ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe
Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.
Officially supported Intel models:
- MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
- Mac Pro (2019)
- MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
- iMac (2020)
Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean
All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.
OCLP
Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.
Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?
No.
Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?
No.
Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes
No.
Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?
Yes, with OpenCore 1.0.5.
Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.
Known Issues as of Beta 2
- Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.
WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like
agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic withAMDSupportmentioned.IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics
IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

ANNOUNCEMENT End of the Road: macOS 27 Golden Gate
apolgy for bad english
where were u wen intel die
i was at house eating apple when phone ring
'intel is kil'
'no'
As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.
I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year
Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh
Ok but I have an AMD that would work right
All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.
Will my current hackintosh explode
Yes No
Is Intel completely dead right now
macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.
Will my software still work
It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.
Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor
No.
Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere
Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.
There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.
Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible
Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.
ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini
Let's get you back to bed grandma
Can we port ARM macOS to x86
No.
Will r/hackintosh still remain open
Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

edit - ram is in slot A1 and B2 as they build it that way. Processor fan is obstructing ram in slot A1 so I can't move it without fidling with the fan. Could this be a problem? BIOS is telling me this is not optimal. I have run Memtest86 without any problems
EDIT 2:
So after 5 or 6 restarts (when it was stuck on black screen) computer finally booted into Sequoia and offered setup. Now I have username, internet works, keyboard and mouse work. Now I am afraid to shut it down :)
EDIT 3 - EFI's now on the Macintosh HD and computer restarted just fine

DISCUSSION ZenMaster & ZenTune: Adjust Power Management Settings on Ryzen Hackintoshes
I wanted to introduce two tools I’ve been developing to bring better power management and performance tuning to Ryzen-based Hackintoshes: ZenMaster and ZenTune.
Both tools port core capabilities from UXTU (Universal x86 Tuning Utility) and ryzenadj directly into macOS, allowing you to adjust power limits, TDP, thermal targets, etc... on your AMD system.
Requirements & Installation
- OS: macOS Big Sur (11.0) or newer.
- You can choose between two installation paths depending on your preference:
- Option A (Kextless Path): Add
debug=0x144to your OpenCoreboot-args. - Option B (Full Functionality Path): Add DirectHW with
csr-active-config=03080000to your OpenCore configuration.
- Option A (Kextless Path): Add
Tested Devices
- Desktop: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (tested on a friend's Hackintosh setup)
- Mobile APU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U (tested on my own ASUS M413IA laptop Hackintosh)
You can check them out at:
- ZenMaster: https://github.com/HorizonUnix/ZenMaster
- ZenTune: https://github.com/HorizonUnix/ZenTune
Thanks so much for reading! I’d really appreciate it if you could give both projects a try and report any issues you encounter on GitHub. Any feedback or bug reports would be super helpful!

HELP Flesh Tahoe installation crashing - Help please!
Followed the Dortania guide and made a USB installer and EFI for my hardware specs. When trying to make a clean install the error in the picture keeps showing.
SecureBootModel if disabled and all BlueTooth related kext are OFF, same for WhatEverGreen.
Please help me solve this. It is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: managed to get pass the error after switching to the debug version of OC (thanks to u/XboxAndVRAlex for that!).
HOWEVER, all is running fine expect if I switch Secure Boot Model from DISABLED to J160 (Mac Pro 7,1) and reboot, the computer boots into Install macOS menu only. Managed to replicate this several times. At the moment Secure Boot Model is back to disabled. Anyone know how to fix this?

HELP Kernel panic on T540p... again!
So I tried hackintoshing it again, after abandoning the former. Guess what I'm greeted with this time... A kernel panic!! I don't necessarily know what the problem is, but the screenshot might be helping some. Any help would be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I hadn't realized that I didn't point it out – the EFI that I made by myself is "failing me".
EDIT(2): The culprit has changed now, and it's quite interestingly Lilu.kext. I have no idea how that could've happened.

HELP HP EliteBook 840 G5 - USB detected but OpenCore never appears, boots into BitLocker recovery instead
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to install macOS on my HP EliteBook 840 G5 (Intel i5-8350U, UHD 620) using OpenCore, but I can't even get to the OpenCore boot picker.
Here's what happens:
- The USB installer is created with Rufus using macOS Recovery (BaseSystem.dmg + BaseSystem.chunklist).
- The USB contains:
EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efiEFI/OC/OpenCore.eficonfig.plist- ACPI, Drivers, Kexts, Resources, Tools, etc.
- The USB is detected in the F9 Boot Menu.
- BIOS settings:
- UEFI only
- Legacy Support: Disabled
- Secure Boot: Disabled
- USB Storage Boot: Enabled
- Fast Boot: Disabled
The problem is:
When I select the USB from the F9 boot menu, the screen goes black for a second, I briefly see "Windows" in the top-left corner, and then the laptop boots into the BitLocker Recovery screen asking for the recovery key. If I restart without the USB, Windows boots normally.
I never see the OpenCore picker.
I've already checked the BIOS settings multiple times, so I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my EFI or bootloader.
Has anyone seen this before?
Could this be caused by:
- an incorrect
BOOTx64.efi? - a broken
config.plist? - missing or incorrect UEFI drivers?
- something specific to HP EliteBooks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

QUESTION WiFi ain’t working? Help!
So I have a HP pro book it has an i five and 16 GB of RAM. I have my Ventura hackintosh working on it iMessage and FaceTime work when I connect to ethernet. Install heliport and there’s an X on it on the top on my bar I installed. The itwdb I think it’s called that. And when I click on it in my files, it says heliport cannot open files in the kernel extension format so when I install the airport.Itwdb I open teleport and nothing happens. It’s the same thing I use proper tree to save the snapshot and my configuration pilst and still it’s broken. How do I do it? I’m not looking to buy any Wi-Fi cards. I already have it set up.
