All language subtitles for 1OpenCore Hackintosh Creating the Installer USB... Detailed Part One

Hey guys, welcome back to Studio 3B.
Previously, I did a Hackintosh video,

and it was from a Windows perspective.
How to basically get the installer

from a Windows computer and build a
Hackintosh PC from that installer.

The thing is I got some feedback that
the camera-work was shaky, and also

that I may have sped up a little too
fast during some scenes, where I’m doing

configuration and things like that
and I may have overlooked and even

omitted some of the configuration steps.
So - I wanted to take a little longer on

this video, just a little more play-by-play,
step-by-step. And I hope this does some justice.

I know there’s a lot of Reddit groups
out there and Facebook groups. They

usually frown upon video tutorials for
Hackintosh. They like to use just the

online textual guides and that’s
pretty much a good rule of thumb.

The Dortania guide is the source for
using an OpenCore installer for MacOS,

and it keeps up to date, and the website
will constantly have new revisions,

new versions come out and really,
videos become dated quite quickly.

So, hence that is one reason for me
going so fast in the previous video. I

didn’t want to do too many details, I
wanted to kind of teach you to do more

thinking on your own. But, some people
do like a little more detail. So let me

try to take my time with this video,
and just get a little more into it. And

hopefully with my OBS Studio, I can do
a little cleaner screen capture for you.

So, let’s dive right into that.
I’m going to walk you through

pretty much everything I would do. I’m going
to use a USB thumb drive. This is 32 gigabytes.

And, I think this has MP3’s
on it, or music on it right

now. So I’m going to wipe that out.
Then I have… this isn’t even an SSD,

this is a hybrid-disk. So, hopefully this
disk is still good, I haven’t used it in years.

And it’s going to be slow, but it will
allow me to install.

Ok, so, first thing’s first.
But first guys, be sure to like this video,

and don’t forget to subscribe.
Thanks.

Go over to my computer here, and I’m
going to pull up a browser, and… yep.

Microsoft Edge.
So you just type in Dortania - ok - Hackintosh.

And too bad I have Bing. I
prefer Google. Because it doesn’t

bring you to the right link. So if you have
Bing you don’t even get the right link

when you Google it. It’s pretty horrible.
The first think I’m going to do.. oh address

search bar. And search engine.
Ah, there we go. Google.

And let’s go back. Go to home.
Let’s just go to Google.com.

Dortania
Hackintosh, let’s just do Opencore… yeah.

Alright so this is the URL you want
to go to. This is the OpenCore install

guide. We are currently on 0.7.2.

Ok, Getting Started…
Now, I went over this in my last

video. You kind of have to really read this and
make sure you know what you’re talking about.

So, time and patience, you really need
that. This is going to be a longer

video, and this is also
going to be a longer process.

Just to let you know, to give you some
background, I’ve been hackintoshing

since about… Mountain Lion.
So, anyway, that’s a long time ago.

Know your hardware. You need your
CPU name and generation, your GPU,

storage devices, laptop. Desktop model
(if an OEM). Ethernet chipset, and

WLAN bluetooth chipset.
Ok, so I have this on my other computer.

I’m going to turn on my printer. I’m
going to print these out,

and I’m going to show you what I’m working with.
OK I just wanted to print out my specs on this

computer that I’m working with
that I’m going to install on.

So, basically the computer that I’m
working on now is a windows PC, and I

am not going to use that one to install
the Hackintosh on. It’s this other

computer. Its an ASUS Z87 Pro
motherboard, has onboard Wifi and

bluetooth, but that is incompatible
with MacOS - the Atheros. So I’m going

to use a Fenvi FV-T919 PCI-e card.
I’m going to have a kext for that -

actually that’s natively compatible,
so I don’t even need anything for that.

I’m going to not use an ssd. I’m going
to use like I said, the hybrid disk. The

case is a Cooler-master. But the GPU
is an NVIDIA card. Its an NVIDIA GTX

650 Ti.
There, I have all that stuff ironed

out. You need to know basic knowledge of
command lines and how to use a

terminal command prompt. So, you know
as I’m typing things if you are not sure

what I mean, you are going to have to
do a little research.

