This repository contains OpenCore EFI files for the ASUS Prime Z490M-Plus motherboard.
I will update this repository as I upgrade to the latest versions of macOS. Anything on the 'main' branch is what I'm currently using. You can also find version tags.
I hope this repository will help others who are looking to build a Hackintosh with the same hardware and software configuration.
If you want to build a Hackintosh for yourself, I highly recommend going through the OpenCore Install Guide itself. You will have to go through the instructions multiple times. I spent a lot of time figuring out the errors I made at various points, and I can share those to help others so they don't make the same mistakes and hopefully save a lot of time and frustration.
"I'm only adding details relevant to the setup here, but feel free to reach out to me if you want to know more about my setup.
