This is an efi boot sample file for deskmini h470 on OpenCore 0.7.5.
Hackintosh is highly hardware dependent so you might need to change your config.plist.
Big Sur now archived with OC 0.7.4 stable, focus on Monterey from now on

Hackintosh

1. HDMI and DP boots, type c not rested.
2. Sound through HDMI or DP works.
3. Sleep/wake works.
4. Powermanagement options restored via Dortania's OpenCore OpenCore Post-Install-Fixing Power Management.
5. Update tested(Fine from Big Sur 11.5.2-> 11.6 ->11.6.1, OpenCore 7.2-> 7.3 -> 7.4).
6. Airdrop and sidecar works.
7. Iservices such as facetime and imessages works as long as you generate your own SerialNumber, UUID, MLB, ROM and had a valid Apple ID in good standing(Prefered logged into a valid Apple's device before). Follows Dortania's OpenCore Post-Install-iservices.

Kexts

To my understanding, kexts are like plugins to pass on hardware information so macOS knows what to do with them. Although SSDTS could serve the same purpose, kexts are more modular and more resilent thus less prone to fail when Apple updates. Number of kexts do affect boot time to some degree so you could customize to your own need.

Known issues

1. When booting with dual screen on, horizontal stripes/artifacts appears on screen which can be solved by repluging the moniter or turn on screen after login
2. Popping/ hissing sound for speakers/headphone when booting, shutting down or sleeping, no issues when using macOS. Same issue is present in deskmini H310 and [viorel78] (viorel78/ASRock-DeskMini-310#1) suggests that adding rear audio cable could resolve this issue.
3. DRM contents such as Netflix is not playable on Safari, use Firefox, Chrome or Edge instead. (As of Big Sur, DRM are baked in Apple's hardware)
4. Wireless sidecar broken due to incomplete Bluetooth fix, wired connection is fine.

To be done in the future

1. Bulid my own custom SSDTs.
2. Follow up on display fixes and sound fixes.
3. Dual boots Monterey and Win11 with secure boot in the future.

Debugging journey

1. Always try resetting NVRAM first.
2. Change OpenCore to debug version and try to follow Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide-debugging.