A machine that is compatible.
The machine I’m running on is

already running MacOS, I’ve determined its
compatible. Worked through the kinks,

to figure that out in the past. So I
know that what I have is compatible.

You need a USB drive of at least 16
gigs. The USB drive I have is 32 gigs.

Alright, and an ethernet connection. So
you don’t want to start out with WIFI,

or even an ethernet USB - may
work depending on MacOS support.

Ok, I’m not using ethernet USB support,
or WIFI dongles. During the install I

have ethernet plugged right into the
computer, so that’s what I’m going to

use for my onboard LAN,
and proper OS installation.

So, you need a MacOS, so that I could
be doing that from my existing macOS

installation. But I decided I would
do it from Windows so I could rerun

through the steps.
I would say the majority

of people that own a computer - own a Windows
machine - at least one of them, so this could

be useful to you. But you could
do it also from Linux as well.

You ned 15 gigabytes of free space.
That shouldn’t be a problem for most

people. MacOS users: 30 gigabytes of
free space. And most users will also

require Python to be installed. So
we are going to go through the Python

install also.
Hardware limitations:

go through this if you are still in the process of
purchasing your hardware, you are going

to need to isolate which hardware
you are going to use, and: is it supported?

So once you are sure you have supported
hardware, you’re pretty much good

to go.
GPU support is very important.

I’m using an NVIDIA GPU and I think its a
Kepler, because its 650 TI.

And they are supported.
So I’m one of the few supported

NVIDIA GPUS’s. I heard they’re kind of
phasing it out. And you have to go with

AMD I think - or Intel.
Let me see, read here.

“GPUS are becoming more complicated due to the
near infinite amount of GPUS.”

Just read through this, make sure that
your GPUS is supported. You can use

onboard GPU, or external GPU.
I’m using an external GPU.

So 90% of discrete GPUs which is a
separate GPU card, will not work,

because they are wired in a configuration
that MacOS does not support.

A lot of the headaches with Hackintosh
do come from GPU support and

configuration so , make sure you spend
the time reading through this part of

the guide. Make sure you get something
reliable. This NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti

has been supported natively since - ever
since I’ve got it. I’ve never had any

problems with it, don’t need any drivers
- so that’s great. I think there are

more modern GPUS that are just as
supported, but that’s going to take a little

research on your part. And I can’t
really tell you for sure which

ones those
are.

Storage support - most drives are
supported. I have not had any problem

with any of my drives ever working.
Wired networking: Intel works,

and that’s what I always have been using is
Intel network adapters.

Wireless networking… like I said I’m
using the Fenvi card, that is natively

supported by Hackintosh -
or by MacOS I should say.

I’m not going to get into any of the other
fancy stuff like fingerprint sensors,

Windows Hello face recognition, Intel
smart sound technology, headphone

jack combo or Thunderbolt. I have no
experience with Thunderbolt or any of

these other features, so I can’t speak to those.
So finding your hardware,

I’m not going to go find my hardware. I wrote it
down already. I’m on a separate computer.

So, doing that from here is not
going to be helpful.

But, they do walk through here
how to use Windows Device Manager

to find
some of these hardware features and

you can also use Linux commands - to
find these so if you are in Linux

you can do it that way too.
And MacOS is obviously you just go to

the apple, and go to “About This
Mac…” and go to “System Profile”.

Terminology…

You should know what these terms are,
if you are not familiar with them read

through them. They’re kind of basic
when it comes to Hackintoshing but

sometimes they’re just new terms if
its the first time you’ve ever done it.

Things like EFI, ACPI you know,
all these terms are very much used

everywhere in forums and all that
and if you’re not sure what they mean

there’s a little guide right
here to look up that value.

Why OpenCore over Clover? Theres a
lot of reasons they give - such as

stability, its more true to the native,
how MacOS works. And there’s just a lot

of good reasons it’s just simpler
and more stable as far as I’m able to

understand.

