🛠️ macOS Ventura Haswell OpenCore

Banner

My daily driver Hackintosh configuration for Haswell (4th-Gen) of Intel Core running with H81 chipset.

📦 Configuration

Specification Details
Motherboard KYO Kaizen H81-G573U1
Processor Intel Core i5-4570 @ 3.20 Ghz
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (Kepler)2
Audio Realtek ALC662 (alcid=5)
Network Realtek Onboard Ethernet (no Wi-Fi card)
Boot-Args -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=5 amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1 ipc_control_port_options=0
SMBIOS MacPro7,1 (Desktop with dGPU)3

Note

  • amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1 is a workaround to fix Haswell graphics using OCLP4.
  • ipc_control_port_options=0 is a workaround to fix crashing issue of some apps (Skype, WhatsApp, Spotify, etc.)

🔓 Disabling SIP (System Integrity Protection)

If you are using an incompatible graphic card (dropped support, etc.) you should disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) to patch your unsupported graphic card with OCLP (OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher)4. This enables your system to fully use GPU acceleration feature.

  1. Launch a terminal (iTerm2 or stock) and type these command

    $ sudo spctl --master-disable

  2. Restart your PC, and enter recovery (dmg) image of your macOS drive

  3. On the menu bar, choose Utility > Terminal and type these command

    $ csrutil disable
$ csrutil authenticated-root disable

  4. Restart and boot to your system.

🔧 Improvements

  • This version was prepared using OpenCore 1.0.0 for macOS Ventura (13.6.7).

Note

If you want to upgrading to latest macOS version such as Sonoma (14) or earlier, just change the SMBIOS on the config.plist with the supported SMBIOS using GenSMBIOS tool and you are ready to upgrade.

Footnotes

  1. Please note that VGA (D-SUB) onboard port wouldn't work. Only HDMI onboard that will work. ↩

  2. Highest Supported OS for NVIDIA Kepler GPU series are macOS Big Sur (11). Further macOS version needs to be patched with OCLP. ↩

  3. For those using desktop with iGPU (Integrated GPU), they should use iMac18,1 for their SMBIOS. ↩

  4. OCLP (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) is a Python-based project for both running and unlocking features in macOS on supported and unsupported Macs, such as Patching GPU drivers. ↩ ↩2
