ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

213 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

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 T14s Gen 3 i7 1265u | full graphics acceleration in 26.7.2!

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

Wanting to try out Sonoma or Sequoia, even without acceleration, but I can't really confirm if it can. Lotta websites saying different things.

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

Post image
18 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

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.

Will share my EFI repo once it's up!

QUESTION Has anyone tried porting the original Apple tvOS to non-Apple hardware, specifically Android TVs?

30 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to get the actual, original Apple tvOS running on non-Apple hardware, particularly Android TV devices.

I know Hackintosh makes it possible to run macOS on non-Apple PCs, so I was wondering if a similar approach could theoretically work for tvOS.

I've also come across projects like HackiOS and UniXNU, which explore running Apple's OS components or XNU-based systems on non-Apple hardware.

Could a similar approach be possible with tvOS, using hardware compatibility work, kernel modifications, bootloader research, or some form of platform spoofing to make it behave like it's running on an Apple TV?

If it's fundamentally impossible, what exactly is the main blocker? Is it Apple's secure boot chain, hardware-specific drivers, kernel compatibility, or something else?

Has anyone researched this, attempted it, or found any relevant projects or proof-of-concepts? I'd love to know if there's any technical research on this, even if nobody has successfully booted it yet.

SUCCESS Successful Sequoia on R T X 4070

Successfully installed Sequoia 15.8.1 with Metal support on an Intel 12th gen + Nvidia R T X 4070 setup using NullMoth's Nvidia driver & 1401 app.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700F

RAM: 32GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3200Mhz in Dual Channel

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce R T X 4070 12GB

Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS D4

WiFi: TP-Link USB AX adapter, RTL8852AU (Working, experimental rtw89 port)

BT: None at the moment

Ethernet: Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE (Working)

SSD: KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G3 1TB

Bootloader: OpenCore 1.0.8, SMBIOS MacPro7,1

Audio (ALC897), USB (custom map), sleep, FileVault and CPU power management all work. HDMI/DP audio through the GPU doesn't work yet, it's a known issue on the driver side. The Wi-Fi adapter needed a port of the Linux rtw89 driver plus the OCLP wireless patch, and it's only stable at USB 2 speed, but it shows up as native Wi-Fi in the menu bar.

Special thanks to NullMoth

2 Upvotes

Yup, as you read from the title. I managed (After hours) to get El Capitan installed on here in a "kind of stable" state.

Specs:

- CPU & GPU: Intel Core i5-7440HQ, paired with integrated HD 630 graphics. (Spoofed as a HD 530).

- Memory: 12GB of DDR4.

- WiFi Card & BT: Intel Dual-band AC 8265NGW.

Notes:

- Occasionally, it has a tendency to kernel panic after waking from sleep for a long periods of time. I still have yet to find the root cause of this.

Here is my recent distill of Raptor Lake XE Graphics for the lower power i7 family from the Dell XPS13 EFI. Ported from i7 1360p to this i7 1355u. Everything relevant works, GPU Metal accel, all 12 cores get picked up, audio works, touchpad touchpoint keyboard all USB Ports including TB4. Development was heavily assisted by AI though heavily reviewed by me with years of experience in firmware by now, you might also know me as the RX7000 series GPU guy, I can promise I am working on that too.

SUCCESS Anyone here still trying to get Qualcomm Atheros Wi-Fi working on Hackintosh? I’ve been working on this

8 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So I’ve been messing around with an old Qualcomm Atheros Wi-Fi card on my Hackintosh, and I decided to try doing something about the lack of proper macOS support.
I’m working on Ath10kMac, based on the original project by jonasw8.

GitHub: https://github.com/thekunalthakur/Ath10kMac

I’m testing it on a Dell Inspiron 15-3567 with a QCA9377 running macOS Sequoia.

Some progress so far:

Got the kext loading.
Wi-Fi scanning and connecting are working on my test machine.
Internet traffic is working too, on the networks I’ve tested.
Made some changes around board data and WPA2 compatibility.

It’s still very much a work in progress, though. Not claiming this will work on every Atheros card or every Hackintosh setup. There are still limitations, and I need more people testing it on different hardware.

Anyone here using a QCA9377 or QCA6174?
Would be awesome if you could check out the repo and share your experience. Even if it doesn’t work, logs and feedback would help a lot.

Also, if anyone has experience with macOS Wi-Fi drivers, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what could be improved.
Just trying to see how far we can push this. 😅
Cheers!
