Z390MPro4-i7-9700K-Sapphire-RX580

Introduction

This repository is designed for Asrock Z390MPro4 to run Mojave 10.14.X/Catalina 10.15.X with no hassle. However, due to the time constraint, a step by step installation guide won't be covered in this guide. For more information (regarding installation), please check [Guide] Creating OSX Installer by Rehabman or installing Mojave 10.14.x with Etcher.

Performance

(Since I do not have any front USB, only the rear ones were enabled.)

What works

• dGPU Hardware Accelaration (Final Cut Pro X, VideoProc, Compressor tested)
• AirDrop, Handoff (Apple Wi-Fi/Bluetooth required)
• iMessage (complete serial required)
• All USB3.1 Gen1/USB2.0 ports (few USB2.0 ports disabled)
• HDMI Audio (Sound Control is required to adjust volume)
• Onboard HD Audio (Realtek alc892, layout id: 1)

Bugs

• USB 3.1 Gen2 (may require a USB3.1 Gen2 to PCIe Card, i.g. ASM1142 chip-based)
• USB Type-C has no video output (iGPU video output has been disabled to enable dGPU HW acceleration)

BIOS Settings

• BIOS Version P1.3 (Please do not upgrade! I was NOT able to boot up macOS with P4.X BIOSs and I had to disassemble the chip and flash P1.30 firmware.)

We don't recommend users to update the BIOS if their system is already running normally.

1. Download Hackintosh-BIOS.BIN from the release page or Clone the whole repository (the file is under <repositoryDirectory>/BIOS_settings) and place it in an FAT32 USB.
2. Enter BIOS setup
3. direct to OC Tweaker/ Load USER UEFI Setup Profile from Disk
4. select Hackintosh-BIOS.BIN from your USB.
