I think...

Since Apple uses its own hardware, the Apple silicon, Apple reduces the support of the old hardware such as Broadcom WiFi/BT chipset.

This makes the machine not that flawlessly work as much as the native one does, so as far as I know all the Hackintosh machines using macOS 14 have a minor bug even if it is not that noticeable.

Maybe it is not, there could be someone who uses a perfect Hackintosh with macOS 14, if so you can find him.

So I think The bugs will increase as time goes on, and it is definite unless Apple starts to support Intel CPU again 😓

For this reason, I gave up Hackintosh-ing my main machine and will stop maintaining this Hackintosh EFI repo.

Thank you 😃

EFI structure

WARNING

• I recommend you use this as only a reference resource
  • Obviously, this build may not be the best one
  • This EFI contains additional kexts in config.plist rather than only the essential things for B760M + RaptorLake CPU. You should remove them before using this on your PC

Check this before you use

Generate your platform information

In the config.plist file, I've replaced the private serial codes into the EDIT_HERE words because to keep my personal information safe.

So if you are going to use this, you have to make sure that the EDIT_HERE texts are changed to yours. To generate the serial key, please refer to the Dortania's OpenCore Guide. When you are about to generate one, you should select iMacPro1,1 to properly use your machine.

• If your CPU has less than 8 cores, go to config.plist file and find PlatformInfo->Generic and change the ProcessorType from 3841 to 1537
• If you want to change the CPU name, check this link and edit your config.plist file using CPU-Name

About the Above 4G Decoding option in BIOS

In my setup, I disabled Above 4G Decoding in my BIOS and added npci=0x2000 to the boot args because it doesn't boot with that option enabled.

If you want to use my EFI setup, you have to check whether this option enabled or not, if you want to enable Above 4G Decoding then you should remove that npci=0x2000 arguments from the boot-args.

Radeon RX 5700 XT gets freezing sometimes

In my system, sometimes it suddenly freezes excepts mouse cursor, and the windows on desktop very stutters annoyingly.

I caught the kernel message when the error comes to occur and I tried everything I could do but couldn't fix it.

Fortunately I found that there are some other people that suffering from this issue too.

Yes, this issue does exist in my previous Ryzentosh system too.

After so many searches I found that some people using Radeon dGPU on their Hackintosh spoof his GPU to Radeon Pro one by editing config.plist file. I gave it a shot, and it seems like working for me too, no kernel panic since I applied this spoofing.

Here is very important caution for those who wants this config.plist file with only essential edits. You must check the GPU PCI path using Hackintool or something, and edit the DeviceProperties part of my configs to yours. Otherwise the framebuffer won't init well so you will see only the black screen after boot.

What works and what doesn't work

Works

• Everything excepts ...

Doesn't work

• Apple continuity
  • Currently AX210 WiFi supports on macOS is immature yet
  • Sadly, Fenvi T919 (BCM94360) doesn't work on Sonoma
    • Seems like there is workaround but not stable, check this post
