Thus, for it to run and to modify the installer of OS X Lion you need run Unibeast in OS X. (You will have to create an account first)ģ.) A Hackintosh with OS X already installed OR a real Mac OR or a Mac OS X virtual machine: Unibeast is a Mac application. You can then use this USB drive to install Lion on your PC.

Note: A very large number of desktop motherboards are compatible but in case of laptops the compatibility list is very thin.Ģ.) Unibeast Lion Edition: This is a small tool from tonymacx86 which modifies the installer of Mac OS X Lion and writes it onto a USB drive. But a good rule of thumb is that if your Motherboard and CPU are post 2010 then most likely they will be compatible. There are (incomplete) lists of compatible motherboards and CPU’s maintained at OSx86 wiki and tonymacx86 wiki. You could use Google to check if your motherboard and CPU are Hackintosh compatible. This guide follows tonymacx86′s method, but it also attempts to explain every part of the process in detail, from beginning to end.ġ.) A compatible computer: Not every computer will work with Mac OS X, even with the help of tools like Unibeast and Multibeast. If you are interested in running Mac OS X on your computer but want to do it on a PC which is more powerful than the comparable Mac and built for a little over half the cost then a Hackintosh just might be for you.