Kext injection - yeah this is just a
bunch of reasons why you should be using

OpenCore, so let’s skip past that.
Making the installer. So downloading MaOS,

this is the USB creation part -
so this would be

not a Windows command. So let’s not so this one.
Ah, here we go. “Making the Installer in Windows”.

This is the section you
want if you’re from Windows.

So, we have all this stuff. We have the
4GB USB stick (32 gigs actually). And,

“for USB larger than 16 gigs, you format
it to FAT32 using the Rufus method.”

So, first I need to format my
disk, using the Rufus method.

So I’m going to take my thumb
drive, put it in the computer.

So let’s go to “Rufus method”, download
Rufus. There we go, and I’m going

to click the Windows - don’t want
that. Open file Theres Rufus.

Alright so you follow these steps. Set
the boot selection to not bootable.

File system FAT32. Let’s look at
these other things. GPT, BIOS or UEFI.

We’re going to call this “USB” and
we’re going to go. Oh “Large” is not an

option, but this is “32”. So just
“Fat32” is an option not “LargeFat32”.

OK click “Start”. Its going to erase
everything on your USB drive - so that’s

got to be OK with you.
OK, we can close that. Next,

go to the USB drive and create a folder called
“com.apple.recovery.boot”.

So, let’s go to, yeah USB. Ok. It wants
you to delete these auto run files.

And we’re going to create a new folder,
and paste in that String value “com.

apple.recovery.boot”. OK. Then
move the downloaded base-system

recovery images files. So we have to
download these base system. I must

have missed that step. So let’s go
back up and read that step again.

OK, I skipped right over “Downloading
macOS” so I went to the “Rufus

Method” OK , so now you need
“macrecovery.py” which is the Python file.

And I’m going to download. Alright so
you need Python installed. So let’s go

there. Download Python.
Run that.

Customize install… looks good.
Alright so I went to “customize

install” because I remembered this step. You
really need Python added to the environment

variables. That’s because
we’re going to run command

lines from the command prompt and if you
don’t have it in an environment variable you

are not going to be able to find
the Python executable.

So, add that to your environment
variable and click “Install”.

Alright so the setup was successful. Click
let’s click close., and let’s go to the

next step.
Downloading MacOS. So’ we’re going to grab legacy

installers from
OpenCore package. So

let’s download that from here. I’m going to do
everything in DEBUG. That is a larger file,

it’s a slower file, but it has more
information if you’re having trouble.

We’re going to replace everything with
the RELEASE once we get everything

working, but start with DEBUG. It has
more information in case you want to

troubleshoot.
Extract all… extract it.

Ok, so we have the DEBUG and its
telling us to go to “Utilities”…

“MacRecovery” and from here you
want to open a command prompt..

Yeah so, ok.
So, we’re in here. I’m going to copy

this file path, and I’m going to go to
command prompt. Type in “cmd”.

And you’re going to CD to that. And what
you do to paste is just right

mouse click in the command prompt.
And then it wants to run a command, so.

Now you’re going to run one of
these commands depending on what

version of macOS you want.
So I’m going to go down to

Big Sur, and I’m going to copy this command that
lets me select it. (It’s hard to select this or

it’s just not show that. Let’s see if
I copied that.)

Oh, there it goes. I just right-mouse-clicked
to paste that command. This is

for Big Sur.
Alright, “Download is Complete.”

“Theres some issues with certain systems
to resolve for information, for first

time users”. They recommend Catalina.

That’s because some things are
broken, some things aren’t.

Some things are broken - by that I
mean some software programs have not

yet been upgraded to be compatible
with later than Catalina or Mojave or

anything like that. But by
now we are in August of 2021,

and Big Sur is pretty
well stable by now.

So I’m going to go with that.
So the next step would be

to go down here, and get the BaseSystem.
So right in the directory where macrecovery

is, there is BaseSystem.dmg and
chunklist. It’s telling me to put that

in “com.apple.recovery.boot” directory.
I’m going to copy “chunklist” shift+click

.dmg and I’m going to copy that.
And I’m going to go over to… lets

do another explorer file.. there we go.
And we’re going to paste it in here.

