Hey @corpnewt thanks for this guide, it's really easy to follow and I have never felt so confident about my hackintosh in the 5 years I've been using when as when I followed this guide.

AptioMemoryFix.efi no longer ships with new versions of Clover. According to this ticket OsXAptioFix3Drv is now the preferred driver. Recently I have been using this driver and haven't noticed any problems with stability, NVRAM. Should we change the docs at https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide/blob/master/clover-setup.md#installing-clover to reflect these changes?

I agree, in addition, the new default driver folder has changed from /drivers64UEFI to /drivers/UEFI, and this path is already used by the installer

There appears to be some dust kicked up between Acidanthera and Slice with regards to crossover drivers. It is still included by default with Dids' Clover builds - and as his is the repo I suggest in the guide - I'll likely still include the AptioMemoryFix suggestion.

The screenshots of the Clover Customization options are antiquated, and need to be updated. I use my own builds of Clover (built with my CloverExtractor script) - which include AptioMemoryFix and Acidanthera's ApfsDriverLoader for the screenshots - so even when using Dids' builds, there may be differences.

I think what makes the most sense is to update the screenshots, preserve my suggestions for AptioMemoryFix, but suggest OsxAptioFix3Drv as an alternative if using the official Clover package from SourceForge.

in addition, the new default driver folder has changed from /drivers64UEFI to /drivers/UEFI, and this path is already used by the installer

I can add a note about this as well. Currently, even the newest copies of Clover respect the prior layout of having efi drivers at drivers64UEFI - but will prioritize drivers/UEFI if found per the code starting at this line. I'll make a note that builds through r4982 use drivers64UEFI, r4983 through r4985 use UEFIDrivers (per this commit), and r4986 and newer use driver/UEFI.

If I have an opportunity today, I'll update the guide. Thanks for the suggestions.
