    I have mapped the usb's (I think), I just plugged my Magic Keyboard with a usb-a to lightning to every port on the nuc including the usb-c with a usb-c to lighting cable. i used https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool/releases/tag/0.2 for this.

    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.

    1) On your EFI folder under OC/Tools you are missing Openshell.efi 2) In your OC/Kexts folder what is the Whatevername file?? 3) In your OC/Kexts folder the UTBDefault.kext must not be there. Make sure you made the USB Mapping correctly USBToolBox

    As for the USB mapping that was a pain for me.. My motherboard has onboard BT/WIFI card Intel AX200, which was ..hmm .. OK for Hand Off and enabling wi-fi. But i wanted real native Mac experience. So i extracted the BCM94360CD Apple Airport Card from my old (screen damaged) iMac late 2013. Ordered a PCIe adapter from AliExpress and as i was for it to arrive i was making USB mapping to ensure that even the Internal USB Headers of the motherboard are recognised correctly from MacOS. I made 3 different USB maps .. One from Hackintool app. One within Macos and one on Windows 11. That was because my motherboard has ONLY 2 USB headers which both are occupied ( one for the front usb panel of the case and one the pump of the AIO ) so i ordered a USB header splitter along with the PCIe adapter (the truth is that i ordered 2 different kind/brands splitters just for sure that one of them will work.) For the result.. USB mapping from Hackintool app was crap. USb mapping from within MacOS was not accurate and the one that worked was Windows 11 side USB mapping method using USBToolBox. Link : https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool/releases The only thing i needed to do for the BCM94360CD to work was to remove the wifi/bt related kexts.

    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

    One immediate problem I see is the lack of a USB map, make it with USBToolBox.