And that’s going to take a
second because its a USB drive.

OK, so we’ve copied in the BaseSystem.dmg
and chunklist file. Now, let’s go

to the next step.
You can grab the

OpenCore package that you downloaded earlier. And
you’re going to want to grab - for 64 bit you’re

going to grab the x64 folder
and copy it into….

You’re going to copy the EFI folder let’s do that.
Let’s go to over here.. Go up here…

go to 64 and copy this EFI folder. And go
over to… this: USB drive and paste it in.

Give that a minute.
When that’s done…

Setting up EFI, so you need to add the
base files of OpenCore, we did that.

So it says, let’s open up the
OpenCore folder and see what’s inside.

So if we go to… here. This is the USB
drive with the EFI folder. Let’s go

inside that. And you go in here. And.
You get the drivers. I got the boot

folder. Ok.
So it’s basically telling us

that we need to keep only what’s necessary for the
EFI, and get rid of all the rest.

What it has highlighted here. You want
this EFI, OpenRuntime.efi, OpenShell

and OpenCore.
So, 1.2.3.4. Everything else you

really don’t need. Let me verify that. Yeah.
Everything else you really don’t need.

So, let’s go and its telling us let’s see.
Well this is just telling you what each

thing is. Yeah, you need to clean this
up and get it down to look like that. So

let’s go do that. So I don’t know what
.contentFlavor is. Let’s not worry

about that. Drivers you only want “OpenRuntime”.
So let’s get rid of everything else.

So if you select everything, control + click
OpenRuntime and just click say delete.

Ok, and then go to tools, select
everything, control + click

OpenShell.efi, and
click “Delete” and then going back up one,

yep, got that. I don’t know
what .contentFlavor is that’s interesting.

So we have “boot” we’ve got “drivers” and “tools”.
Now, here’s what a populated EFI can look like. So

we’re going to have to
populate this with all of our files.

This is what’s going to vary depending on
what your hardware is. Let’s go through

the gathering the files phase of
building your installer.

Alright so we’re going to gather files.
So let’s see what we’ve got here..

Firmware Drivers. You do need HFSPlus.efi.
So let’s open that up in a new

tab, download that. And lets say “show
in folder…” Copy that file and we’re

going to paste that in the USB EFI.
Oh wait hold on a second.

OK I made a mistake earlier,
the EFI folder goes parallel to

com.apple.recovery.boot. So let’s go
back to here, drag this EFI folder up to

the USB drive. There we go.
That’s what you’re looking for right there.

And on my clipboard I still have
the HFSPlus driver so let’s go to the drivers,

let’s paste that there.
Ok.

Let’s go back to where we were. I’m
not going to get any of these other

ones.
Kext. So Kext, you do need VirtualSMC and Lilu.

Ok VirtualSMC I’m going to get the
DEBUG version of everything. So, get

that get the kext. Alright, you need
VirtualSMC. So you are going to control

click.
So, yeah, VirtualSMC. You need

SMCProcessor, SuperIO, and the actual
driver so let’s just go back over here.

VirtualSMC.kext, SuperIO and
Processor.

Let’s copy those and lets put it into

“Kexts”. Very simply. There we go.
And these Kexts show up as folders

and are folders, however on macOS they
look like files… a little difference there

although they still are folders.
Whatevergreen, I’m going to download

that because I need that. I’ll get the
DEBUG version just to be safe. Copy the Kext.

Go back to… make sure you
are working in the right folders, guys.

Paste here.
AppleALC: I’m not going to work on

the audio. I use external audio devices
for my sound. So I’m not

going to work on the audio.
Ethernet, ok so my ethernet is.

You’re going to have to look up what your
ethernet card is. But IntelMausi

is good for Intel. I just know IntelMausi is the
ethernet driver that I’m going to use.

