After years of running an old intallation of MacOS on my machine, I had the time to wrap my head around updating my Hackintosh. (I was forced to stay inside the house for two weeks.. yes, these times.. )
This is my first time using OpenCore – it took me some time to figure it out but the documentation is so much better than the Clover one. Big ups for the people who put that togehter!
After nearly two days of testing I finally managed to get my system to boot and install! These are the specs:
Look at this! Isnt that beautiful! =)
I used OpenCore 0.7.8 for the install and of course the Configurator. I have to admit, it was a lot of "trial and error" along the process of getting it to work.
Things that are not working right now:
1. iCloud Drive. (I am using a USB wireless-adapter)
At first, I could not log into my Apple Account. Fixed this by installing "NullEthernet.kext" and changed the Ethernet to en0... So this works now. But the iCloud Drive sync is not working.
At some point, it started synchronizing, but then it just stops and does not begin again.
2. USB
I did follow the "inkjet all USB" and determining all USB-Ports, but somehow, its not working. I can use the USB3-ports for USB3-devices, but my keyboard and my USB wireless adapter seems to work on USB2 only.
Besides that, I am super happy to get my Hackintosh up and running! I doubt, that I would have done it without having this "forced" extra time in my house.. But I am amazed how the OpenCore project is coming along!
If anyone is interested in my setup, I attached the EFI. And maybe someone can point me into the correct direction to fix these iCloud and USB issues..
Nevertheless, I am super happy to got this working – I am writing from my new Monterey right now! =)
