OCAuxiliaryTools VS SSDTTime

I did the upgrade using a mix of the classic Dortania guide + Open Core Auxiliary Tools (OCAT) which is super useful to be honest.

Use this. It checks your config. Updates kext and OC. https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools

Your config.plist don't match with your OC version. Use OpenCoreAuxiliaryTool or ProperTree to update oc and plist.

Side note: I only started to use OCAuxiliaryTools today to make things easier. ProperTree was getting a little hard to follow some time =)

Maybe give OCAT (https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools) a try. I did a 0.7.x to 0.8.7 a while back without incident as well as just bumping to 0.8.9 the other day.

Friendly reminder there’s this cool OpenCore Auxiliary Tools app with GUI to effortlessly update your opencore

I've followed this guide on (https://github.com/valnoxy/t440p-oc) and using OCAT(https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools) to edit config.plist and validate

Build SSDT-EC, SSDT-USBX, SSDT-XOSI, SSDT-PLUG, and SSDT-HPET from SSDTTime instead of manually https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime

I'm trying to do a fresh install of Ventura. I tried using SSDTTime from my Catalina at first, only to discover that the option to dump DSDT is disabled by design because that'll not give me the unadulterated DSDT which makes sense.

Precisely, I went through the guide once more, discovered some new tools (like USBToolBox for example) then I did USB mapping + SSDTs (using SSDTTime) by hand (I was not sure that I did them properly in the first place, 3 years ago). Then with those clean SSDTs & kext, I used my old EFI and OCAT to merge everything together. Double checked everything at the end just to be sure that I did not forget a thing and that OCAT did not mess up anything.

I couldn't get past this point in mine without running https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime and enabling `SetupVirtualMap` in Booter Quirks

It's a must though. Every PC is different, even 2 identical models might not have the same ACPI tables.. I would Start here.. There's only a few things you'll really need, especially on these machines. While there's many methods, a clean install of windows NOT booted through OpenCore, using SSDTime is the easiest for most.

I built my own SSDTs using SSDTTime.

OpenCore 0.8.7 / Dumping DSDT use SSDTTime for generate ACPI Tables / Use genSMBIOS for generate MLB (Board Serial), ROM (Mac Address), SystemSerialNumber (Serial), SystemUUID (SmUUID)

try mapping usb drive on windows first using USBToolBox as USBInjectAll isn't fully working anymore on Monterey. Also I suggest creating your own SSDT/acpi patches via SSDTTime.

If so, switch back to AppleALC and add SSDT-HPET.aml with the patches in the patches.plist generated in SSDTTime (https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime).
