# Current status

Tested to work on Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma.

The 3.5mm audio jack does not work, as the device uses ES8336 audio chipset and likely not supported. However, HDMI and USB audio both works.

I do not have the tools to test USB C port display out

I have not thoroughly test it for problems, so please create issue if you find any problem.

I am an amateur in hackintoshing, so I may not be able to help!

Feel free to submit pull requests to help improve this project!

The EFI may work in BeeLink SEi8, but I cannot support it. Please go to https://github.com/daliansky/Beelink-SEI8-Hackintosh

# Why hackintosh GMK NUCBOX2?

It has very similar spec to Intel NUC 8, which is very hackintosh-able and there are repos for EFI of that device.

However, GMK NUCBOX2 is cheaper than it, making it a good choice for those who want a cheap hackintosh machine.
