HACKINTOSH GUIDE 👨🏻‍💻 ⌨️ 🍎 🖥️

🔥 in this guide using OpenCore debug boilerplate, check out ⤵️

❗️ After all the preparations, you may want to speed up loading and hide all messages for debugging, for this refer to this guide

❗️ This guide does not explain installing mac os or creating a usb to do this, please refer to the relevant manual: 💎 Creating USB

❗️ After installation, make sure you have completed everything in this guide. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install

❗️ If there are problems with the bootloader for example you have Windows on a separate disk as some BIOSes tend to prevent booting from it if they detect EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi I would advise making a custom entry in your BIOS that points directly to EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi. I'm suspecting your BIOS is blocking access to EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI due to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi being found. To do this you can use https://www.easyuefi.com/index-us.html

It might look like this ⤵️

❗️ Requirements:

BIOS VERSION F11
OpenCore-0.9.5-DEBUG
Ventura 13.6