Alright, next get the IntelMausi DEBUG.
Open that up. Copy the IntelMausi

Kext. Go to the actual EFI on your USB
And paste it in. OK. So I don’t need

any of that other stuff. You may need
this one: Realtek, if you have a Realtek

one.
Now USBInjectAll is a Kext that allows all the USB

ports to be used on your
computer. It’s not a permanent solution.

It’s a way to get all the ports to
work so you can identify which ports

you are using. Which ports you have,
we’ll go from there.

So, get the USBInjectAlll. Get the
latest one which is actually from 2018.

So, File. Get the DEBUG. Copy that.
Paste that into here. Alright next one.

XHCIUnsupported. Needed for non-native
USB controllers, I don’t have that.

X79 is that what I have? I have
a Z87 so no its not not there.

WIFI and Blutooth, don’t need any
of that, don’t need any of that.

AMD CPU nope I’m not AMD and I’m not a laptop.
SSDT so you see all the SSDT ACPI examples.

Alright.
So my architecture for this PC

is Haswell. Ok, so I am going to need Power
Management and I am going to need SSDT-EC.

Which is “Embedded
Controller”.

Now, I think I just need the EC one
to boot and the power management I can

do afterwards.
See it says “Run it in Post-Install”.

No need to worry about it while you’re
building the installer.

I don’t need AWAC, NVRAM, or USB. So,
I am going to click this link and I am

going to use the pre-built one for getting
booted up. I’ll get a better one after

I install the operating system. But for
now you just need to copy SSDT-ECDESKTOP.

And I’m going to download that file and
I’m going to open that up in notepad

here, it should be a binary file. Yep.
So that is AML that is the compiled

language file. So let’s copy that and put
that into our USB EFI OC ACPI folder.

Ok and keep going down. None of this
applies. Now the PLUG is the power management,

and that’s not required
right now.

So, let’s go back to the guide, and
basically the next thing you have to do is

get your config.plist setup. So to do that…
Ok guys just for luck I’m going to download

the PLUG Dortania AML because
I think that that is required.

So, I’m going to place this file in ACPI as well.
Ok the next step here is that you going to

need to build the config.plist.
This is where a lot of the

configuration part comes from and a lot of the
research and reading is going to help with

determining which settings to use
in this file.

First thing you’re going to need to edit your

config.plist is ProperTree. So let’s
go to that. Let’s download that.

And let’s extract that. And let’s open that.
Alright, there’s ProperTree.

Now, you’re going to need
to start your config file.

Well, actually you will need GenSMIOS.
This is a utility to get your SMBIOS

determined and generated, so let’s
download that.. go do downloads,

extract that, so we have that on hand… ok.
Now, we can go to Sample config.plist.

Thats in the OpenCore directory, so
let’s go there. Let’s go up here and its

under docs/sample.plist. Copy that.
Go to your USB folder and place that

right in the root of your OC directory.
So this needs to be renamed to

config.plist. And then you
can open this in ProperTree.

So go File->Open and go to your USB
drive and open your config.plist.

Now, basically you want two screens.
One with the directions and one with

your config.plist in it.
So the first think you’re going

to want to do is. File->OC Clean Snapshot.
And you’re going to want to select your

OC directory in your USB drive.
What’s that going to do is populate

with all the files that you already have.
And I know the next thing that you’re

going to want to do is delete these
warnings. Cuz that’s for the sample

file. Alright so let’s read this.
Now it has ACPI it tells you to

add the things that you need to add, but
basically when you go File->OC

Clean Snapshot or OC Snapshot, it will do
that for you. So that I have my ACPI files here.

So that’s just talking about ACPI and
everything there should be set to go.

So let’s see: Booter. OK Booter.
Let’s make sure everything looks like it does

here, so MmioWhitelist. Oh - by
the way, I am under “Haswell”

configuration. You should be under the
architecture configuration of your PC.

MmioWhitelist, so MmioWhitelist is
pretty much left alone according to this.

DeviceProperties - so the guide draws
your attention to which properties to

change with red hi light. So I kind of
browse through a little quicker. So I’m

going to skip past the PCIRoot Section
- because I’m not using an iGPU.

iGPU is a built-in GPU.
We’re using a dedicated GPU in my example.

