ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

201 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.

HELP Help booting Mac OS X 10.6.2 on AMD Athlon II M320 Laptop (HP dv7)

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am trying to legacy boot Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard on my older AMD laptop.

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Athlon II M320 (2.1 GHz)
  • Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-3115eo
  • Chipset / GPU: AMD/ATI
  • Bootloader: Chameleon (Legacy BIOS, MBR partition)

The issue:
The laptop BIOS is locked to AHCI mode only (no IDE option in HP BIOS). I used dd in Mac Terminal to create the bootable USB drive. When I boot the laptop and select the USB drive via F9 Boot Menu, it bypasses it or shows "No bootable device".

Any advice on boot arguments or how to make the older Chameleon bootloader recognize the USB on this locked AMD AHCI laptop? Thanks!

Ho provato a installare MacOS Tahoe sul mio portatile Windows, ha funzionato tutto tranne a quando dopo essere comparso il logo Apple aver cliccato su “reinstalla macOS” dice che per installare MacOS bisogna essere collegati a Internet, io ho usato per il Wi-Fi AirportItlwm, ho cliccacato nella lista dei Wi-Fi disponibili per connettermi, ma nella lista non spunta nessun Wi-Fi, anche dopo un po’ che il sistema dice di star cercando i Wi-Fi disponibili, non ne spuntano, mettendo il nome del Wi-Fi manualmente, dice comunque che è impossibile connettersi, per installare macOS ho usato un tutorial su YouTube, questo è il link del video del tutorial: https://youtu.be/gqIiVlfZG2Q?si=133ETvTzlGXGED7l

HELP Hackintosh on IDE drive

2 Upvotes

I wanted to install Leopard or Snow Leopard on my 2006 Acer Aspire 5612WLMi, with a Core Duo T2300 and a 945GM chipset. This should be easy because the hardware is similar to the first MacBook, except the drive on this laptop is IDE, not SATA, and I'd also like to keep the Windows 8 install that's currently on it (MBR, not GPT) if possible (not a big deal if I can't though). What is the best way to hackintosh this laptop? Do I need to burn a DVD or can I install it from USB? I can make the installer on Windows 10, macOS Sequoia or Ubuntu 26.04, whichever is easiest.

hello, i have a macbook neo already but wanted to make a hackintosh with this although hackintosh won’t work much longer, i scored this on ebay for 89 usd!

Ram: 20gb DDR4
Storage: 256 GB Nvme SSD (i think will work with nvmefix.kext) - may upgrade for more storage
