yes, hackintosh instructions with this computer and original bios please
I'd love a full walk-through! Thanks for all you do!
Love seeing Hackintosh builds. Was looking to do one myself but when the M1 Mac Mini hit $550 I just went that route. I do miss the flexibility to upgrade components though.
@Craig Janssen Right... I was surprised when I Googled the price of the Geekom Mini IT8 which it currently runs at min of $450. So even if the Mac was $600-700 it would have tons of more processing power than an I5.
Nice! I've always wanted to build one! This might be a better option.
Great video! Thanks a lot!
I love hackintoshes, built some back in the early 2010's.
Thank you so much for including the bios file in the download!
I'd like to see what it takes to get this set up in general. I don't have this specific computer, but I've wanted to do this with one for a few years now.
Yes would love to see a full walk through
Just buy a macmini ! thank you for this video man
Agree
Can you let me know what equipement you are using to produce your youtube. Camera / Mic / Lights ??.....Thank you
thanks a lot!
Im more confused why youre using Clover still since most everything moved on to opencore
hello. I will buy this mini pc but can you make a full video how to install hacintosh on it ?
Hi ! I see your video and I have a mac mini 2012 i5 with 2 SSD and bootcamp it's really good to have two system and can have linux too but.. .
The new mac mini m1 are great but loose bootcamp for run windows and the storage 😱
Can you send me please all instructions for install mac os on this mini pc please ? It's possible to have two system too ? Dual boot ? I don't know how use it on pc. On mac os x you can use use soft or stay on Alt.
Thank you.
1 question.. can I install Pfsense or opensense or openwrt in this machine ??
yes it's intel based x86 x64 machine.
Hi, very cool video even worked, can you show me how to install the version Ventura on Mini PC (IT8)? Thanks!
Video on how to get the apple wifi module integrated and system configured with it would be cool. Know you've done a hackintosh / clover setup vid in the past. Saw someone mentioned opencore? I know nothing about that, might be cool to look into?
I have this PC and I'd love to see a walkthrough.
The problem with this is if you're not going to run the latest version of the OS, you can buy a used iMac with a beautiful 27" display for less. than the cost of this setup without the hassle of having to get stuff to work.
Yes-I’d like to see complete hackintosh build from stock unit
is it possible to dual boot windows and mac os on this?
Yes
One of the issues I worry with hackintosh is the faffing to get stuff working. That is a major time sink IMHO.
There are alternatives to buying a mac if you just need to develop for it e.g. You rent mac mini's remotely and there are companies that offer this.
Next up: Use an M1 Mac Mini to build a "Hackindows". I don't think I've seen any video with Windows 10/11 installed on a bare-metal Apple Silicon Mac. Virtualization works, though.
Back in '08? When apple released Intel chip Mac Pro's you were able to use the official apple Bootcamp software and natively install windows, dual-boot, and even set windows as the primary to boot up into. Had the Mac for video editing software, but found I ended up essentially using the thing as a windows PC most if not all of the time and strayed away from apple back to PC after that, so I'm unsure if this is still a thing anymore though. I've seen people use software called parallels on Mac to accomplish something similar as well. Might be worth looking into? Hope that helps!
@@LastFx Yes, Boot Camp is still available for Intel-based Macs. Apple doesn't have Boot Camp for Apple Silicon Macs. Microsoft doesn't sell consumer licenses for Windows on ARM, so any bare-metal install today would be a hack. Parallels and Fusion can run Windows in virtual machines. I have been trying Windows 11 ARM on Fusion, and it's OK for some software that doesn't require 3D acceleration.
Right, I totally spaced on the whole M1 thing. Sorry, it was early here. Thanks for reminding me and the explaination!
Thank you for this video! =)
As I allready followed your tutorial for converting the the latte pasnda years ago, I have to try this tutoria too.
BUT I have one question before doing so...:
Do you have an idea how one could backup the original BIOS before converting the machine to a mac so that one could undo the changes in the future?
512 Megabytes of internal storage 🤣
It would be great with instructions.
Is good for ios development
do it, im interested to see how you installed mac os on this pc
Wow
Has anyone successfully installed on the IT13 yet?
