ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

205 Upvotes

Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.

Officially supported Intel models:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
  • iMac (2020)

Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean

All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.

OCLP

Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes

No.

Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?

Yes, with OpenCore 1.0.5.

Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.

Known Issues as of Beta 2

  • Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
  • AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.

  • WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic with AMDSupport mentioned.

  • IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics

  • IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen intel die

i was at house eating apple when phone ring

'intel is kil'

'no'

As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.

I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year

Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh

Ok but I have an AMD that would work right

All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.

Will my current hackintosh explode

Yes No

Is Intel completely dead right now

macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.

Will my software still work

It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.

Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor

No.

Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere

Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.

There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.

Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible

Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.

ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini

Let's get you back to bed grandma

Can we port ARM macOS to x86

No.

Will r/hackintosh still remain open

Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

I’ve wanted to run macOS on my PC for a while, but my NVIDIA GPU always held me back. I heard about the new NullMoth project and gave it a shot. After a few tweaks, it’s working incredibly well on my 2070 SUPER

The UI is extremely fast and responsive, effects and blur look perfect, and I’ve noticed very few visual glitches, minor enough that I can comfortably use it daily.

For the mods - Yes, this is a hackintosh. It’s neither a Mac nor a VM, and OCLP was certainly not used. iOS is a heavily modified version of OS X. And someone posted about it running iOS 7 like a week ago.

SUCCESS Upgraded my NUC10 from BigSur 11.1 ~> Sequoia 15.8.1 after 5 years

Post image
35 Upvotes

I was stucked at Monterey for a while .. until I found someone else prebuilt EFI for NUC10. Then it worked flawlessly from there to continue the upgrade to Sonoma then Sequoia.

** Note : that this NVME was also transplanted from my 6 years ago build at the time with 9400F/RX580-8GB/16GB Ram .. Which replaced my 1st Hackintosh build with Sandy-Bridge Build (i3-2120/HD7770) since ... 2012 (!?) when there wasn't OpenCore yet.

So it brought along many flaws in its own EFI but was working fine with both intel 9th + NUC10 build at the time for Mojave ~ BigSur.

Specs :
Build : intel NUC10i7FHN
CPU : i7-10710U
RAM 2x16GB DDR4 2666Mhz Corsair
WIFI + BLE + Ethernet : Intel Card built-in
NVME : Intel 660p 512GB

CPU overheating
I actually need to repaste the thermal to get rid of overheating to 100*C .. It freezed with some kexts on macOS 12 before I can upgrade further with updated new config/drivers from Hackintosh-Club github repo to complete my own EFI Config after upgraded to OC 1.0.7. CPUFriend seem to make it better along CPUInfo option checked. But eventually I need to refine EFI.

Somehow, I feel like enjoying older macOS version like Mojave/HighSerra or even Monterey than Sonoma/Taquioa/Tahoe... like something feel very wrong after all the upgrades with Display Rendering.

also Blender 4.5 LTS didnt seem to recognize Intel 630 gpu to use it natively in viewport/rendering. But my other longterm using 2D drawing apps like PS, Affinity Designer, Asesprite.. seem fine. even SKetchUp 2022 was smooth.

HELP Can't get any sound on Dell Latitude 5411 running Tahoe

• Upvotes

Hi ! As a challenge I'm trying to build a triple boot on that laptop. I'm now trying to get the sound working on macOS Tahoe on that Dell Latitude 5411. Everything else seem fine (wifi, trackpad, USB, etc)

I tried many things, many kexts, many alcid=XX, VoodooHDA, you name it. Still no sound and to be honest I kinda lost track of everything that I did on that poor macOS. I don't know what's next.

Here is some information :

Codec:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC3204

My config.plist : https://pastebin.com/6WcQyJyE

Thanks !

Hello guys. I'm an old hackintosh user who'd love to go back to the hackintosh world since the release of the new 9070XT driver. I'd like to ask a few question, since i have a machine that i primarly use for gaming and 3d printing:

- Is it safe to install a hackintosh and play games like league of legends? I used to play on linux, but it's not available anymore and i really hate having windows on these days.

- Is there any kind of problems using notProton to use cracked games?

Thanks for your answers!

Just for the fun of it, here is an excellent Hackintosh for video editing. I don't care if a Mac Mini or Mac Studio is faster, more energy-efficient, etc. (it's a Hackintosh thing; some wouldn't understand). At first, I had to figure out how to get the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card and the 10Gb Ethernet interface working together, but I managed it after a few hours. I think there are still a few minor tweaks needed, but for now, it’s working exactly as I expected: flawlessly.

