# FAQ
|
|
|
|
#### "Does everything work?"
|
|
Not everything, some features will inherently never work under macOS. The most needed, day-to-day features, however, work as they do in a real Mac.
|
|
|
|
#### "Is this project maintained?"
|
|
Yes, until eventually my x1c6 dies or macOS phases out update (even then, it'll likely last a few more years).
|
|
|
|
#### "Can this brick my laptop?"
|
|
Not very likely, expect drive wipes and lost time, however.
|
|
|
|
#### "Can you port this for X machine?"
|
|
No.
|
|
|
|
#### "How do I keep my Hackitnosh setup updated?"
|
|
Currently, there is no automatic solution available. For now, I recommend you create a GitHub watch alert.

If I missed something here, refer to the official OpenCore docs first, then Dortania's docs. Only then, if you still haven't found what you're looking for, seek Google or forum help.

# Requirements
|
|
|
|
## Strict requirements
|
|
- Flash drive, 12GB or more.
|
|
- Patience and time, especially if this is your first time Hackintosh-ing.
|
|
|
|
## Optional
|
|
- A macOS machine to create an offline macOS installer.
|
|
- [SPI Programmer CH341a and SOIC8 connector](https://www.amazon.com/Organizer-Socket-Adpter-Programmer-CH341A/dp/B07R5LPTYM) are needed if you are going to mod your BIOS.
|
|
- Xcode works fine for editing plist files on macOS, but I prefer [PlistEdit Pro](https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/plisteditpro/).
|
|
- [ProperTree](https://github.com/corpnewt/ProperTree) if you need to edit plist files on Windows.
|
|
- [MaciASL](https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL), for patching ACPI tables and editing ACPI patches.
|
|
- [MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI) to quickly mount EFI partitions.
|
|
- [IORegistryExplorer](https://developer.apple.com/downloads), for diagnosis.
|
|
- [Hackintool](https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335018-hackintool-v286/), for diagnostic ONLY, Hackintool should not be used for patching, it is outdated.
