kext VS SSDTTime

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.

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).