I think it's nice to go throgh hackintosh build please
One thing might not work is drm
----- QUICK USAGE GUIDE FOR PPL WHO WANT TO INSTALL IT -----
Step1: Download and extract the zip file (keep the chinese docx opened on another pc or phone for the images)
Step2: execute step1 exe file to update the bios as shown in the video
Step3: After Reboot Plug a 16Gb+ USB Drive
Step4: launch DiskGenius as Admin and right click on your stick in the left panel
Step5: Click "Restore Image File to Disk" (be carefull to right click on your usb stick and not the partition inside)
Step6: browse for the huge .pmfx file and click start and OK
Step7: Once complete click complete and reboot with F7 to show boot menu
Step8: select USB Drive partition 1 and then in the better looking menu select Mac Os Install
Step8.5: If your pc reboot during the loading just ignore and try again few times until it boot correctly
Step9: int the install menu go to Disk Utility and Erase your HardDrive in APFS Format with a cute name ("like MacOS")
Step10: install naturally on you erased harddrive and after the reboot select the new option Mac Os Install (with the grey mac logo)
Step11: wait and finish the setup (it can reboot several times and looks crashing but still ignore and reboot it's just the install)
Step12: mount the usb EFI partition with : "diskutil list" (to locate the efi) & "sudo diskutil mountDisk DiskXsY (with X and Y the identifier of the usb efi partition)
Step13: In EFI > OC open config.plist and launch hackintool (free tool)
Step14: in hackintool put the model to a macmini 8,1 (at the bottom) then hit the refresh to generate config
Step15: copy the first 3 values in the serial tab and replace in the correspondig place in config.plist (look at the chinese docx to find the value)
Step16: mount the Hard Drive EFI with the same commands as the step 12 but with the harddrive efi diskid (DiskXsY)
Step17: replace the hardrive efi folder by the usb key efi folder
Step18: Enjoy
There's a scam on Walmart's website for a 'ultra 1tb micro sd card' for $23 what a steal!
By all means we need a tutorial on getting iMessage running. The other walk through are confusing. I know yours will be comprehensive.
I don't really see this being worth the $100-150 you are saving vs a normal Mac mini? It's basically 75-80% of the cost plus all the hassle of setting up Mac os with custom bios, and worrying about constantly keeping your machine in a functional state.
This. Also the mac will retain its value during the years.
As a fun project I'd recommend buying a second hand dell optiplex mini or a lenovo tiny for $100-150 and experimenting on those.
You know, the kind of PCs that went from $1200 to nothing in 6 years... 😂
There are a lot of folks that absolutely refuse to be locked into the hardware that Apple chooses to install in the Mac. In fact, there are a number of programs that are available on both MacOS and Windows that are basically crippled on MacOS because of Apple no longer officially supporting nVidia graphics cards.
@@MatthewN8OHU given the price of a 10 years old mac mini on ebay, people could just buy a 2-3 years old system and then simply resell it when the time is right.
Virtualization with gpu passthrough could also be a better option than a hackintosh.
@@bufordmaddogtannen I'd rather have the Hackintosh than build a server just for GPU virtualization, to be honest. Most folks that build them like tinkering with the hardware and stuff like that.
@@MatthewN8OHU even better, as a PC specced for virtualization and gpu passthrough is way more flexible and fun to work on. Also it doesn't need to be a server.
Hello. I have a geekom it13 mini computer. Could you please send me a step-by-step installation of hackintosh?
1st
I think I was first.
Bru, clover is basicaly dead.....
Opencore is much better and stable
on most my newer builds I used open core, much better
@@NovaspiritTech yes, is more stable with more function, in my laptop I've used both open core and clover, with oc I've made something like 30 days of uptime
Please we need a walk through thanks!
I'd be more impressed with holo os. 🥱 You could have bought a used iMac or Mac mini for $300... What a monumental waste of time.
Yes. Also stealing of the intellectual property right here.
@@fffUUUUUU like it used to make sense to do this but now it just seems utterly pointless. I literally went onto ebay and got a 4th gen i5 27" imac 8gb of ram for $225... Why break the law when it is so cheap not to?
