Ended up upgrading to a Z590 Vision D after the Z490 died—my PSU blew up, so that was a whole situation lol. Honestly, I gotta admit, I’m not totally sure what I’m doing—I think I just got lucky.
I own an M1 MacBook, which I initially cloned Big Sur to an NVMe SSD for use in my Hackintosh. I used CCC with Legacy Bootable Copy Assistant for this. Only a few "Apple Silicon" apps, like Brave, didn’t transfer fully; the majority of the apps did. I was able to upgrade to Monterey through the App Store just like any regular Mac, but I’ve been hesitant to upgrade since everything has been running smoothly so far.
Since then, I upgraded from my M1 MacBook to an M1 Pro MacBook, which came with Sonoma pre-installed. I didn’t like the idea of having two different PCs with different operating systems and workflows for my daily work. I wanted both machines to run the same software and OS versions. So, I really wanted to get Sonoma installed on my Hackintosh with Airdrop and iMessage working, as they are crucial to my workflow.
**iMessage and AirDrop**
Sonoma drops native Broadcom support, but OCLP can patch it. However, I couldn’t get iMessage working with this patch. Other users have reported that the itlwm kext combined with the Heliport app gets Intel AXxxx WiFi cards working with iServices but not AirDrop. Fortunately, combining both solutions wasn’t an issue, since Heliport patches the Intel Wi-Fi to work as Ethernet. This setup allowed me to sign into iMessage right away. Airdrop is still functional, as is copy-pasting between my machines.
So far, I haven’t encountered any major issues, except for the new "iPhone mirroring" feature, which doesn’t work. However, I don’t really need this for my work, so I’m not concerned about it.
**iMac20,2 vs MacPro7,2**
I ended up choosing iMac20,2 because it’s the closest to my hardware setup. I also added device properties for Intel UHD630 in headless mode for Quick Sync Video (QSV). Without this, my HEVC exports would take 10 times longer.
In my tests, Job 1 used the MacPro7,2 SMBIOS with the Integrated GPU disabled, while Job 2 used the iMac20,2 SMBIOS with the Integrated GPU enabled and PCI support.
**Conclusion**
Overall, I'm extremely happy that I have a fully functional Hackintosh that mirrors my MacBook. While writing this, I decided to try updating to macOS Sequoia—and I was able to do it successfully.
To upgrade from Sonoma to Sequoia, I updated my kexts using OCAuxiliary Tools and disabled Secure Boot in both the BIOS and `config.plist`. I did run into an issue where the system wasn’t shutting down properly, but it turned out that I hadn’t properly activated the Integrated GPU. Once I fixed that, shutdown started working normally, and everything has been running smoothly.
Knowing me, I’ll probably always keep a copy of Ventura around as a backup. But for now, I’m gonna keep testing the Sequoia install and hopefully make it my daily driver. I’ll update this if I run into anything along the way.

macOS was more complicated than I thought it would be.
Processing img q09ni0h6oeue1...
Processing img jda3eoy7oeue1...
Honestly, creating the EFI was the thing I was most afraid of. The OpenCore guide looked pretty complicated, and I was scared I’d mess something up. But since OpenCore Simplify kept throwing errors, I had no choice but to actually try to understand the guide and by the end of the day, this good EFI came out of it. I’m happy it turned out to be easier than I expected.
System:
i3 7100
RX580 4GB
8GB RAM
MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Bios settings:
VT-d - Disabled
SGX - Disabled
CFG Lock - Disabled
VT-x - Enabled
4G Decoding - Enabled
XHCI Hand off - Enabled
(Other bios settings in the guide were as they should be as deafult)
All features are working fine now, some people can't use dual monitors so I tried dual monitors and it worked fine.Personal Note: To be honest, I never really had a strong passion for using macOS. Lately, I just couldn’t find anything to do, so I wanted to spark some excitement for myself and that’s how I ended up doing this. Right now, I’ve shelved this computer because I’m perfectly happy with my beloved Windows, and I didn’t really find the kind of thrill I was looking for in macOS. It felt too complicated for my taste, so I kind of lost interest but that’s okay. The tension I felt during the installation process was entertaining enough on its own. I definitely recommend that feeling to everyone.
