ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

211 Upvotes

Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.

Officially supported Intel models:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
  • iMac (2020)

Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean

All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.

OCLP

Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes

No.

Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?

Yes, with OpenCore 1.0.5.

Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.

Known Issues as of Beta 2

  • Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
  • AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.

  • WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic with AMDSupport mentioned.

  • IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics

  • IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

ANNOUNCEMENT End of the Road: macOS 27 Golden Gate

333 Upvotes

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen intel die

i was at house eating apple when phone ring

'intel is kil'

'no'

As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.

I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year

Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh

Ok but I have an AMD that would work right

All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.

Will my current hackintosh explode

Yes No

Is Intel completely dead right now

macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.

Will my software still work

It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.

Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor

No.

Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere

Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.

There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.

Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible

Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.

ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini

Let's get you back to bed grandma

Can we port ARM macOS to x86

No.

Will r/hackintosh still remain open

Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

SUCCESS macOS Tahoe on Alder Lake-U Iris Xe laptop using WhateverXe, with some extra patches

Thumbnail
gallery
59 Upvotes

Specs:

Laptop: HP Envy x360 13-bf0059tu
CPU: Intel Core i7-1250U Alder Lake-U
iGPU: Intel Iris Xe (46AA)
RAM: 16GB
SSD: Micron 512GB
Wi-Fi & Bluetooth: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211
Display: 13.3 inch 2880x1800 60hz OLED
macOS: Tahoe 26.7.1
SMBios: MacBookPro16,2
Triple boot with Windows 11 and Ubuntu

Working:

Graphics Acceleration on the internal OLED at native 2880x1800 @ 60 Hz
Built-in display shows as "Built-in Retina Display" with HiDPI (only 1440x900 works normally as of now)
Brightness slider in control center + keys
Wi-Fi & Bluetooth
Built in keyboard, USB mouse, battery (my broken trackpad doesn’t work in any OS lol)
Audio (Bluetooth only)
iCloud services

Not working/Problems:

Builtin speakers & mic (in progress)
Sleep & wake (disabled)
HiDPI larger than default 1440x900 makes the screen flicker/glitch
Camera
Touchscreen
DRM/Apple TV app (probably will never be possible on iGPUs but works on browsers)
Battery drains too fast (~1% every 2 mins)
Laptop gets extremely hot
AirDrop

It took me 2 weeks of trial and error just to get to the installer! Got graphics acceleration thanks to u/Desperate_Dare1509 's WhateverXe. I used Claude to make various patches until it finally worked for my internal display. The resolution is currently set to 1440x900 HiDPI and it makes everything look too big on the small screen and I’m trying to get 1600x1000 to work.

Edit: formatting

SUCCESS macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 | i5-12400F + GTX 1650 SUPER (NullMoth)

Post image
44 Upvotes

Finally got macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 running on my Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5!

Hardware:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F (no iGPU)
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB
  • Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Intel AX201
  • Audio: Realtek ALC623
  • Monitor: MSI G2412, 165Hz

What I used:

  • OpenCore 1.0.9 + 1401
  • NullMoth 2.6.2 for NVIDIA acceleration
  • AirportItlwm 2.4.0-alpha for native Wi-Fi
  • AppleALC 1.9.8 + SimpleHDA 1.0.0 (alcid=13) for audio

Working

  • NVIDIA graphics acceleration and 165Hz
  • Native Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet
  • Analog audio via 3.5mm jack
  • iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime
  • Handoff / Universal Clipboard (iPhone → Mac)
  • Windows 11 dual boot
  • Apple startup chime

Known issues

  • AirDrop and Mac → iPhone clipboard don't work
  • Firefox graphical glitches with hardware acceleration enabled (fine when disabled)
  • One duplicate audio output

Pretty happy with the result, especially considering the GTX 1650 SUPER is a Turing GPU!

SUCCESS macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 with Metal acceleration on a Huawei MateBook D16 2024 (i5-13420H, UHD Graphics A7A8)

17 Upvotes

I DID IT WITHOUT ANY AMD OR NVIDIA!

Processing img z677hk1bj1yh1...

Based on dssoftx/Hackintosh-X1Carbon-G11-IrisXe-Tahoe (NootedGreen stack, ported from JulioNectar's XPS 13 Plus work).

Hardware

Part Model IDs
CPU Intel Core i5-13420H (Raptor Lake-H)
iGPU Intel UHD Graphics, Xe-LP, 48 EU, display 13 8086:A7A8 (spoofed 9A49)
RAM / panel 16 GB LPDDR / 1920x1200 eDP
Audio Synaptics/Conexant SN6140 on Intel cAVS 14F1:1F87, 8086:51CA
Wi-Fi / BT Intel AX201 CNVi 8086:51F1, 8087:0026
Touchpad I2C HID BLTP7840 on I2C0 8086:51E8
Webcam USB UVC 3196:0244

OpenCore, SIP 0x0A13, amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1.

