ryzen-hackintosh VS Opencore-Legacy-Patcher

I don't know about Intel CPUs but if you have Amd CPU look here and scroll down to Post Installation.

I've researched a bit, and I found this repo, and it looks promising: https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh But I am still not sure,so here are my current specs, if anyone has similar specs and has done something similar before, I am looking forward to hearing from them how it went.

Look at Modifying Kernal Patches section here https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh/blob/master/README.MD.

Here I have a ryzen 5 3550h 8gb ram GTX 1650 Hp Pavilion laptop used this efi: https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh and used opencore 0.8.5 Mac OS Big Sur on a Hp 64 GB USB 3.1 pendrive

I used https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh this EFI folder.

Try this and redownload big sur or Monterey https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh

I created the Installer in windows following the dortania guide and this guide https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh

Hello there! I wanted to install macOS High Sierra on my Ryzen-powered PC. I used this OC config: https://github.com/mikigal/ryzen-hackintosh And when I selected “Install macOS High Sierra” it got stuck at there: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415562092138070018/972779352913772574/5C3B333C-0CF7-4E4B-9E08-9F1F7623CFCB.jpg

At a guess I would say probably using OCLP - https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher - lots of life left in old Mac’s using that tool !

I had this issue, too. But luckily, I've got a solution. First, you'll need to check your MacOS Sonoma version. If you're using 14.1 beta, this method will NOT work. In such cases, I recommend installing the official 14.0. Thankfully, this commit (https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/commit/1aee2e5dfa12d10e218a51e4151ac2e96705ae9e) solved the problem! However, the latest OCLP 1.0.1 still doesn't have it. To use it, you can build OCLP from code or use the OCLP Nightly link found here. After you find the nightly link and download OCLP, build it onto your MBP, and after rebooting, install the patches. If you look carefully, you'll see that 'experimental T1 Patches' will be available in the list of post-installation patches.

From what I've assessed reading other posts, Monterey (Ventura has USB & stability issues) with OCLP 0.6.7 is the most stable install for this device (have not yet seen any reports using OCLP 1.0+, although happy to see some new non-Metal fixes going in). This is a bit of a bummer, as Monterey will not likely receive updates past end of 2024 (next year).

I'm not taking a position on OCLP being trustworthy or not, but at least the project appears to be 100% open source [0], which is more than we can say about Apple.

Have you explored https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher?

I have used it before and, in my experience and everyone else I know who has used it, the vast majority of time the newer versions run absolutely fine with no issues. Occasionally some newer features don't work, but I'd but confident that 2015/2017 iMacs would be able to run the latest version no problem.
