After months of lusting after my very own hackintosh, I bit the bullet and had tremendous, first-time success. I wish jailbreaking my 12 mini was this easy! Much appreciation to the trials and tribulations for those that came before me. I understand that this device is more than likely a ticking time-bomb with the equipped nvidia, but here it goes:
I followed Hervé's guide here. Worked just as described first time around. Granted, this is my first hackintosh, but I'm not afraid to fiddle around with clover configurator to get this thing into prime shape. The only adjustments I've made are directly from the post related to HS and changing my serial (among a few other identifiers as prescribed).
Before I made the decision to install clover, I made some interesting upgrade choices on this machine that was otherwise collecting dust - first laptop that I've worked on beyond upgrading RAM/storage. The T8300 works; but I should have opted for the T9300 - oh well.
WiFi card. Rather than picking almost the first one suggested by the video tutorials on youtube, I should have consulted with the inventory of supported cards. I'm finding myself in buyer's paralysis - I have managed to confuse myself with the recent realization that WWAN =/ WLAN. I want the fastest compatible (presumably AC), and I also want bluetooth, but cannot for the life of me find any reference to this mysterious DW360 bluetooth module that's referenced across these many posts.

Side note on optimization: I'm unsure if these are directions to find these files and/or execution of various kexts. To quote from the install guide:

native CPU speedstep (with SMC-tuned Kozlek's FakeSMC v6.13.1363 and MBP7,1 SMBIOS profile)
Keep DSDT as is and clone the GFX0 section of the MBP5,1 entry of AGPM kext Info plist to a new Vendor10deDevice042b entry with control-id set to 18.
...Obviously, solution #2 is the preferred method as it does not require the somehow risky DSDT patch and it fits in line with existing entries in the AGPM kext Info plist.
I've just achieved identical results on my D620 nVidia model, using the exact same principles but a different device id for the Quadro NVS 110M GPU (id 0x01d7).
...It's pretty safe to say this extends to other D830

Hi all,
After months of lusting after my very own hackintosh, I bit the bullet and had tremendous, first-time success. I wish jailbreaking my 12 mini was this easy! Much appreciation to the trials and tribulations for those that came before me. I understand that this device is more than likely a ticking time-bomb with the equipped nvidia, but here it goes:
