When you download from somewhere else other than the App Store the installer usually comes in.


Step 1.2 Ryzen Compatible Version of macOSįor this guide to work you need a Ryzen compatible version of High Sierra: 10.13.0 / 10.13.1 / 10.13.2 / 10.13.3 Since the Mac App Store only offers version 10.13.6 for download you will need to get a copy of High Sierra from an alternative source and place the.
#EDIUS 7 MAC OS X HOW TO#
How To Install macOS Sierra on a Ryzen PC (Virtual Machine / VMWare) Step 1.1 Create a Ryzen macOS Virtual Machine To create a macOS installer you first need access to a mac or a virtual machine running macOS. To install macOS the first thing you need to do is configure a flash drive with a macOS installer. This is a written guide, however if you prefer to follow a video guide check out this video created by XLNC I also recommend the flash drive be a USB 2.0 drive instead of USB 3.0 as especially if you don’t have have any usb 2.0 ports as the installer may not load.Īlso a mac is needed or for those without a Mac, you need to create a Virtual Machine running macOS To create a Ryzen hackintosh you will need a to create a spare 8GB+ flash drive to put the High Sierra installer on. If you haven’t bought your computer parts yet and plan to use macOS as your main operating system I recommend going with Intel instead only for a more smoother experience, but if you already have a Ryzen PC like I do lets get started… Part 1 – Creating a Ryzen Installer This and slower graphical performance more so when paired with an Nvidia compared to AMD graphics card in my opinion is the downside of using a Ryzen hackintosh. Once you get your Ryzen hackintosh you will need to stick with whatever version of macOS you are using. Small updates like the security fix for the root issue with macOS 10.13.1 do work. High Sierra 10.13.3 and 10.13.5 can be gotten working if you are an experienced Hackintosher and really know what you are doing.įor this guide the steps are based around version 10.13.0 – 10.13.3 of High Sierra, which all work fine on Ryzen. One thing you need to know with Ryzen hackintoshing is that major updates like when going from 10.13.1 to 10.13.2 for example won’t work. Because of that if you High Sierra 10.13.3 will give you the most stable Ryzen hackintosh, while High Sierra 10.13.6 is completely unusable on Ryzen.
#EDIUS 7 MAC OS X UPDATE#
The one thing you need to know is that any update of High Sierra that is 10.13.4 or later will not work well on Ryzen because the open source files that are suppose to be released by Apple every update haven’t been since 10.13.3. Getting sleep to work on Ryzen + Nvidia has caused other people to have restart issues instead of waking normally, but it appears to have been resolved as of High Sierra 10.13.1 build (17B1003) and 10.13.2 (Beta) as I haven’t experienced this issue with my GTX 1050 Ti using the files contained in this guide. Newer AMD graphic cards suffer about a 10-15% performance drop while for Nvidia the performance just isn’t there, suffering around a 50% drop in performance/fps.Īlso sleep works for me whether I have an AMD or Nvidia graphics card plugged in. With a Ryzen CPU there will be some graphical performance degradation. Using the steps and files contained within this guide I was able to get both AMD RX and Nvidia GTX graphic cards functioning. Sound should work after the install is completed I used VoodooHDA.kext was used to get sound working, USB 2/3 ports were gotten working using USBInjectAll.kext/GenericUSBXHCI.kext, while for Ethernet I included all the kext files I could think of that Ryzen motherboards use, so that should work too after the install is complete. I’ve included an EFI folder aswell as the PreInstall & PostInstall folders necessary to do the installation. The install will also take significantly longer to perform compared to an Intel machine.Īll you need is a spare flash drive, hard drive, and a Mac or Windows/Linux machine capable of running a virtual machine to complete this. This guide is based off the Clover method and uses a custom Ryzen kernel that’s applied during the installation for Ryzen compatibility. With a little extra effort Ryzen can be made working in a hackintosh, although it wont be as smooth of an experience as a Intel machine would be since that is afterall what Mac’s are based on.
