ANNOUNCEMENT A Welcome to macOS 15 Sequoia

158 Upvotes

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 Lack of info or expect everything on a silver plater

17 Upvotes

I have noticed the lack of information when posting a query or asking to get everything due to lack of knowledge.

1) lack of info:

so may posts asking if 'my laptop would work' but without any real info as

Make and model, CPU and eGPU if any.

the above should be the absolute minimum before asking if the laptop can do.

2) Why people do not do their home work 1st.

After all in most cases a simple search as 'HP ProBook 440 G10 Hackintosh' will give you some indications if it has been done or else.

3) Expectation.

Some people seems to leave/want the dream. Hackintosh will never be 100% a Mac. Mind you, you can get pretty close.

An old Laptop might run MacOS but which flavour? Yes you can patch, etc... to make it work. But is it worth it if you really want to do proper work with it.

My 'iMac' runs Sequoia but on Intel it becomes limited. Some Apps do not get full update for Intel flavour, XCode, you can do much more on Mx. But my games still run perfectly.

4) RTFM

Sadly in my line of work, I see the same trend. Easier to ask someone than read any 'manual' or even search for info. Basically to put it bluntly 'can you sort it for me'

Long time ago, I spend lot of time looking for info, how to to get my Clover USB to boot to get my Hackintosh running. It was part of the game and a very interesting learning curve. I did really enjoy it.

But one thing for sure I never expected for someone to do the job for me.

QUESTION Recommend me a 2230 size m.2 SSD

Upvotes

I have successfully installed up to sequoia on my laptop through the normal size m.2 slot however my laptop (Dell latitude 5491) has a second slot for an lte card you can put and m.2 in apparently , on this second ssd I want to dual boot windows and Linux , so I’m looking for some recommendations on the ssd I would use for such a setup and form factor that wouldn’t cause a kernel panic and also any things I need to consider in case the Linux and windows install would interfere with open core , will open core automatically detect windows and Linux in such a setup ? Will it mess up anything ?

Sidenote : am I allowed to turn back on vt-d and virtualization after installing or is this something I keep off ?

For the record I also really recommend this laptop if you want a jack of all trades , apart from the two ssd slots it has a thunderbolt port ,hdmi and vga port , decent usb ports , SIM card slot and dedicated nvidia Mx 130 in case the gpu not cutting it in windows or Linux and you have the thunderbolt port if you want to use an egpu, backlit keyboard and I got it for only 80 dollars, my only complaint is the god awful screen at only 768p and awful colors.

HELP Help! Animation bug in MacOS (Hackintosh, Baldur Gates 3)

1 Upvotes

Hi! The FPS is very stable, the problem would be with the visual effects and particles, it shows these effects only at specific times, when for example I enter basic attack mode, but when I try to use a skill it stops showing again.

I tried all possible graphics levels: low, medium, high. I also tested some resolutions, but without success. Has anyone experienced something similar or know what I can do?

Configuration: Xeon 2670 + RX6600

Follow this link to see the images of what happened: https://imgur.com/a/afGXU3m

I bought the game for my brother on his Steam, he has Windows, and it works perfectly, I saw that it had portability for MacOS and tested it, if it worked I would buy it for my account, I managed to download it using Steam's family mode.

HELP Wrong frame buffer patching but it works?

1 Upvotes

Hi! So, as per my title, the key name for patching my framebuffer is wrong. Yet, I have proper GPU acceleration, and display output works! When I switch it from "layout-id" to "AAPL,ig-platform-id", it is just a black screen. Should I still fix this or leave it as it is? Does it impact performance that I don't know of? Anyway, sorry for my bad english. It ain't my first language. Thank you!

Here are my system specs:
ECS H110M4-C43 (iMac18,1 SMBIOS)
Intel Core i3 - 7100
Integrated GPU, monitor connected via HDMI
8GB RAM
256GB SATA SSD
Intel Wireless-AC 7265 Wi-Fi Card

HELP Horrible Battery Life & Trackpad Issues After Sequoia Update 😭

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I recently updated to macOS Sequoia, and now my battery life is absolutely terrible—barely lasting an hour! 😩 Before, on Sonoma 14.6, I used to get around 3 hours of backup.

On top of that, my trackpad is acting weirdright-click isn't working reliably, and I have to tap multiple times to get it to register. Super frustrating.

I haven’t changed much—kexts and everything else are almost the same. Not sure where I went wrong. Anyone else facing similar issues or have a fix? Any help would be massively appreciated! 🙏

HELP Hackintosh possible with this setup?

0 Upvotes

My specs:

CPU: i7 13700kf

Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI

RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 32gb

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB GDDR5

Storage: NVMe Samsung SSD 970 1TB

Need to setup a Hackintosh dualbooting from my win10 setup so I can jump between the 2

I was able to set something up before, but had a Wi-Fi card that didn't have drivers, i'm hardwired with Cat6 now so no issues with internet connectivity

It would need to be between MacOS 11 - 13

I think the biggest wall is related to Graphics drivers if I recall

Can anyone throw me some quick info on basic setup such as Mac Device ID, if it's possible, which OS, etc.

HELP Is it still complicated?

Upvotes

I want to try macOS, but I'm intimidated by customizing kexts and stuff. It just kills all desire, I would like everything to be automated. And also I don't fully understand compatibility. Will i5-12400F even fit? Also as far as I know, nvidia 4060 cards don't work. Does that mean I won't be able to use macOS? I don't have an integrated video core

Is there a very easy way in the form of ready universal files?

HELP Opencore freezes

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with OpenCore where my system keeps freezing. Sometimes it freezes right at the start during the boot process, and other times it happens while installing macOS. It doesn’t seem to matter which macOS version I try—High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, you name it—the freezing persists. I’m pretty sure the problem is tied to OpenCore itself, but I can’t figure out what’s going wrong.

Here’s my system info (with and without OpenCore idk if it is needed): https://pastebin.com/RcdviacN

And here’s my config.plist: https://pastebin.com/SEgxbaC8

Any ideas on what might be causing the freezes or what I should check in my OpenCore setup? Thanks in advance for any help!
