This part in the Dortania guide is confusing to me, can someone explain what I’m supposed to do in layman’s terms? (Kaby Lake laptop)
If you have access to macOS than you can download and open this tool https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL/releases. Right after you open this tool will show you your DSDT and than you can search for whatever the guide tells you to search for.

HP 250 G8 macOS Monterey 12.3 restarts at shutdown
Then I assumed that I need an editor that can open .aml/.dsl files and use it to find some text in the DSDT.aml, which then I have to paste into the FixShutdown-USB-SSDT.dsl. For this purpose I used MaciASL (which is also not mentioned in the instructions).

Lenovo T530. BigSur 11.6.4/OC 0.7.8
Can't emphasize enough for anyone new - take the time and get a basic understanding of how ACPI tables work. Tools used - OpenCore 0.7.8, ProperTree, ssdtprgen, iASL (MaciASL), SSDTTime, and Hackintool for exploring the Hardware and IOReg. i'm averaging 2:45 on battery; for reference - it's roughly 4 in Windows, and less than 2 in Kubuntu 22.04
- Success! Acer Aspire 5 A514-52G running macOS 12.2 "Monterey".
- Hackintoshing and need a solution? THE ANSWER IS HERE!

A little stuck. Got my hackintosh running 98% perfectly, but the battery indicator is wonky.
Note that do NOT use iasl or maciASL by Rehab (they are old and not updated) instead use the ones by acidanthera, iasl-stable, maciASL

AIO display may be using a different display connector (probably LVDS which is mostly uses in laptops). Could have a look at hackintool and check what connectors need patching. Hope it helps.

My USB keyboard is randomly stops working. I have to sleep and wake my build to make it work again.
Download Hackintool to confirm your ports are working properly. This is also a handy tool to see all of your active kexts, check for updates etc. I often use it to update my kexts.

I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
A quick thought: Something similar (many) already exist. One is https://www.sl-soft.de/en/kext-updater/, another is https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools, another is https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool. Does yours offer something different?
