Checking the discussion shows it's not true.
>but the rest of the site is generally full of questionable and often outright wrong advice
May be you had a bad experience with the site, or may be it really isn't 'noob' friendly anymore, but that doesn't mean you should discredit the actual developers of the tools in favour of the 'How To' guides written about the very same tools.

I'm just attaching the fundamental components of Hackintosh nowadays, but if we dig back in insanelymac the contributions goes back more than a decade when Apple used to sell their OS on discs. The content there are worthy of preservation at The Computer Museum.
- runjake 6y agoWe're going to have to disagree. The InsanelyMac site is riddled with bad advice from questionable sources. Eg. using the beast tools, binary patching kexts for dumb reasons, rando plist changes. I did not have a "bad experience" per se, with the site. It's just full of unschooled people all too eager to offer bad advice.
- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> using the beast tools Any mention of the "beast tools" is quite literally banned on Insanelymac, so I think you're getting the two confused. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275941-very-important-please-read-about-tonymacx86-and-iatkos-m-y-ec-sr/ https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275941-very-importan...
