## OpenCore EFI for AMD Ryzen Hackintosh
[](https://www.apple.com/macos)
[](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg)
## Introduction
I am a Software Engineer and a Penetration Tester and have been using my AMD Ryzen Hackintosh with this configuration for the past year with 0 issues.
## Specification
| **Component** | **Model** |
| ------------- | --------- |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 2700 @ 3.2GHz |
| Motherboard | Mortar Max B450 |
| RAM | 16GB (2 x 8GB) Crucial Ballistix @ 3200MHz |
| Audio Chipset | ALC-892 |
| GPU | RX 460 |
| WiFi & Bluetooth | BCM94331CD |
| OS Disk (NVMe) | Kingston A400 256GB |
**macOS version**: 10.15.5
**OpenCore version**: 0.6.3
## What is working:
- Everything besides what is mentioned below
## What is not working:
- Partially-working virtualization (only VirtualBox & Parallels Dekstop 13.1.0 or below)
- Not working 3.5mm Jack microphone (only USB/Bluetooth microphones) - It can work by using VoodooHDA instead of AppleALC but you sacrifice audio quality.
## Adobe applications fix
Adobe applications crash on AMD Hackintoshes due to missing intel_fast_memset instructions. Follow [guide](https://gist.github.com/naveenkrdy/26760ac5135deed6d0bb8902f6ceb6bd) made by XLNC to get it working!
If Photoshop still crashes when selecting font, you have to delete `/Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2020/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2020.app/Contents/Required/Deep_Font`
## How to use
1. Make your USB installer with [**this guide**](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/)
2. Clone the repository and paste "BOOT" and "OC" directories into your's pendrive "EFI" folder
3. Download [**GenSMBIOS**](https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS) to generate unique SMBIOS information. Run it and select **Generate SMBIOS**, as the model select **iMacPro1,1**.
4. Open config.plist with [**ProperTree**](https://github.com/corpnewt/ProperTree) and go to PlatformInfo > Generic. Set MLB (Board Serial), SystemSerialNumber (Serial) and SystemUUID (SmUUID) to generated values. Change ROM to your network card's MAC address without the `:` character. [**How to get MAC Address?**](https://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-MAC-Address-of-Your-Computer)
5. Boot it!
**IMPORTANT:**
- If you want iMessage and FaceTime to work, fill in YOUR info in PlatformInfo
Section.
- If you have a different MOBO then you need to adapt your USBPorts kext accordingly
