Link Kext Helper For Mac

Hi there, I recently downloaded a dodgy file that, in short, made me delete a number of kexts from my system in order to get my system up and running again.
Everything seems to be going fine except some graphics are lagging and when I try to open iMovie or Final Cut it says quartz extreme is not supported, when I know it was before. This is quite major, because in addition to it being an inconvenience, as I'm working on a project at the moment which would require one of those programs (preferably the latter). I tried to reinstall Snow Leopard, but it says my disk is faulty, even though it looks fine and has worked once before. So, it would seem that short of getting hold of a new Snow Leopard disk, my only option is to download and install the required files.
Luckily, I made a list of what I deleted. I deleted the following files:
GeForceVADriver.bundle
GeForceGA.plugin
GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle
GeForce7xxxGLDriver.bundle
GeForce.kext
AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle
AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin
AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext
AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle
AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin
AppleIntelGMA950.kext
NVDAResman.kext
NVDANV50Hal.kext
NVDANV40Hal.kext
Natit.kext
I Googled and saw someone say that the AppleIntelGMA950s, Natit and Appleintelintegratedframebuffer were required. I downloaded those kexts and installed them with Kext Helper B7 (making sure to correct permissions) but Quartz Extreme is still disabled. Can someone tell me what I need to do, or at least show me where to download all of the above kexts?
I am currently running Version 10.6.2 Mac OS X.
Thanks in advance.
  1. Link Kext Helper For Mac Os

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.

Disable Mac OS X Keyboard (built-in only). Copy link Quote reply. Any help is appreciated. (kernel) Kext com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard not found for. The only kext installer you need is KextBeast v2.0.1, which is an 'official' tonymacx86 utility. You can download it from here.

Kext Locations:

  • If using the Clover method I like to stuff my kexts in/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
  • If not you can place non-required kexts in /System/Library/Extensions
Required

These two kexts you should always have in your EFI partition.

KextHelper

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. 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.

Octane

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext – Used to enabled hackintosh support for Pentium Processors like the G4560
