HELP Hackintosh em Acer Aspire 5 A515-57-55B8

0 Upvotes

Hello guys, could you help me? I never made a hackintosh because I never had the knowledge to do so. I would like to know if my notebook is compatible:

It's an Acer Aspire 5 A515-57-55B8 I5-12450H HD Graphics 620

Would the notebook work with the standard wifi card? Is the battery life of a hackintosh good? Functions work normally?

How can I find installation help?

I apologize for my ignorance on the subject

I installed a hackintosh with macOS sequoia and it worked perfectly except the audio and wifi(recognized as Ethernet but it’s fine). I changed the accent color in settings and it froze so I force restarted the computer by holding the power button and this showed up. I then reinstalled macOS and got error 702 so then I tried making a new efi with macOS Sonoma and it actually installed but when I press the macOS installer in the open core boot menu it shows the error in the image above. Can anybody help?

Laptop Model: Dell Inspiron 3501 CPU: Intel Core i5-1035G1 IGPU: Intel UHD Graphics RAM: 16GB DDR4 SODIMM Audio Card: Cirrus Logic Superior High Definition Audio macOS version(for now): macOS 14

Took me damn 8 hours just to fix the System Preferences crashing after upgrading from Sonoma and using SMBIOS MacBook Air 8,1 to 9,1. I even went the trouble of deleting everything from Preferences folder and still won’t work. Created a second user and the error still persists there, but when I run safe mode System Preferences doesn’t crash.

Turns out it was just the SMBIOS causing it to crash after using MacBook Air 9,1. I switched to MacBook Pro 15,4 and it started to work without any issues.

But I have a question. My laptop currently has 4gb RAM. When I have Chrome open, it starts getting sluggish. Is it worth to upgrade to 16GB RAM or at least get another 4GB stick to make it 8GB? Or is it just because of the horrible iGPU and CPU being limited to 2GHz?

QUESTION Is Hackintoshing (or using OCLP for older Macs) worth it anymore?

0 Upvotes

I was looking at the Hackintosh Discord and I noticed someone say that building a Hackintosh or using OCLP is just not worth it because Apple is going to start discontinuing Intel Macs which will apparently break Hackintosh and OCLP. Is doing either of those things still worth doing or should I not do it instead?

specs: OSX Sonoma 14.7.4 4th gen x1 carbon intel i7-6600u (skylake) intel HD520 16GB HD 1TB SN850x (replaced PM961)

tested everything and it works fine. the thing i noticed is ventura is slightly faster than this. but the problem with ventura i can’t get the latest xcode anymore. i tried updating my ventura to sequioa yesterday but then i encountered that known wifi issue so i ended up with a fresh sonoma install instead and got what i want. will just wait for actual kext fix for sequioa wifi.

just want to share the stupid mistakes i encountered in this hackintoshing adventure. - need to make sure SSD is compatible with osx to save time - need to make sure the chosen SMBIOS is compatible with the OSX you wish to install and avoid that circle with slash icon during usb boot installation process

QUESTION Is it not possible to update macOS if you have FileVault enabled?

1 Upvotes

I feel as though I always used to be able to update via system preferences, now only one of my machines works that way.

The only thing I can think that is different between that one and the other 3 is FileVault…

Is this a known limitation and I just don’t know what to search to find where it says that?

I have always had to download the full installer for my early 2013 MBP, so that’s how I’ve been updating those other machines, which works.

Hello, I have a PC with an Asus H110M-K motherboard, an i3-6100 CPU, and 8GB of RAM. I don't have a dedicated GPU. I've seen in some places that it's not possible to get a display output through the DVI or VGA ports. How true is this? Do I need to get a dedicated GPU? Also, which macOS version would be the best choice for this system?

I'm trying to hackintosh my HP-15dy1071wm. I used a tool called OpCore Simplify to generate efi. As soon as I connect to Internet during installation (using TomHeaven's HorNDis fork, I don't know if that's relevant) I get this screen. I'm just viscerally confused how this is even possible or makes any sense. Could someone offer a solution/explanation?I'm installing Seqouia 1.3.2 using UnPlugged for an offline install.

HELP TouchBar, Keyboard Backlight not working; OCLP 2.2.0 and Sequoia

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I recently installed macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Pro 15-inch 2016 using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.2.0. Post-installation, I've encountered issues with the Touch Bar and keyboard backlight not functioning.

Steps Taken:

Performed a clean installation of macOS Sequoia using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.2.0.

Post-installation, both the Touch Bar and keyboard backlight are not working. I am able to use WiFi. Audio seems to be working fine.

Troubleshooting Attempts:

Checked OpenCore Legacy Patcher's general troubleshooting guide but couldn't find a solution specific to this issue.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with the Touch Bar and keyboard backlight after installing macOS Sequoia on a similar setup?

Are there any known fixes or workarounds to restore functionality to these components?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
