You need to include VirtualSMC.kext in your kext folder and your config.plist.

ECEnabler: No more ACPI patches for battery! (Sorta)
Dual battery users may get one of the batteries showing, check these https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC/blob/master/Docs/SSDT-BATC.dsl https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC/blob/master/Docs/Dual%20Battery%20Support.md

Success - Acer C720-3404 with Core i3 (OpenCore Mojave and Big Sur).
I was happy to see the battery didn't have larger than 8-bit registers, so no battery ACPI patching required, yay. You just need to install SMCBatteryManager.kext

clean DSDT dump from existing OC system?
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.

Asus B360M - i3 9100F - RX 550 - Sabrent Rocket - Fenvi T919 - Ventura 13.3.1
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.

[HELP] Intel HD 630 Hardware Acceleration in Ventura and cannot boot without -igfxvesa [DELL VOSTRO 3268] OpenCore 0.9.0
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.

Hackintosh USB freezes while loading
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.

successful build Dell Inspiron 3593, Big Sur but sound is not working
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).
