Hackintosh Ventura - In-Depth Guide (Windows Method)

In this Ventura Hackintosh guide we will go slow, and take our time to install macOS 13.3.1. We will go the extra mile with this higher quality video, which is much better than my previous guide. It will also be a lot longer and more detailed. We will dive into things like custom SSDT's using SSDTTime, USB Mapping, and more. Grab your Haswell or later PC, with an AMD Graphics Card (or supported iGPU), two USB thumb drives (16 Gigabytes will do), and clear the calendar from distractions... a bit of effort up front will end in long term results. We will use a 2019 MacPro (MacPro7,1) SMBIOS.

Enjoy!

We will be using OpenCore version 0.9.1

This guide is the most accurate one that i found. Thanks to that and to the dortania guide i hackintoshed a MSI GL75 10th gen I7, 32gb of ram and it worked perfectly almost first time (except for wifi and bluetooth)

Thank you for this video, i already did a build before with AMD. Switched now too Intel, was quite a hassel with Raptor Lake (13th Gen, there is no official guide). But nice too have a video like this and go trough everything along side too checkup.

Got everything working, even P-Cores and E-Cores so it has fully support till 5.4 GHz :)

MacOS: Ventura
Intel i7 13700k
AMD 6600

The set up progress it is so real like you get to choose your language at the beginning just like a normal MacBooks

Great video and info - needed a bit of hand holding as my laptop requires a lot of Kexts and arguments in the config.plist and it's a bit overwhelming - great job!

Gotta tell ya this is by far the most in depth and accurate guide I’ve come across.I have a system similar to yours. I7 4790k but it’s in an hp g1 800 sff paired with an lp rx550 4gb. I patched the Gpu and with the t919 everything works flawlessly. Only issue I’m having is I cant use the hdmi port on the Gpu for dual monitor support. I added framebuffer patches for the connector and went from no signal at to a color flash followed by blank screen to no signal every 10 seconds. I dont quite understand how to patch the busid but I’m guessing that’s what I need to do since I’ve tried everything else. Funny thing is I can use an hdmi cable if I plug it into a dp to hdmi adapter via the dp port. Smbios I use is iMac18, 3. Could that be my issue?

Your guide was truly very useful. I cant thank you enough!!!

And I managed to setup a Intel B660M and i3 12100 based system with it. But I had to struggle & search around the internet to get the installer run properly, but in the end the it was very well worth it and your guide IMMENSELY helped me out understanding the all the details.

I have following request for you:

Please make a video guide on how to maintain and keep the hackintosh stable.

Please make a video guide on dual-booting with existing windows installation.

And lastly if possible please make a guide for 12th and 13th Gen Intel platforms opencore and plist setup. The reason I'm requesting is because NONE of the youtube videos goes this deep and comprehensive like your videos. (I watched close to 80-90 videos and almost all of them were based on pre-baked EFIs and installation ISOs ).

Kind and best Regards!!!

You are a true Technologist my brother 💯 Thank you for making this video. 🙏 Watched it fully last night along side your 26 min version and it really helped me to not only finally understand the process but also how to try it now myself without a configurator. 💪 Please keep em coming!! 🔥 LIKED & SUBBED

Thank you for going over every? most? steps in building the USB installer.
One difference I saw with mine is that.. during the first reboot, instead of text based loader screen, , , I had GUI icons? other than that. all worked.
Also, during the setup screen, I didn't get choose language but straight to country selection. Also, my USB Applekeyboard did not get recognized. odd.

I followed your guide, it was very detailed! I'm having an issue where no drives show up on the MacOS install screen. Even when I click show all devices, I only see the installer. I made sure to set my BIOS settings according to the Dortania guide (i.e. AHCI mode, etc.). Do you know why this could be? My machine has a 10700k and my motherboard is an MSI MPG B460i.

[successhycenth]

Amazing tutorial, I was wondering if it works for laptops as well

[jrdulce]

Did the bios settings that enabled and disabled interfere with the performance once you are in windows? Thanks

[DocVerse]

[jviljaka]

I'm running stable Catalina Hackintosh using clover (Morgonaut's old guide), What are the upgrade steps to Ventura? Any tutorials for that?

[qiepvbc]

I create the USB Installerr from my PC for my laptop. Does it matter?

[mattwg]

Hey I fallowed your tutorial and I keep getting halted on critical error when I go to do first boot any suggestions on how to fix ?

[devrush]

Any specific reason to use SSDT time on linux while you can run it on Windows it self

[xoxoxxxoxo]

Hey brother great video, just one question after successfully installing OS can I boot into my windows 10 back, like this process is a dualboot or will it override my windows?

[jekingohel]

[highcontroltech]
