system definition

I'm running El Capitan currently and I'm cautious to update because I would have to change my system definition. What would be a safe system definition to pick? I'm currently running Mac Pro 3,1. Here's my setup: GTX 960 & Intel i7 3.4 (unsure of what exact model. I'm an idiot and threw away...

Today i’ve installed lilu.kext + airportfix.kext (or similar name). Reboot. Ok After that i’ve installed an app “mysimbl” to try to port dark mode that after installation asked me to change some System files. Comments on that guides says that changes the csrutil (i don’t knew the SIP status of...

Hello, I've installed macOS Sierra on my Thinkpad T430 and all went well. After installing it and the Bootloader I tried to change my System Definition from iMac13,2 to MacBookPro9,2 because that is the closest Mac equivalent to my System. But after changing it I am unable to boot. The System...

So after the latest version of Clover destroyed my last setup, I now did a clean install to High Sierra. Everything seems to work fine, except my turbo boost is not working. After reading up on some guides It was suggested to change my System Definition to iMac 17,1. When I do this, after the...

I have a hackintosh that is running perfectly. I'm one who adheres to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it..." so I don't really want to change anything. However, it was brought to my attention that during my initial MultiBeast setup, I used the default system definition (iMac14,2) and my build is...

Hey guys, I am wanting to upgrade to Sierra from El Capitan. At the moment I cannot since my definition is MacPro 3.1 (Early 08). I am wanting to change this to 5.1 or 6.1 but I have no idea how to go about it in MultiBeast. This is not a fresh system and my build is about 2 years old, so I...

I'm trying to update from El Captain to Sierra. To do so I must change the system definition from 3,1 to 14,2. Strangely enough even after doing this in MultiBeast my Mac still shows as early 2008. Not sure why.

In trying to upgrade my El Capitan system to High Sierra, I updated the system definition from Mac Pro (early 2008) to Mac Pro (mid 2010) in Multibeast. This caused it to not boot into Mac OSX - it will boot in safe mode. I have tried using MultiBeast in safe mode to switch it back to Mac Pro...

Hello, I recently upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia GTX 680 to a 980Ti. This has prompted me to look into upgrading my mac OS, since I cannot boot into Mavericks with my new video card. From the browsing I have done on the forums, it looks like I need to change my system definitions (I believe to...

Hi Folks, can anyone tell me how it's possible to keep the system definition of an hackintosh when i want to do a completely new installation, for example to upgrade from an older macOS version? The background is that i've bought several apps which can only be installed on a finite number of...

Hi! I am new to the Hackintosh world. I started with El Capitan and I am now doing it again with Sierra. My knowledge is pretty basic and I need some help finding the best system definition for my build, as I have learned that this configuration is not cosmetic. My build: Motherboard...

Hey guys, i got my hackintosh working quite perfectly without any problemes during install of sierra. No Black-Screen, Kernel Panic or anything else. Everthing works perfectly, after installing newest clover and using multibeast 9. The only question i have is: Which is the best System...

Moderators, please move to appropriate forum if not correct to be placed here. I have been searching for a comprehensive list of all the Mac Models as they should be set in config.plist but could not find one so excuse me if this is posted elsewhere but I could not find it. Why this list...

I should actually say I did two things that which have caused this issue. In preparation for the Sierra update (I still haven't installed it yet, I'm on El Capitan), I changed my system definition to iMac 14,2 and also updated Clover. When I updated Clover, I also moved FakeSMC.kext into the...
