UPDATE: I tried out OpenCore, and it’s the best decision that I’ve ever made! My setup works the same as before, and I’m happy to report that I got my HDMI output working perfectly by following this guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/gpu-patching/nvidia-patching/ The only...

I’ve never had that much luck with Clover, which is why I tried and ended up liking Chameleon. I haven’t attempted to use OpenCore before, but it looks very promising as there’s a lot of documentation, and the config file seems very cohesive. It seems like a bit of a stretch just to get my...

UPDATE: Turns out that those boot to black screens are actually kernel panics. (I just had RebootOnPanic disabled in Chameleon.) Because the screen goes black when initializing the GPU, I’m unable to view in verbose mode where the actual panic occurs. Unless I could somehow export a log of the...

Thanks for the prompt reply; turns out actually that this was just a false alarm. There's just a ton of lag during the installation process. The installation seems to have worked and I overthought it as a kernel panic. Thanks for making the kexts! If I run into any real issues post-install, I'll...

I've hit a brick wall while trying to hackintosh an older gaming laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78). I'm able to boot into the installer, but halfway through the installation, my laptop goes black and reboots. I can't seem to find anyone else here who's experienced this same issue and I'm not...
