Hi all,
This is my first time building a Hackintosh, and I'm trying to use my existing PC build and a separate hard drive slot to install OSX Lion.
I used to have a Macbook Pro with Lion on it, and I backed everything up to a Time Machine and wiped the Macbook so my brother could use it for college. My hope is to build a Hackintosh and get access to the Time Machine again, then update to Mavericks.
I was reading the Always Up-to-Date Guide for Building a Hackintosh on LifeHacker, and I noticed that in the latest guide, there's no mention of a DSDT file during installation. However, the guide for OSX Lion, mentions a DSDT is required.
I went to the DSDT database to find one for my build, but I didn't see one for the ASUS Maximus VI. I did however notice one for the Maximus IV. Is a DSDT still required for OSX Lion installations or is this no longer a thing?
If it is, is there a way to create a DSDT for my ASUS motherboard using PC software? I notice the MaciASL it links to on the DSDT database page is for OSX only.
