Razer Blade 15 Base Model Hackintosh

About This Mac

Intro

First of all, you need to know that a some things will not work on macOS!

This repository contains all the necessary files that I used to Hackintosh my Razer Blade

This EFI is based on Razer Blade 15 Base Model 2019 Hackintosh by The Mysticle tutorial.

NEW VERSION

The current CLOVER EFI folder is not compatible with Catalina and Big Sur! Also, it uses CLOVER. You can download the EFI_OC folder which is a new EFI folder for macOS 10.15+ (cause it uses MacBookPro16,1 SMBIOS) that uses OpenCore, which will have better support for future macOS updates!

Also, there are no unnecessary patches on OpenCore because I only patched required SSDT, there is no DSDT patch like on CLOVER!

I will not explain you how to install macOS because there are a lot of tutorials to do it! I will only explain how to have maximum hardware working after macOS installation

Fixes

WiFi + Bluetooth

In my OpenCore EFI folder, I use AirportItlwm and IntelBluetoothFirmware for macOS Big Sur, if you use another macOS version, check itlwm and IntelBluetoothFirmware pages to see what you have to do. And, if you changed you WiFi / BT card, follow another tutorial like AirPortBrcmFixup one to get it working if needed.

Audio

I use AppleALC with layout-id 21 to fix audio. If you want, you can see all the layout-ids I tried in this file.

The basic config that I used is config_UHD630.plist by RehabMan

Audio

To fix audio, you will need AppleALC kext by acidanthera

You will need to change your Clover configuration :

Open the config.plist file with a plist editor like Xcode.

Xcode

Uncomment the layout-id line (In Root > Devices > Properties > PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1f,3) > layout-id) that is commented by default.

Then set layout-id to 21.

Battery status

You will need to patch your DSDT to get battery status working.

Export ACPI

DSDT patching

sudo diskutil mount EFI

sudo cp ~/Downloads/iasl /usr/bin/
rm ~/Downloads/iasl

iasl -da -dl DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml

Sometimes, the ACPIBatteryManager can cause bugs! I suggest you to replace it by VirtualSMC and its SMCBatteryManager extension.
