In part 2 of our Hackintosh series, I show you the step-by-step software installation process for our Oculus Hackintosh build from beginning to end. Here is a link to the parts we used:
If you've always wanted to know how easy of difficult a Hackintosh install can be, watch this video. You might be surprised by how simple it is.

For the most clarity throughout the entirety of the tutorial, I capture everything, even BIOS, using direct feed. To do this, I used the Elgato Game Capture HD60:

watching.
+9to5Mac have you installed the wifi drivers?
Hi Jeff, is there an article or a tutorial on how to dual boot the
hackintosh with windows? That is what i would like to do when i build this
I waited so long for an Video like that, thanks very easy tutorial:)
I gotta ask it, what capture card / software did you use to record the BIOS
and install process?
+DJ Buddha Hi there. I’m using the Elgato Game Capture HD60:
http://amzn.to/22kQEOo Decent piece of tech. I had the old version, and it
was always solid. Allows you to capture pretty much any output via HDMI
that isn’t protected.
+DJ Buddha You set it at 1080p beforehand. I have had it unexpectedly quit
recording at times, but for the most part it worked very well. No split
clips unless you stop recording and start a new one.
Excellent step for step tutorial. More confident to tackle a hackintosh
project after viewing this. Can anyone or any video editors out there
comment as wether it would be better to use an AMD GPU if my main
intentions is to use FCPX? And what card would you recommend?
+Fujiboy99 definitely amd. I’d look at a 290x
+9to5Mac I got 390, when typing in the nv_disable=1 what would be for the
AMD 390?
How do I install Mac without erasing my whole SSD because I already have
Windows 10 on it and I want to install Mac on it as well without losing my
files. I should also note that I have an HDD with all my other files like
games etc, would I have to format this as well or no?
Btw my specs are: i5-4590, 750 ti, gigabyte ga-b85m-hd3 motherboard, 8gb
ddr3 1600 MHz, 250gb 850 evo SSD and 1 tb wd blue HDD
Just get another HDD or SSD. They are pretty cheap. Especially HDDs
Do you need to format the USB to Mac Journaled, or can you just leave it in
FAT-32?
What do you type in at 7:45 for an AMD GPU?
+9to5Mac music??? sounds like my limeSomething on my music channel unless
ou made a similar live loop
128 gig USB stick :p thats like over 5 times more that I got on my cell
phone…
Hi, can I use a bluetooth magic track pad, and a mac keyboard with this
kind of hackintosh?.
How can I get a copy if no one I know uses Mac?
go to apple store and download the os and drivers there 😀
if u talking about u having a PC then your u can still download it. just
use virtual machine on PC u will be good. then u can download os x from the
app store
Are we able to dual boot with these instructions, or do we need additional
software? I don’t recall you mentioning creating two partitions – one for
windows and one for OSX.
Im trying this now but with a second drive in my machine so I will let you
know 🙂
dual boot is easy. just make sure u install windows in UEFI mode
Do you think it will work with the nVidia GTX 1080 or AMD R9 480?
i think it will work but with gtx 1080 no drivers yet and 480 not out but
with time will work.. with 1080 i think will be soon. we will get the
drivers
Yeah, I’m just thinking longer term.
Does this works with ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 mobo, AMD FX6300 CPU, GTX 750 Ti,
6GB RAM? Because when I start it up (after closing bios with saving my
settings) my pc stays flickering with 1 underscore… I don’t know what to
do. I did everything the same.
Some hardware doesnt work for hackintosh
unfortunately you need an Intel CPU for this method. there are some
distributions that include support, but they are not vanilla like
installations like this.
+Tyler Gale Alright, thanks. In a few months I’m going to buy an Intel Core
i5-4460 with the MSI B85-G43 Gaming motherboard. Hope it works then.
+JustTwan
Can’t vouch for that particular motherboard, but I just did a completely
successful build with an Asus H81-M (about the same price as your board),
i7 4790 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 760. Only had to install a driver for the
network and audio for the motherboard (which was just selecting two check
boxes on the Multibeast utility mentioned in this video). Absolutely rock
solid, and no issues at all (can game, use app store, imessage, etc without
issues).
+Tyler Gale sick!
What if we don’t have a mac?
PC use virtual machine
What if we dont have both?
+Amir Reza Well, ask for a Mac from a friend?
u can use a pc to create a bootable mac osX
Mine freezes on the apple logo and loading bar once i click external to
boot from mac osx
your PC specs
Do we have to call the main drive “Mactintosh HD”? Or can we call it
anything we want?
Do I need a Gigabyte Mainboard for a hackintosh? Or can I use an Asus
Mainboard or another one?
gigabyte boards are more recommended because they seem to work with
hackintosh builds the best
+EmbraceElectric okay thanks. Should I built a 1500$ Pc and run it with
Windows 10 an OS X or only OS X?
Its up to you, if you have specific programs or games you want to play that
are only available on windows, then you might want to have a dual boot with
windows. If not then just stick with OSX.
So you need a wired keyboard and mouse for the instalation, I can’t use my
magic keyboard and trackpad?
I have a older Macbook (the old white one), can the setup USB drive be done
on that or do I need the same or close os to set up the USB drive?
You need yosemite and up.
I’m having problems where mine shows an x in a circle after the apple logo
in clover. Help?
