Hackintosh Catalina Intel
Hello Hackintosh lovers. If you are new to Hackintosh, you may wonder if you could get or download the EFI folder that works on your specific build. Well, there are many people out there that willing to share their EFI folder. On this page, you will find many EFI folder for different motherboards. Personally, I would recommend you try to build your own EFI for your specific hardware. But, you can also use the EFI below as your starting point. And then you can fine-tune it to match your needs.
Before we go through it, please spend some time to read and learn the official OpenCore guide below. It is essential for you to understand how Hackintosh and OpenCore works. For some motherboard/build, you may find multiple EFI download links. Don’t worry, you can try them and see which one works the best for you.
I have Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1323) working in KVM/QEMU. Most things are working fine, including iServices like iMessage. The only thing that isn't working great is the Display, it's defaulting to the non accelerated display output. This is an image of System Information. I am running this in an Arch Based Linux host and I am limited to the GPU.