Working: Metal acceleration, hardware cursor, brightness slider and Fn keys, Night Shift, speakers, built-in mic, webcam, keyboard, USB, battery.

Partial: touchpad (polling, occasional "lost arbitration"), headphones (worked once, now silent), Wi-Fi (hidden SSID won't join).

Not working: HDMI.

Fixes beyond upstream

  • Stolen memory reported in 4 MB units (GGC GMS 0xF0-0xFE); Apple decodes GMS x 32 MB. Patched IGMemoryManager::initSegments and FBMemMgr_Init.
  • ngreen-eu=48 ngreen-l3=6 for the 48-EU part.
  • Cursor showed 16-px dashes: Apple writes it through the GGTT aperture (controller+0xc98) and those writes don't reliably reach the pages the display reads. Fixed by backing the cursor range with our own WC buffer and redirecting Apple's pointer to it.
  • Night Shift: GAMMA_MODE_A pre-CSC degamma bit (31) garbles display 13; masked it.
  • PNLF at _SB.PC00.GFX0.PNLF (DSDT has \PNLF as an NVS field), duty rescaled to the panel PWM period.
  • Audio: Tahoe removed AppleHDA, so SimpleHDA. AppleALC's CX8070 profile re-targeted to 0x14F11F87. SN6140 reports headphone pin 0x16 as a vendor-defined widget (wcaps 0x00f00000); an executeVerb hook reports it as a pin.
  • Fn keys: Huawei uses EC queries + WMI; an SSDT turns _Q0A/_Q0B/_Q0D-_Q0F into VoodooPS2 key notifies.
  • Touchpad: BLTP7840 is declared under PC00, not its I2C controller; an SSDT adds it under I2C0.

Open questions

  1. HDMI on a Type-C port in legacy mode (ADL-P/RPL + Apple TGL framebuffer): hwDoGMBusRequest only accepts bus < 8, TC pins are 9-14, so I remap. With an HDMI connector on DDI 4 the Mac freezes at boot when a screen is attached; hot-plug after boot is never seen. Anyone done this?
  2. SN6140 headphones silent although AppleHDA selects the headphone source. Any known vendor init?
  3. VoodooI2C on RPL (VoodooGPIOTigerLakeLP, INTC1055): GPIO interrupt never fires, so polling.

Managed to get the latest tahoe running on my unsupported igpu! almost everything worked just fine.

The kext i used (https://github.com/JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe) was optimized for 26.7.1, which could explain the cursor stutters i had, although i'm not the only one having this issue

Not having acceleation during setup is painful but i'd say it was worth a try! could see this coming a long way

BUILD ADVICE Realtek RTL8723BE WiFi For Bigsur & UP

3 Upvotes

Hello, Everyone! Most of ya'll saw this post by u/Pure-Housing-7128. I tried it, it didn't work on Monterey 12.7.6 because it requires MacOs 14 and up.

This motivated me to backport the whole github repo to bigsur. so i made this github repo. this is not done, since i need to fix every bug that i come across. if anyone could help, that would be phenomenal. thank you!

Its Status: Phase 1 skeleton. The driver attaches to PCI 10EC:B723, enables the device and maps BAR2. It does not provide Wi-Fi yet.

HELP Looking for some input on upgrading Ivy Bridge build

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I've been kinda out of the loop for a while with hackintosh and looking for some input on upgrading my Ivy Bridge build past monterey.

I have a 4930K paired with Vega 56 using Mac Pro 6.1 SMBIOS, and I'm wondering if I'd see any performance degradation upgrading past monterey since it doesn't have AVX 2.0.

Do Adobe apps continue to work without it for example? Will Metal 3 work? If you have any experience with this I'd be happy to hear some advice or your personal experience of any drawbacks.

IT BOOTS! (WIP) Acceleration - Thinkpad E15 Gen 4 - 1235U

Post image
19 Upvotes

Thanks to the legend, u/War_Obvious, I was able to refactor his Tiger Lake XPS13 repo to support the 1235U Iris Xe in my Thinkpad E14 Gen 4 i5.

What works:

GPU - Full Acceleration and Metal

Wifi - Airportitlwm kext supported

Blueooth

Webcam

Keyboard,Trackpad: Full support

What doesn't work:

Audio - Currently trying to make my own driver Works thanks to SimplyHDA kext, alcid=11

Internal Microphone - Recognised as device but no input signal.

GPU Artefacts - When loading preview, images are blocky with patches missing, unable to adjust brightness and apply night shift, no sleep etc. There's instructions for some of this on the repo so it's just a case of getting around to it.

iCloud - Unable to sign in and verify - Low priority for now but likely just a simple SMBIOS fix. Working with iMessage, Handoff, Continuity, AirDrop etc.

Will share my EFI repo once it's up!
