Clover versions 4200 and 4330 work

With MAC OS every time you update the OS the nvidia driver becomes incompatible simple because the build number of MAC OS doesn't match what the nvidia driver is looking for. Its crazy that something as simple as that would cause such a issue but it is what it is. Hackintoshing is not for the faint of heart. With the updating of clover i ran the v4318 installer with all the same options as gridrunners options. No need to copy over the apfs.efi and HFPPlus.efi files as they will already be in the efi partition from your original install. Copy over the vm-ackintosh config.plist to the EFI/Clover folder and add the nvidia web system parameter to it using Clover configurator. Last make sure the FakeSMC.kext is in too, it should be there from your original install but just make sure. Restart and you should be go to go.

Update successful.....Ran update selected the install from HD selection in clover. It installs then boots right back up. Installed the alternate graphic drivers and everythings all good. Will try updating clover now.

Im updating now

BTW high sierra updated to 10.13.2 today

Gonna have to try updating clover and play with some of these CPU options. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I have a R5 1600x and I turned off c states. Been stable for over a month now. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Try different vnc clients. I found the built in vnc client to not be the best. I use vnc player(Chrome app) and Google remote desktop they both work great. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I had my UNRAID server freeze up a bit while using this. Was watching a football game for about 2 hours and the transcoding must have filled the ram up till there was no memory left. I have 32 GB of RAM but I had a VM running at the same time. unRAID started killing off Dockers till it finally killed Plex. Works great for movies, TV shows etc but be careful with the DVR.

It was kinda sluggish in vnc but i just chalked it up to the nature of vnc, especially the way the vm has to be setup with all the edits to the xml just to get mouse scrolling to work correctly. The first go around i had with os x mouse lag was with horrible in vnc. Mouse was laggy all over and everything. I started playing with amount of cores given to it and set the topology to be a little more standard and that made it a lot better. If i gave the vm any amount of core out of the ordinary the mouse would lag all over the place.

Not really sluggish for me but this is my first hackintosh in a while. Also im using a 1080p monitor and my main rig is a 1440p 144Hz monitor so everything else looks sluggish in nature.

This is the video for virt manager stuff. Its not easy but it makes adding new hardware a lot easier. As for the migration for some reason in my case whenever i tried installing clover to the main drive in MacOS it would install CLOVER to the root of the main drive and not the EFI partiton. Don't know if its a issue with the version of clover i was using or it being really a vdisk it wouldn't do it. I would mount the EFI partition of the main disk and all the was there was a APPLE folder. If you look at the pics CLOVER actually created a EFI folder on the Hard drive. The wrong spot. So i just mount the EFI partition and straight copied the contents of the EFI folder on the main disk to the EFI folder in the EFI partition.

I setup a separate vm template based on the Mac Vm xml but for passed thru hardware. I setup virt manager like in grindrunners videos and used it to add the GPU and a couple usb devices to the new vm . Its easy as pick and choose. Adding devices thru virt manager does not reset the xml. I also removed the VNC and QXL video adapters in virt manager. After i had the xml setup I booted my VNCed high sierra... edited the plist file with clover configurator to add the NvidiaWeb System Parameter then installed the Nvidia web drivers. Shutdown the VM. Now boot into the new vm with all the hardware add and it should just boot up. I also had to add the rom dump line to my xml as ryzen has no iGPU.

I used clover ver 4200. Also for passing thru all the hardware when migranting from the VNC setup i used virt manager. I set it up a ubuntu VM. It really makes it easy. One quirk when installing clover on the new install to migrate from the install disk it wouldn't mount and install to the EFI. It may have been a problem with the version I was using. To correct this i installed clover to my main drive then copy over the EFI folder to the EFI partition. After that copy over the Clover folder from the install disk.

Big Thanks gridrunner, I got a High Sierra VM working with a GT 1030 passed thru, a bluetooth 4.0 dongle for bluetooth audio and a usb Roccat Juke for my headphones. Im using synergy so i don't need a mouse or keyboard plus this VM is mostly used as a HTPC. I added most of the devices using virt manager in a ubuntu vm. Im running a Ryzen r5 1600x and i gave the vm 4 cores 8 threads. Its running really well. Nvidia web drivers installed without issue and its using the apfs file system. Thanks for all the guides.

Restarted my Plex docker and the option for he encoding popped up without touching the cmd line. I'm using Plex official docker on the latest release.