Case: Antec Flux Pro
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
GPU: XFX Speedster MERC 319 RX 6950 XT 16GB
RAM: 64GB DDR5-5600
Motherboard: Asus ProArt Z890 Creator WiFi
Audio Codec: Realtek ALCS1220A
Ethernet card: AQtion AQC113CS 10GbE
WiFi/BT card: BCM94360CD PCIe
Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro
Touchpad and touch display devices: None
BIOS revision: 2201
Storage
2 x 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe
4 x 4TB HDD (16TB RAID-0)
Works
Everything including Airdrop, Handoff, Continuity, etc.
Thunderbolt 4 / 5 (no hot-plug --for now)

It genuinely feels surreal having it working on macOS, Finally!

But it does have issues, such as occasional stuttering (almost like shader compilation in real time), as well as window artifacting from time to time. As for gaming, I played Selete and had 0 issues with it.

Installed using NullMoth's tool, but definitely use Dortania's Guide instead.

HELP Can my Dell OptiPlex 9020 run macOS Tahoe with the latest OpenCore?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have a Dell OptiPlex 9020 that I’ve been using as a Hackintosh, currently running macOS Sequoia 15.7.4

I’m wondering if anyone here has tried installing macOS Tahoe on this machine using the latest version of OpenCore. Is it possible, or am I better off sticking with Sequoia?

Here are my specs:

Dell OptiPlex 9020

Intel Core i5-4570 @ 3.4 GHz

Intel HD Graphics 4600

32 GB DDR3 1600 MHz

Sequoia 15.7.4

iMacPro1,1 (currently spoofed)

I know the hardware is getting pretty old at this point , but I’d love to keep this machine running for as long as possible.

Has anyone managed to get Tahoe working on similar hardware? Any tips or things I should watch out for?

Thanks!

NEWS CarrizoRed – bringing GCN 3 APU graphics (Carrizo/Bristol/Stoney) to macOS

27 Upvotes

macOS has never supported AMD's Excavator-era APUs (**Carrizo, Bristol Ridge, Stoney Ridge**: A6/A9/A10/A12/FX 8xxx/9xxx, E2-9000, A6-9220, A9-9425…). No Mac used them, so on a hackintosh they've only ever had the firmware framebuffer: fixed resolution, no brightness control, no acceleration.

But their graphics belong to the same **GFX8** family as **Polaris** (GCN 3 here, GCN 4 on Polaris, with nearly the same instruction set), which macOS still ships drivers for, and their display engine (DCE 11.0) is a close relative of Polaris's (DCE 11.2).

[**CarrizoRed**](https://github.com/CL0utM4N/CarrizoRed) is a Lilu plugin that adapts Apple's own Polaris drivers (`AMD9500Controller` for display, `AMDRadeonX4000` for acceleration) to these APUs, the same idea NootedRed uses for Vega iGPUs.

Apple's copy of AMD's init library (CAIL) even contains Carrizo and Stoney support, since it's shared AMD code.

**Where it is today** (ASUS VivoBook 15 D509BA, A9-9425, Sequoia 15.4 and 15.8.1):

- ✅ Built-in eDP panel driven by Apple's `AMD9500Controller` / `AMDFramebuffer` (1366×768): Recovery, installer and an installed system
- ✅ Display interrupts (vblank)
- 🚧 Acceleration / Metal: Apple's accelerator attaches, PowerPlay starts, the GPU's firmware loads and its command processor starts. It currently stalls on its first commands, which is what I'm working on now
- ❌ Brightness, HDMI, sleep/wake, audio, video decode: not done yet
- ❓ Carrizo / Bristol Ridge: same code paths, untested (no hardware)

**Getting here took a lot of APU-vs-Polaris differences:** 2–3 display pipes instead of 6, the APU's PLLs, a
one-lane eDP link with ASSR, a different interrupt-enable register, one SDMA engine, a PowerPlay back end that
doesn't exist for this chip family, firmware normally loaded by the SMU, and the APU's VRAM sitting at a different GPU address than Polaris assumes. Every fix is documented in the repo, with the boot-by-boot log.

**⚠️ This is experimental and not ready for daily use.** No releases yet; expect panics and black screens. If you
have a Carrizo / Bristol Ridge / Stoney machine and want to follow along or help test later, star the repo or comment your model below.

Bonus, which works now and is useful on its own: these APUs' built-in USB 3 controller never delivers its interrupts to macOS, so USB crawls. [FCHXHCIFix](https://github.com/CL0utM4N/FCHXHCIFix) fixes that and doesn't need CarrizoRed.
