This contains a list of the kext files I use for my hackintosh. You may eventually need to update your kext files when new versions of macOS comes out for continued support.
Kext Locations:
Universal driver for Mac OS X 10.x.x. Only one drive for many Wireless USB Adapters on the chip Realtek The list of supported devices and chips: The package includes: 1.RtWlanU.kext 2.Wireless Network Utility 3.Icon app in the status bar and a separate utility to delete old files. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Check the Realtek site for the latest driver of your USB Ethernet adapter and download it. The driver zip file should contain an uninstall.zip. Unzip this also and double-click the resulting uninstall.command file. Enter the admin (root) password and reboot your Mac. Using an uninstaller provided with the driver installer is recommended. Apr 03, 2020 A universal driver adding support for Realtek network devices. The Realtek Ethernet All-in-One Windows Driver is intended for the installation of 'Realtek FE/GbE Family Controller' under most operating systems. If this package has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) this package will fix problems, add new functions, or expand functions.
Required
These two kexts you should always have in your EFI partition.
FakeSMC.kext – Mantatory kext that emulates a Mac and is required to boot a hackintosh. When you download FakeSMC the folder will also contain Sensor kexts that you can use to monitor your hackintosh read about that here : HWMonitor Sensor Guide
Lilu.kext – Arbitrary kext that is required other kexts to work like AppleALC.kext & NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext. Some Gigabyte motherboards have trouble with some versions of Lilu.kext breaking audio. I recommend those users use v1.0.0, instead of the latest version.
USB
USBInjectAll.kext – Injects all USB ports
XHCI-200-series-injector.kext – Enables USB 3 device detection and USB 3 speeds on Kaby Lake motherboards. This kext is also recommended to have during the macOS install process so you can use those USB 3 ports and flash drives.
Ethernet
IntelMausiEthernet.kext – Enables ethernet for motherboards using an Intel Ethernet Chipset.
RealtekRTL8111.kext – Enables ethernet for motherboards using a Realtek Ethernet Chipset
AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext – Enables ethernet for motherboards using Killer Lan Ethernet Chipset
Graphics
NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext – Allows the latest Mac SMBIOS definitions to be used like iMac 17,x and iMac 18,x. You would want to use these SMBIOS defintions if you are using a Skylake or Kabylake CPU respectively. Updating to the latest version may fix black screen issues.
IntelGraphicsFixup.kext – Fixes display and graphical issues when using integrated graphics. I also recommend setting DVMT Pre-Allocated to 128M or higher in BIOS if using the Intel iGPU to enable high resolution displays.
WhateverGreen.kext – Enables AMD graphic cards in macOS 10.12.6 or later. Will require Lilu.kext. Read about it here : How to hackintosh AMD graphics cards in Sierra 10.12.6+
Shiki.kext – Protects against graphical issues with video playback
Audio
AppleALC.kext – Enables audio on a hackintosh. Read about how to enable audio here: Hackintosh Audio Guide. Some gigabyte users have problems with AppleALC.kext not enabling audio. I recommend them using v1.1.0, instead of the latest version.
HDMIAudio.kext – May help enable HDMI audio on some graphic cards. Mac os high sierra skinpack for windows 10 1. Read about it here : Hackintosh HDMI Audio + DisplayPort GFX Card Sound Guide
CodecCommander.kext – Fixes a problem with dim sounding or lower volume audio after sleeping/botting the hackintosh by updating EAPD (External Amplifier) state on HDA.
Spoofs
FAKEPCIID.kext – Enables support for Intel processors on earlier versions of macOS that don’t support that processor by pretending to be a supported processor. Kaby Lake CPU’s are nativily supported as of macOS 10.12.6
FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext – Enables integrated graphics on iGPU’s that are not supported in macOS by mimicking another supported iGPU. Kaby Lake CPU’s with HD 630 are supported nativily in 10.12.6. If you have upgraded to 10.12.6 you can remove this kext.
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext – Used to enabled hackintosh support for Pentium Processors like the G4560

RTL8111, RTL8168, RTL8111C, RTL8111CP, RTL8111D, RTL8111DL, RTL8168C, RTL8111DP, RTL8111E, RTL8168E, RTL8111F, RTL8411, RTL8111G, RTL8111GUS, RTL8411B, RTL8411BN, RTL8118AS, RTL8110SC, RTL8110SCL, RTL8110S, RTL8110SB, RTL8110SBL, RTL8169SB, RTL8169SBL, RTL1869S, RTL8169SL, RTL8169, RTL8100E, RTL8101E, RTL8102-GR, RTL1=8103E, RTL8103EL, RTL8102E, and RTL8102EL. Please be aware that the newer driver version may support the newest models of networking chips. It is very important to install a proper driver that is matched to your version of Windows. Installing a mismatched driver can cause a wide array of issues, starting with the inability of your Windows OS to properly detect networking hardware, serious occurrences of system instability crashes, or even data loss due to sudden restarts when your storage drivers are in use. Installation and Use The latest version of Realtek Ethernet Lan Driver is intended to be used on Windows 7 and Windows 10. It comes as a modestly sized package that’s just over 10 MB in size and requires the user to manually install the drivers on their PC. Thankfully this procedure is not that difficult. All that you need to do is to go to Device Manager configuration window (right-click on Start Button > Device Manager, or simply search for it with Windows search tool) and locate the networking hardware section with the device that is marked as not working properly. From there you can right-click on that Realtek networking hardware and choose Upgrade Driver and Choose from Disk options. Simply navigate to the storage directory where you have unpacked Realtek Ethernet Lan Driver How To Install Mieze's Realtek Ethernet Driver For Macos Sierrs Downloadarchive and Windows will do the rest.While this driver archive is optimized for Windows 7 and 10, some users have reported that these drivers are also compatible with Windows Vista and 8.
