Over the past few days we’ve been looking into why the GPU performance was lower on an AMD hackintosh and narrowed it down to one patch. After many tests and reboots we can now say the issue has been solved. Patches have been updated on the AMD OS X GitHub.

I’ve taken the decision to start the forum a fresh at the current subdomain ( https://forum.amd-osx.com ). The main reason for this is to clean it up. There are alot of dead topics and outdated information on the old forum. With this fresh start I hope to keep this version tidier and better moderated. The old version will still be accessible here, https://amd-osx.com/forum/

Unfortunately I don’t have a clean way to import the existing user database without it creating a mess so you will need to re-register. Once you’ve done so please feel free to re-create any topics here like your Success Story for example or a recent support topic.

Anyone who had donated on the previous forum please send me a private message with your forum username and email for the old version and I’ll correct your rank here.

If there are any queries feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks and Welcome to AMD OS X V2

For the first time in AMD hackintosh history, AMD patches for macOS were released the same day as the OS. This is purely down to Algrey utilizing the Mask kernel patching feature offered by OpenCore.

Below you’ll find the updated patches which allow a smooth upgrade to macOS Catalina.

• OpenCore Patches

Depending on the SMBios you choose the system may panic on AppleMCEReporter. To fix this simply inject this kext, https://files.amd-osx.com/AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext.zip

Again if the system fails to boot your system may be reporting an EC device. Simply load this SSDT to fix that, https://files.amd-osx.com/SSDT-EC0.aml
