Where to download OpenCore Configurator?

I keep trying to download it from the mackie100projects site, but the download fails about halfway through. Any other place I can get it?

Does my setup hold a Ryzentosh?

I'm new to this kind of mode. Already have an MBA M4, but also have a powerful? desktop with the below setup:
Gigabyte GA-AB350M-GAMING 3
Ryzen 7 5700x
80GB RAM
3060 12GB
4TB SSD

Is the process too complicated for a non-tech guy?
Do I need to buy something else for my Ryzentosh work like an actual MAC?

Amd Cpu Upgrade

I'm using Hackintosh as a daily driver for a few weeks now and everything is going great, but sometimes it seems a bit slugish. I noticed the same thing on Windows but I thought that's due to Windows bloat.

For example, when opening fast 7-10 Chrome tabs with heavy-ish sites, they kind of freeze for a second, stuff like that

I'm thinking to upgrade my CPU from Ryzen 7 2700 to Ryzen 7 5700x.

I know it would be better if I'd upgrade to AM5 but I'm not financially ready to do that yet.

My question is for those who use this CPU - Ryzen 7 5700x on their Hackintosh - is it fast enough? I mean for productivitiy tasks browsing, some photo/ video editing from every now and then...

Ventura on ThinkPad W540 (Haswell) - does it make sense to try and upgrade from Monterey

Got Monterey 12.7.6 running on my old Lenovo ThinkPad W540. Everything works pretty well except sleep (still trying to fix it with the OpenCore Post-Install guide) and the fact that my Bluetooth mouse works a noticeably worse when Wi-Fi is on. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the result.

The issue is that a few apps I wanted to install from the App Store require macOS 13+, so I'm thinking about upgrading. According to the OpenCore guide, support for my GPU (Intel HD4600) was dropped in Ventura, and getting the system to run properly on this laptop might be tricky (though, from the guide and other sources, I understand it seems technically possible).

So my question is: has anyone with a similar setup (specs below) managed to get Ventura to run stable? If yes, how did you upgrade? Another OpenCore bootable disk but with Ventura, or via a macOS system upgrade?

I already tried the latter — I changed the SMBIOS Mac model from MacBookPro11,4 to MacBookPro14,1, got the OTA update. Installed it fine, but after boot the laptop would restart almost immediately (sometimes I managed to log in but usually it rebooted sooner than that).

I've got some ideas about where I could start if I wanted to try upgrading again, but rolling back to Monterey last time was a bit of a pain. So before I mess with it again, I wanted to ask if anyone here has real-world experience running Ventura on this laptop.



ThinkPad W540 specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4700MQ

RAM: 32 GB DDR3-1600 (800 MHz)

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4600 + NVIDIA Quadro K2100M

Wi-Fi: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC7260

Ethernet: Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM

iMessage just won't work!

I have a functional hackintosh i5 11400f, 16gb ram (Samsung), rx570 8gb, asrock b650m-c.

everything work, wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, audio (my mic randomly stopped working a sec ago), and I got the monitor to configure the correct colors (used to display this pink tint)

I followed the Dortania guides and even asked for help from chat gpt, everything seems just right but I can't manage to get it to work. I checked my apple account and everything is okay.

I will upload my EFI and config (will remove the rom cuz its my mac address). please tell me what I might be doing wrong

Intel HD 530 with Sequoia and DP sometimes disconnects and reconnects

https://preview.redd.it/u2y3jcrcvisf1.png?width=387&format=png&auto=webp&s=80abe85b95aaa8a3375b580921b6138aa70543d5

Hi guys,

I finally got my Dell 3040 SFF with Sequoia and HW Acceleration working. It runs actually pretty fast and smooth, but sometimes I get disconects/reconnects from my monitor. It just takes a second or two, but its annoying.

Like when i drag Safari or Firefox Tab or Spotify opens. Also its not everytime.

Does someone have the same Problem?

Sequoia boots on Dell Inspiron 3593 (Ice Lake UHD) but no graphics acceleration

Hi guys,

I’ve got a Dell Inspiron 3593 (10th gen Ice Lake, UHD Graphics G1, 12GB RAM). I installed macOS Sequoia and it boots fine, but only with my old Catalina-era setup:

AAPL,ig-platform-id = 01005C8A

device-id = 5C8A0000

Boot-args: -igfxcdc -igfxdvmt -noDC9

That gets me to desktop with everything working expect for wifi/bluetooth, but I’m stuck with 7 MB VRAM and no acceleration.

I’ve tried newer platform-ids like 0200528A and 0200518A (with and without framebuffer-unifiedmem), but those either stall or panic. Lilu + WhateverGreen are updated, NVRAM reset each time.

Has anyone with Ice Lake UHD G1 (especially Inspiron 3593) managed to get full GPU acceleration on Sequoia? If so, which platform-id / properties worked for you?

Thanks 🙏
