Hello UtterDisbelief
Will you, by any chance, in the near future try to upgrade this build to a more recent Mac OS version ?
I am trying to upgrade my own hackintosh to a more recent build and I was about to source for a Mac mini for the form factor when I saw your post ...
My current...
Hello
It has been some time since I last came to Tonymac's site , happy with my Mojave hackintosh rig. Now I would like to install the latest OS, for the sake of security , and also for the pleasure of using Monterey on my asus maximus VIII Z170 hack.
I am quite lost as previously there wer...
Unfortunately
I tried, for the first time in my hackintosh life, to perfom an update from the APP store ; from Mojave 10.14.6 to Catalina, but I end up getting the Prohibited sign. In verbose mode, the screen gets garbled a couple of seconds before the sign so I cannot even have a readable...
Do you mean that we put we create the /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched in the root directory of the UNIBEAST key and put that file in there? Is this aml file compatible cith all motherboards ? ( I have Z170 Asus).
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hi,
I have been reading through this thread, and if I am not mistaken, you are the only on with this mobo to have updated to Catalina. Could you detail what procedure you followed ? I am currently on Mojave and tried tried to follow the standard Tonymac Unibeast USB key creation for Catalina...
Hello,
I just swapped my old nvidia GTX 960 card for a Sapphire Pulse AMD RX 580 card in order to upgrade to Mojave. The Mojave update was successful, almost everything working now.
I would however like to know whether my rig is benefiting fully from hardware acceleration provided by the RX...
OK then. I have found a couple of quirks moving from my Nvidia to the AMD RX 580 card, though not very impacting, but only slightly annoying . Apart from this purple/pink tinge if I use a DVI-to-HDMI (and thus now I am using only the HDMi ports to circumvent this), I have my primary monitor and...
So, after a couple of hiccups, Mojave has been installed successfully :) . I can now boot and browse, which are my minimal requirements...
First thing that I note is that my WiFi card does not seem to be recognized. It is the TP-Link TL WDN4800 which worked fine and OOB under High Sierra and is...
Thanks. I had to delete the copy in Applications, and even a backup copy on another sSD, and empty the trash before the App Store would give me the possibility to download. Which I am doing as we speak ... :)
According to your suggestion, I will be doing the 10.14.4 direct install , as I would like to do that this weekend. But, hmm, I initially downloaded Mojave way back in September 2018, from the Mac App Store. So currently in my Applications folder there sits file Install macOS Mojave.app ( 6.3...
Hi guys,
So I am ready to take the plunge to replace High Sierra with Mojave on my main rig (ASUS Z170 / I7 6770K / Sapphire Pulse RX 580). Of course I already have a backup of my data ( which is installed on a separate SSD anyway ).
I want to erase my system disk so as to do a fresh install...
Thanks Stork. So for the time being , I’ll be using the Rx 580 hdmi port, I’ll post a separate thread for this purple tinge mystery. A newbie question : For the time being, and before diving into Mojave update, is there any way I can check that my rig is benefiting from the rx 580 hardware...
Just bought a second hand Sapphire Pulse RX580 8 gb today, and followed your indications. It *almost* worked OOB : I get a purple screen when logging in to OSX ( I'm still on High Sierra).
I am using a DVI-to-HDMI cable to connect to my monitor, this scheme has been working like a charm with my...
I am also considering to switch from a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 to a AMD 580 graphics card from Tonymac's suggested cards so as to be able to switch from High Sierra to Mojave. However I am wondering how to proceed : If I switch cards , will High Sierra recognize it OOB ( and then I will upgrade...
Hello pbryanw,
Thanks for this update. Sorry for being a noob, could you please tell me, in a nutshell, the use and advantage of 'Clover enabling NVRAM' ? I am not sure to understand what this implies in the hackintosh context.
Thanks again for your time in sharing information with us !
:)

Note also that you need to perform your installation with Unibeast using a USB 2.0 16 Gb flashdrive plugged in one of your back USB 2.0 ports is ideal ( cos I noticed that you set...
I noticed that your secure boot setting was Enabled, it should be Disabled. First thing I would recommend is to reset your bios settings to vanilla, and then follow closely Tonymac's recommendations for BIOS. I also checked in Storks viii Hero build , there were a couple of settings probably...
