OpenCore-Post-Install VS GenSMBIOS

Rename PTS to ZPTS: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Post-Install/blob/master/extra-files/FixShutdown-Patch.plist

I think that particular kext requires SecureBoot to be setup.

I know many people have posted about this already and I know what the issue is related to. I have been trying for days to make the FixShutdown-USB-SSDT.dsl method from Dortania work but the instructions are very unclear.. This is actually my first time asking for help because I'm really stuck and don't know how to proceed.

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).

- Grabbed SSDT-USBX from here

Also download SSDT_USBX.aml from here;

Most likely you don't have any serial number bound to that VM. You can generate a SN with this script by typing your Mac model

Name: BOARD_SERIAL Key: BOARD_SERIAL Value: [Generate via GenSMBIOS](https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS)

Is your SMBIOS configured properly ? Use Corpnewt’s GenSMBIOS Also, you may create a separate account on your hackintosh to do this.

Looks like you're trying to use a "Configurator" utility in your video.Most likely part of your problem. Not any part of them are supported around here. Try GenSMBios or just manually enter it in your config.

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)

if you have/did a proper SMBIOS injection, nothing happens, it's just like you have a real mac. Just avoid changing your SMBIOS abruptly (if ever) with your account logged in, best to log out and try new SMBIOS. For better SMBIOS injection I recommend you to use "GenSMBIOS". In my case, all services always work on the first try.

Not necessarily at the moment, after installation (if everything is ok - I hope so), you can do it with https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS
