Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

DSDT patch requests

Hauru replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Hi all, I hope someone will help me because honestly I don't know what to do anymore. Lenovo ThinkPad E550 In my EFI / OC / DSDT.aml SSDT-OALEC.aml SSDT-PNLF.aml Here is my problem: I have a DSDT.aml file that I downloaded from a ghitub. The settings from the keyboard for brightness, sound etc... everything works perfectly. The only problem is that it doesn't work for dual boot with Windows 11 since Opencore 0.9.8. So I generated a DSDT.aml as explained on the first page. I tried my own DSDT.aml, the dual boot works with Opencore but I no longer have sound and brightness adjustment from the keyboard. If anyone can help me that would be great ^^ Can be patched so that dual boot works on gitub's DSDT.aml because everything else works. I attach the ACPI.zip directory & the DSDT.aml download on ghitub If anyone can help me that would be great ^^ ACPI .zip DSDT.aml-Ghitub.zip
