Since, all I've seen in terms of similar boards on any Hackintosh forum is the Z97-D3H, here's my guide how i set up my Hackintosh on the Z97M-DS3H. I haven't seen one ANYWHERE. Anyway, first here is what works and what doesn't using the Unibeast+Multibeast:
-Facetime works, with along with the incoming call and making calls from Facetime app. :D Found this out when i got a call (I believe this feature only works if you have either an iPhone on iOS 8 or hooked up on your Apple ID, not sure. I've tested this a few times, with my Jailbroken iPhone 6 8.1.2 and not once have I missed it on my Hackintosh.) Only problem is i have no line-in devices so i can't actually speak back yet xD lol
-iMessage, as usual, has no working methods for the TonyMac method yet, but for a good substitute i use the jailbreak tweak: Remote Messages (iOS8) it works amazing, and even better is that it works with chrome notifications, haven't tested on Safari, but i would assume it does, not sure yet. I'll be sure to try on Safari.
-Basically every other service works amazing and such :)
-Audio works great, but the occasional pop happens here or there where speakers will make a small popping sound but not a big issue, other than that, its flawless
WHAT IS NOT WORKING:
-OS X native iMessage (Substitute listed above)
-Forced Sleep: For some odd reason, when i use the sleep button in the top of the OS X menu, under the apple, my Hackintosh won't wake if its more than like a 30 second sleep sesh. However, natural sleep, (where i let it run to the point of the screen turns off, it will wake no problems, if i press any key.
This is what i mean by the forced sleep issue, this button where my mouse clicker is: http://imgur.com/Gcy5gLK
But for me honestly, its not that big of an issue C:
BUILD: -Gigabyte-Z97M-DS3H
-Intel Core i3 4360 (socket 1150) with Intel HD4600 Integrated graphics
-Kingston 120GB SSD
-8 GB of 2 1333Mhz PNY 4GB sticks
-550w ThermalTake Smart PSU
-Ultra Defender II (comes with two Blue LED fans so thats cool, its a midtower, i have tons of space still)
-No dedicated GPU, using Intel Graphics, and they still work amazing and recognized natively by OS X
-IOGear Bluetooth 4.0 USB for bluetooth, works OOTB (out of the box) and no issues, except when i try to connect a bluetooth mic from my ps3, no apps seem to wanna open anymore and the apps start freezing and issues. Weird. Just reboot and dont connect it, thats the simple fix. I tested the bluetooth with my PS3 controller, works great with OpenEmu, and i tried my iPhone with Notifyr, no issues there.
-D Link Wireless N Nano USB Adapter (DWA-131), theres a weird driver you need for this, i'll see if i can find a link for it, if i can't i'll post a link with it, its quite a weird simple fix. Wifi works great, no issues, i usually get 70%100% connection strength with this thing. Router is in my basement and i'm on the second floor in my house C:
STEPS:
1) Here is a link for TonyMac's Unibeast+Multibeast method. its pure GOLD. LINK: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/143976-unibeast-install-os-x-yosemite-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
2) The Bios settings I used were all the defaults, except later when i already had OS X installed, i realized i never turned off Intel Virtualization technology in BIOS, so i looked in Mobo booklet and i disabled it, then booted back into OS X, no issues. Just also make sure you have AHCI as sata controller mode.
3) Install as normal, no bootFlags needed to enter OS X Installer, just boot and install as normal w^
4) Boot into OS X, no boot flags, again c:
5) Setup your OS X info, select my Mac doesn't connect to the internet (we'll use a wifi usb later, or you can set up your PCI-e wifi card if you opted for one and install those kexts later and stuff)
6) Once booted, Use Multibeast ( i put this on the same USB, once Unibeast finished making a bootable drive) and use these configs. I HAVE NOT TESTED USB 3, however i WILL make an edit, as i'm backing up my OS X install right now, and will test. SCREENSHOT: http://imgur.com/EDPI4Ep
I WILL SEE IF USB 3 WORKS After I backup my install.
-After, that installation of the Kexts and drivers from multibeast, I'd say the system was 99% functional, besides the forced sleep option c:
I can steadily run Minecraft, Left 4 Dead 2 on the integrated graphics, with the exception of a few optional toned down settings, but nothing major, at 60FPS no lag or dips.
My system is the fastest computer i've used from any computer in my whole life ^ (coming from HDD computers all my life, so not a big surprise xD )
i usually have 2-8 apps open and with Ram Cleaner from the mac app store set to automatically clean ram, whenever it gets low, (i'm sure i don't need this but i bought 1333 mhz ram so eh :P who cares anyway i don't pay attention to it, but when i look, its usually at anywhere from Gigs to 6 Gigs
I plan to add a GPU when i get some more money c:
Hope this helps anyone with the same motherboard, as i haven't seen any guides on this board! :D
(NOTE: FOR THE LAST TIME, its the Z97M-DS3H i'm talking about, not the Z97M-D3H. There are tons of D3H guides i've seen.)