AppleALC has to do with sound on the
motherboard and I’m not using that.

Kernel - ok let’s go to Kernel.
So we’re going to go here. Apple CPU.

They are kind of hard to say.
So its under Quirks,

I’m just going to collapse
everything here. Quirks I need

this one set to False which it is, I
need this one set to True, so click that.

CustomSMBIOSGuid, that’s going to
be false. DisableIOMapper is True.

LapicKernelPanic is False.
PanicNoKextDump is True.

PowerTimeOutKernelPanic is True.
And XhciPortLimit is True for now.

And I’m going to hit FIle->Save
make sure everything is saved.

Next, I’m only going to skip right to
the red marks because that’s an indicator

that there’s something I have to change
there. Everything else is being left

as default.
Let’s go to Misc Miscellaneous. Debug

AppleDebug, this is temporary but
we’re going to set that to True.

And ApplePanic to True and target to 67.
AllowNVRAMReset under Security set to

rue. And AllowSetDefault to True.
ScanPolicy is 0. SecureBootModel

Default and Value “Optional”. Not Secure
ok Option spelled correctly.

Alright I’m going to hit File-> Save.
Next NVRAM, Boot Args this is important.

Lets go down to boot-args. You definitely
need -v that’s verbose. Keepsyms

is 1. And you going to add for now
debug=0x100 I’m going to not worry

about AppleALC I’m going to add it because
its telling me to. It doesn’t really

affect me since like I said
I’m not doing onboard sound.

Prev-lang-keyboard, i’ll just leave that alone.

Prev-lang-keyboard, so US is
this one so let’s just paste that one in.

Thats US.
File->Save.

Now remember everything under the
pictures is explained what they are so if

you’re not sure what things are
please go down and read all this.

PlatformInfo, ok this is where you
are going to use the GenerateSMBIOS

utility.
iMac14,4 Haswell with iGPU and iMac15,1

with dedicated GPU. So that’s the
one I’m going to use.

iMac15,1 so what I have to do is
run the GenSMBIOS application.

So I’m going to go to that folder, run
this. And I’m going to say Generate

SMBIOS 3. OK And I’m going to type
in iMac15,1. Now it gives me these

unique values, Now it gives me these
unique values, and I don’t want to show

them to you because its a serial number
but basically you get the type serial,

boardserial, smuuid and applerom.
Go to the Apple Check Coverage page

and enter in your serial number, you
can copy that the command prompt and

hit paste.
Alright if it says “We’re sorry,

but this serial number isn’t valid. Please check
your information and try again.”

Then you’ve successfully found a serial
number that is not in use,

and that’s what you’re looking for.
Take those values and put them under

PlatformInforGeneric. And I can’t show
you this because my serial number is special.

But under, take iMac15,1 and put that
under SystemProductName. Your serial

number, copy that and put that
goes under SystemSerialNumber your

BoardSerial goes under MLB. And your
SMUUID you copy that and that goes

under system UUID and apple rom that
goes under ROM. And I’m going to hit

save. And I’m going to collapse this
so I can go back to sharing my screen.

So GenericPlatformInfo is filled in.
UEFI is generated.

IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio under
quirks, lets go down to quirks.

IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio is Yes or True.
Ok, and… Onto the installation page.

So now, I’m pretty sure this is the
moment of truth. This is where we are

going to take out, we’re going to
eject the USB, we are put it into the

computer. And we are going to see if
we can get even get anything to boot.

OK, hey, everyone this is Aaron from
Studio 3B. Back again after a little trial.

I just ejected the USB and put it in my
other computer off camera just to give

it a trial just to see how it would run
and I got stuck there after letting it sit

there for about 10 minutes. So I looked
at the error and did a little Googling.

So what do typically when you get a
problem with reaching the installer on a

Hackintosh, is you look at the last line,
you look at the error you’re getting.

Just put that in a Google Search. Put
“OpenCore” with that Google Search.

