IT BOOTS! (WIP) Booted hackintosh on 780m igpu
Got the 780M displaying on macOS Sequoia. Not daily-drivable yet since graphics acceleration isn't working, so it's still framebuffer-only for now. I'll keep updating this post as I get everything sorted.

So we're now just seeing if this "to modern to natively support macOS" can run macOS. How did you pull this off.

I wrote two kexts from scratch, one (PhxGPU) wakes up the GPU hardware, using AMD's Linux driver as a reference for how it works, and the other (PhxFB) lets macOS use the laptop screen as a real display. The GPU can already run thousands of test jobs without errors, but the desktop is still drawn by the CPU for now. Getting proper acceleration working is the next big step.

Thanks for posting your build! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds. Posts without documentation will be removed until you take the time to document them.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.
