Basic Usage

1. Create a macOS Sonoma bootable USB using this tutorial but use the provided EFI folder instead of configuring it on your own
2. Boot from the freshly created USB then install macOS Sonoma on a free partition of your drive
3. During first boot, after installing the OS, mount your EFI partition and place the EFI folder content alongside other OSes bootloader
4. Reboot and change BIOS bootloader order to have OpenCore bootloader as first entry
5. Generate a new SMBIOS using CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS
6. Reboot and enjoy !

How to build this Hackintosh [WIP]

Disclaimer: Installing the GPD firmware will erase the entire local drive! Back up your data first!

The latest GPD P2 Max 2019 Windows10 v1909 firmware recreates the Windows10 partition (128GB NTFS) and UEFI (100MB NTFS). Resize UEFI (100MB to 1GB) for future Windows11 use with IM-Magic Partition Resizer or an alternative. Then move both Windows10 partitions to the end of local Disk0 and create a main partition (384GB FAT32) at the begin of local Disk0 for macOS use .

Copy my Hackintosh EFI folder to the bootable macOS USB installer(s) and reboot. Reformat the main partition (FAT32 to APFS) and install the latest macOS(s) on a separate volume(s) in the main container. Then copy my Hackintosh EFI folder to the EFI partition (200MB FAT32) at the begin of local Disk0 and reboot.

The Windows entry in the OpenCore GUI multiboot menu is hidden by default. Rename 'EFI/Microsoft™' folder into 'EFI/Microsoft' to reveal the entry .

Notes

• Upgrade to Windows11 is ready to download and install, but I will stay on Windows10 (EOL Oct 14, 2025) for now .

• Fixing the iGPU hardware acceleration

• Grabbing the built-in screen's EDID data for AAPL00⁴
