Hi guys, Been a while since i build a hackintosh so its all new again and said to be easier?
I would like to bring my old DELL VOSTRO 1700 Laptop back into service with an OSX which once had an old chameleon Snow Leopard running real well on it years ago.
I have already got a couple of real macs so i have built USB's using various versions of UniBeast and basic instructions but no real progress.
Can anyone help me establish what newer macOS WILL run on it?? I have tried:
Sierra = Error this macOS will not run on this hardware (-V)
El Capitan = can get as far as install macOS to SSD HD but freezes about 13%
Yosemite/Mavericks = crashing or freezing at various stages but when it does get further I get a white Screen with mouse?!
I have tried several boot flags but no joy?
I would like El Capitan if its possible?
vostro 1700 Spec:
BIOS: A07
Chipset: Mobile Intel GM965 Express
CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz (i think a T7500)
RAM: 4GB RAM 667Mhz
Video: NVIDIA NB8M-GS 128mb - 1440x900
Audio : Sigmatel 9205
WIFI: DELL
any help with going forward would be fantastic! cheers
