### Notes:
* This repo is based off of [the Hackintosh Aero 15X repo](https://github.com/zacmks/Hackintosh-Aero-15X).
* NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs (and GTX 1660 Ti) are not supported on any macOS version; they must be disabled.
* Killer Wireless cards are all Intel Wi-Fi cards with some rebranding.

### Special thanks to:
* [zacmks](https://github.com/zacmks/Hackintosh-Aero-15X) for already hacking an older Aero 15, which served as a base for this repo.

* [RehabMan](https://github.com/RehabMan) for his guides, tools, kexts, and other contributions to the community.

* [CorpNewt](https://github.com/corpnewt) for his tools (SSDTTime, gibMacOS, ProperTree).

* [The OpenCore Team](https://github.com/acidanthera) for OpenCore and other needed kexts.

* [OpenIntelWireless](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless) for making Intel Wi-Fi cards finally work on macOS.

### TODO:
* Maybe add support for other Aero 15 models and Aero 17 models. The W9/X9/Y9 models don't have anything yet.
