Building a Hackintosh used to require hours of manual scripting, deep command-line knowledge, and a lot of luck. By leveraging the OpenCore or Clover bootloaders alongside community-driven DSDT patches, Olarila delivers a stable, reliable way to convert standard PC hardware into a high-functioning Mac clone.
| | Reported Success | | :--- | :--- | | Intel 4th Gen (Haswell) – e.g., i7‑4770K, Z97 motherboard | Big Sur Beta 1 to Beta 3 running smoothly, using updated kexts and iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS. | | Intel 8th/9th/10th/12th Gen Desktop – e.g., Comet Lake with iGPU | Full installation with OpenCore, requires -igfxvesa boot flag initially, then proper video patch post‑install. | | AMD Ryzen 3000/4000/5000 series | Requires dedicated AMD kernel patches (provided in Olarila’s AMD EFI folder). Beta 7 and later are supported via community patches. | | Laptops (e.g., Dell Inspiron, Lenovo ThinkPad X250, HP Pavilion Gaming) | Successfully installed, but often need extra DSDT patches for audio, trackpad, and USB mapping. |
The installation process will begin. during this phase.
