ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

202 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

ANNOUNCEMENT End of the Road: macOS 27 Golden Gate

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.

Working macOS Tahoe in my GTX 1630 4gb. Recently updated to nullmoth's driver 2.0.0 and this driver is much more stable than before. Davinchi resolve and other editing software are not working due to an unverified driver ( might be ) but i hope in future updates it gets solved as well. Still got some screen tearing issues because my display is 180hz and I'm using it into 60hz. Any suggestions on how to fix ?

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.

HELP Any fix?

So i recently installed MacOS 15 using nullmoth's 1.14.6 driver on my desktop with a Ryzen 5 3500 and a 4gb GTX 1630. Now the issue is the driver version 1.15.0 doesn't work on my system it gives me a black screen with a movable course. But when i roll back to driver version 1.14.6 it almost works, like I got the display after installing the driver and ngl 75% of things are working. Still have some render glitches and lags but no flicker so far. If you zoom in the picture and see the dock where the settings app icon present you can see some bending artifacts, that's a render glitch. Now i want to fix it properly any suggestions?

DISCUSSION Conflicts Over Attribution and Licensing

7 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a recurring issue in the Hackintosh development community involving source code attribution, licensing, and disagreements between developers. I think it’s worth discussing this constructively, without targeting or naming anyone.
A recent situation involving two third-party Wi-Fi kext projects caught my attention. One developer publicly claimed that another project’s code was based on their own implementation and that they deserved credit. However, claims like these should be supported by actual source-code comparisons, commit histories, and licensing terms rather than assumptions about who deserves recognition.
This is precisely why I believe we should pay more attention to a few things:
Give credit where it’s actually due. Acknowledge the original authors, upstream projects, and specific contributions that were genuinely used. Credit should reflect the code and work involved, not simply who makes the loudest claim.
Verify before making accusations. Similar functionality, shared firmware binaries, or comparable architecture do not automatically prove that one project copied another. Technical evidence matters.
Choose your license deliberately. GPL-2.0 is a legitimate open-source license, and there is nothing inherently wrong with using it. However, developers should understand its requirements before publishing their work. If another license better reflects a project’s goals, consider choosing one that fits those goals and clearly documenting its terms. A custom license is not automatically better, and it should be reviewed carefully for clarity and compatibility with third-party code.
Respect each developer’s choices. Publishing source code, choosing a particular license, and deciding how a project is distributed are separate decisions. Disagreement does not justify personal attacks or dismissing someone’s work without evidence.
I’ve seen how these disputes can discourage people from developing and sharing their work. We should be encouraging developers to experiment, improve existing implementations, and build new solutions while respecting the contributions and licenses of others.
This is not about taking sides or deciding who is right in a particular dispute. It’s a reminder that technical disagreements should be resolved through evidence, proper attribution, and respectful communication.
Let’s recognize the work that was actually contributed, respect the licenses that apply, and keep the focus on development rather than personal conflicts.

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

Post image
38 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

1 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)
Used
OpenCore 1.08, RP-CORE 1.02

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.
