I'm updating this as I go along. I'll let people know if everything works! :D And if it doens't, maybe you guys can help me make it so.
First, I acquired the macOS Sierra 10.12 Developer Preview. I ended up finding it from a reliable source on the internet since I'm not an Apple developer, which sucked!
I then extracted from the DMG the
One thing to remember is to set the boot flags
At this stage, I'm already having some thoughts. Do they have new security in place that might prevent it from working on a PC? Can they spot (and block) Clover? There's a lot that could go wrong here. We'll see what happens when I boot from the USB drive.

I then extracted from the DMG the
Install 10.12 Developer Preview application. To install it to my (newly formatted) USB drive, I booted up my MacBook Pro, and ran the classic command for El Capitan:After a bit (a fuckton) of waiting, it was complete. At this point, after backing up the stupid USB drive so I don't have to keep recreating it, I downloaded Clover (v2.3k r3356) and installed it onto my USB drive using the same settings as for El Capitan 10.11. I also copied the installer onto my USB drive, since I'd most likely need it.sudo /Applications/Install\ 10.12\ Developer\ http://ift.tt/1rEHqO9 --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ 10.12\ Developer\ Preview.app
One thing to remember is to set the boot flags
dart=0 and mbasd=1. These are both fairly obscure flags, but quite important. dart being disabled makes the system play nice with virtualisation enabled, while mbasd puts the system into a kind of Apple hardware debug mode (I think), making the official Apple external DVD drive work with Hackintosh. Don't forget to Trust the system in the SMBIOS, too, otherwise on some systems hardware (especially RAM) can appear incorrectly.At this stage, I'm already having some thoughts.
