My OpenCore EFI folder for Hackintosh-ing.

NOTE: This EFI folder is very outdated, use something like OpCore-Simplify instead if you want a more updated and functional hackintosh. This repo exists only for historical purposes.

My specs:
Intel Core i5-10210U @ 1.60 GHz
20GB DDR4-2667 SODIMM RAM (4GB soldered, 16GB additional)
Intel UHD Graphics 620 (0x9b41) (spoofed to 0x3e9b)
NVIDIA GeForce MX 230 (Disabled via -wegnoegpu)
Fenvi BCM94360NG Wireless card (802.11ac)

What works:

All USB Ports1
Audio Out
Backlight keys
Battery Percentage Monitor
Built-in Speakers
Camera
HDMI & HDMI audio
Power Management
Sidecar
Trackpad gestures
WiFi, Airdrop, Airplay and Bluetooth

What doesn't work:

Internal & Headphone jack microphone2
Windows Dual-Boot

Untested:

Displayport via USB-C (disabled in config.plist)
Security lock

Partially working:

Headphone jack audio3
Fingerprint sensor4

Additional Notes:

The serial number in Platforminfo > Generic is blanked out. You can generate a serial with GenSMBIOS.
My CFG Lock is disabled using Dortania's method so if your CFG Lock is still enabled, enable AppleXcpmCfgLock in Kernel > Quirks. (ControlMSRE2 reports CFG lock enabled, idk why).

Footnotes

  1. Create your own USBMap kext to load, this EFI doesn't contain any. ↩

  2. The microphone and headphone jack input will likely never work on macOS due to Intel's SST, which never had a driver released or kext developed for it. ↩

  3. You must set alcid=16 or 10000000 in DeviceProperties. Changing the alcid causes instability with main speakers. ↩

  4. Using the sensor natively doesn't work, but it does function if passed through to a Windows virtual machine. ↩
