A Python script by corpnewt that wraps acidanthera's macserial tool to generate SMBIOS serial numbers and related identifiers for Hackintosh systems. It can optionally save the generated SMBIOS data to a plist file for use in bootloader configurations.

Use cases

  • generate SMBIOS serial numbers for a hackintosh build
  • create valid Mac serial and UUID values for OpenCore config.plist
  • pick a specific SMBIOS model and get matching board serials
  • save generated SMBIOS info to a plist file
  • regenerate serials to avoid collisions or invalid values

When to choose

  • you are building or maintaining a Hackintosh with OpenCore or Clover
  • you need valid SMBIOS identifiers matching a real Mac model
  • you want a simple interactive script instead of running macserial manually

When to avoid

  • you need SMBIOS generation on real Macs for legitimate Apple hardware
  • you want a GUI-based tool
  • your project has nothing to do with Hackintosh or macOS virtualization
