I’m new to hackintosh(this is my first), and I don’t have a normal MacBook to use for the boot drive. I’ve tried Transmac, BootDiskUtility, I’ve tried various distros and olarila images (this was before I really knew they weren’t vanilla). I finally caved and made a VMware virtual machine, and used TINU to make an install drive for Catalina, and automatically installed the clover EFI folder (using the option in TINU), and the USB boot drive still doesn’t show any boot options, it just has the small icons below to edit the configuration. I’m using the EFI folder that I’ve found from this video, but I’ve also tried using my own EFI folder with kexts that I’ve found online, nothing has worked. im using latitude e5470 Specs: CPU: i5-6300u GPU Intel HD 520 Ram: 8gb 2133mhz dual channel the screen is 1080p, I’m not sure if that comes stock or if that was later installed as I bought it used im installing the OS on a Kingston 120gb a400 and I’m using a Kingston data traveller 16gb stick. any help is appreciated. I’m at school at the moment, but I’ll upload a picture of the clover bootmenu when I get home, it’s just the regular boot menu without any big icons to select, just the small ones in the bottom.

Hey! I have a working and stable Mojave running on this Acer notebook. For installation and post-installation use my guide: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11355-acer-aspire-v-15-v5-591g-mojave-windows-10/ Note: The Mojave bootpack can be used for High Sierra too. If you are using a Single RAM and getting panics at boot add these to your config.plist (SMBIOS->after "Version 1.0") Please edit the frequency and size to match your RAM: <key>Version</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>Memory</key> <dict> <key>Channels</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>SlotCount</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>Modules</key> <array> <dict> <key>Slot</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>Size</key> <integer>8192</integer> <key>Frequency</key> <integer>2133</integer> <key>Type</key> <string>DDR4</string> </dict> </array> </dict> </dict> Thanks to all OSXLatitude members for helping me out!
