DISCLAIMER

I use this github repository to made some records about my hackintosh. You can use it, but it’s at your own risk.

This guide is available for educational purposes only. I am not responsible for problems caused to your equipment, software or data.

INSTALL STEPS

1. Install

Use the installation process described in Vanilla Guide in Olarila (www.olarila.com), or other from your preference.

The important part is to check Opencore configurations, drivers and kexts that will be injected through it.

2. DSDT Patch

WATCH OUT! DO NOT USE MY ACPI, Patch your DSDT by yourself.

Extract DSDT and apply patches located at ACPI\DSDT\patches.

How to get a copy of your DSDT: https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Manual/dump.html#from-windows

3. Other fixes

See next chapter.
