- threeseed 10y agoYou can read about some of the problems here: http://reddit.com/r/hackintosh http://reddit.com/r/hackintosh
- kristofferR 10y agoAll the dumb little stuff. For example - I couldn't get my GPU to work so I spent hours troubleshooting it until I discovered a random post on page 45 in thread where someone casually mentioned that his Z170 Gigabyte Motherboard couldn't store NVRAM natively. I have a Z270 Gigabyte MB, so I figured his suggestion would be worth a try. I had to inject a module for my bootloader to add NVRAM support. That should have worked, but I edited my bootloader config.plist file with a text editor so I accidentially corrupted it. Then I had to boot to Windows, find out how to mount my EFI partition, open my bootloader settings file properly and fix the corruption. Another example - This is how you enable proper USB 3.0 support. As you can see it's not that simple. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/ https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-s...
