OpenCore-Post-Install VS USBMap

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).

If you are stuck with using macOS only, they recommend USBMap anyway -> https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

Download Python, and USBMap from https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

iMessage and FaceTime works as well as all of my USB ports since I've mapped them manually with USBMap linked here https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap.

Just confirming that you have built a USBMap.kext? Per this guide?

https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap is a reference for how to map USB. You can also read here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/pastrychefs-asus-rog-strix-z370-g-gaming-wi-fi-ac-build-w-i9-9900k-amd-6600-xt.239969/ (search: map) for details on the fact that the motherboard's M2 slot uses an internal USB2 port. If it's not mapped, no USB, no BT.

Mapped using the Corpnewt guide linked from Dortania guide

Not sure where I'm going wrong - I've updated to the latest version of OpenCore and I'm running just fine on Catalina. There are a few threads similar to this that recommend USB mapping, so I tried that, using the USBMap/Readme. It hasn't seemed to make a difference, unless I screwed up somewhere, but all my ports currently work fine. I have yet to try USBInjectAll.kext, as I do not currently need that to boot and use my USBs in Catalina, but that will probably be my next step.

Then I cannot get my USB ports to work properly. I'm trying to map them with USBMap but they only seem to recognise USB3 devices and not USB2. I have a USB3 disk that I have plugged into everything and it shows up in USBMap and IORegestryExplorer, but when I do the same with my USB2 keyboard, it doesn't find it at all.

Also, use this to map your USBs: https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap
