kext VS OpenCore-Post-Install

do you have both USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext? you need both USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext for USBToolBox to function. https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext

https://github.com/USBToolBox/toolhttps://github.com/USBToolBox/kext

Output from usb mapping is UTBMap.kext. Then you add USBToolbox.kext

If you have access to windows, this is a good usb mapping script. https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext. Heaps of guides around.

USBtoolbox, UTBmap

Do the usb mapping with USBToolboxadd Toolbox.kext too

Next, head here (https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext/releases)

Before you install OSX on the target machine, install Windows 10 or Windows 11 first. Make sure that ALL of your drivers for Windows 10 or 11 are installed (especially your chipset drivers). Use the Windows version of USBToolBox, and map your ports per their instructions (basic instructions are on the same page with the utility). Grab that here: https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool. Run the Windows.exe version (your antivirus software will go nuts trying to run this on your machine, either allow it, or rename the executable after unpacking it). Copy the created kext (called UTBMap.kext) file this program creates onto a separate flash drive to use after MacOSX is installed. Next, head here (https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext/releases), and grab the two kexts (USBToolBox.kext and UTBDefault.kext) within the zip file. Unpack, and put them in your EFI/OC/Kexts folder on your bootable USB drive. Use ProperTree to open the config.plist on your bootable drive, do an OC Clean Snapshot (this updates the config.plist with the new kexts you added), and SAVE.

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).