And you have to go through forums.
You have to pretty much find questions

that have already been answered
with regards to that error or if you

absolutely are the first one to ever
encounter that error which is highly

unlikely, you can post a question on a forum.

But what I realized is in looking back
through my USB I skipped a crucial

step.
So,

comparing the USB kext with the
required kext I’m seeing I’m missing a

Lilu.kext. So that’s something I need
to download and add to my usb before I

try again.
So, I’m going to do that.

And this is one of the main things that
you have to go through when making a

Hackintosh - is skipping steps by accident.
You don’t do it intentionally. It’s

unintentional. But it’s easy to do. Even
in my tutorial, here, I missed this. So

I’m putting Lilu.kext. Thats
a required kext from OpenCore.

Alright, I’m going to go and try this again
and if it works, II will film it for you.

Ok so, that didn’t work. That was
definitely a required kext but

it still got
stuck on the same error.

I’m going to put my USB back in this computer and
I’m just going to through all my settings one more

time to make sure I didn’t
miss anything.

So the error I’m getting is something
revolving around ACPI. I don’t know if

its Power Management or anything
like that, but let me check.

Ok one thing I just found was an extra
equals sign in my boot-args. So I had

an extra equals sign here that I just took out.
It’s also important to look at the BIOS

settings on your computer. The one I’m
working on already has the BIOS settings

set properly for hackintoshing, but
its important to look at this

and set your BIOS settings properly.
Another thing you can do is take a picture

of the error so you are able to look
at it closely and search on it.

So I took a picture on my camera
so let me get that image up.

Ok so this is the error that I got on my
last boot. So it’s really just the output

of the logs. But you have to look
through it to see what the error is.

And what I see here is something having to do with

ForcingCSRuntime.
Let’s see, so I see this

AppleACPICPU Error timeout it says get failure.
So down here it says busy timeout apple acpi cpu.

So what we can do is
google search that and

I’ll say “OpenCore AppleACPICPU timeout” and try
this one. Alright this one says don’t have both

FakeSMC and VirtualSMC
enabled.

Oh! You know what I did? I added Lilu.kext
to my kext folder but I did not add

it back to the config, so lets do that.
So go to ProperTree, and then you have to go

File->OC Snapshot and then
select your OC Directory

from your USB drive one more time.
And its going to reload so now if I

look in here if I do control + f I should see
Lilu, no I don’t see that. Search on the value.

Yes there it is. Ok so let’s save
this file, let’s eject one more

time and try it over on the computer.
And like I said once I get it working,

I will stop taking picture of the errors and
just show you the boot.

Ok guys here’s the moment of truth. I’m
going to take the USB drive that I’ve

been working on, I’m going
to put it in the computer and

I’m going to turn the
power on.

When you get to this you click
delete or whatever key that your

motherboard says to get to the BIOS.
I’m going to go to the Boot menu, and

choose the UEFI of the Sandisk which
is the name of my usb. And you can

see by the size its only 30 gigs.
So I’m going to click on that.

And everything
is going to be textual because it’s in debug mode.

Give it a minute to reach the selection
menu. I’m going to go up to the USB

the other drives listed here are from
my other operating systems in this

computer so I’m not going
to go to those selections.

Go to USB and click
enter.

And sometimes you have to be a little
patient especially if your computer is

different speeds, or if your in DEBUG mode
like is said it’s just going to take a

little longer to boot.
Once you do the Post-Install steps its

not going to be this slow at all. But just
be patient for the initial boot.

Ok after about a minute of waiting I’m
finally seeing some text on the screen.

And we’ve reached the Apple logo.

And it looks like we’re going to make it.

Alright guys we made it to the installer.
I’m going to leave this as part one of a

multi video tutorial. I think this is
enough information for one video. Just

reaching the installer. But basically
the next steps you are going to do

is format your disk and install to that disk.
But I will leave that for the second video

and all the post-install steps I will
certainly show you as well. So,

stay tuned but congratulations you’v made it
this far which is absolutely the hardest

part of this whole thing.
Talk to you soon… bye.
