Thank you!

Do you have a DSTD / SSDT patch list, to know what patches is applied ?

Do I need to create separate SSDT´s for USB, whatever or is everything inside DSTD now ?

Regarding audio, attached is ALC898.zip with a Sound settings folder with my screenshots.

- Which one to choose? The one with the most out and inputs ?
- Have tried every alcid´s, and 98 is the most powerful, but with fewer out and inputs.. ?

DSDT :

Scope (_SB.PCI0.LPCB), Method (_QB7 & _QB8, 0, NotSerialized) // _Qxx: EC Query, xx=0x00-0xFF

This scope / method lags when using brightness down and up keys, due to this delay brightness suddenly goes to zero and black / blank screen without being possible to correct or set brightness up again, having to restart via power button to solve.

Can this method be different or replaced with the one I made ?

Method (BRTN, 1, Serialized)
    {
        If ((0x87 == Arg0))
        {
            Notify (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)
        }

        If ((0x86 == Arg0))
        {
            Notify (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)
        }
    }

A little unsure how to implement this without ruining what you have created, can you help me?

Have followed your guide and it worked fine, when it comes to USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 it does not appear in Hackintool.

USB 3.0 x2 - HS03 / SS03 & HS04 / SS04, USB 2.0 x1 - HS08, USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 x1 - ?

USB 3.1 Gen 2 - ? USB 3.0 - SS04
Type-C ** Type-A **

** Share upstream USB bandwidth

When the USB C is not visible in Hackintool, then there is not much more I can do ?

MaLd0n · December 4, 2020

in this case usb-c is rp05/pxsx, this device dont work inside xhc device

tbrautaset · December 4, 2020

So if I put my usb-c´s rp05 / pxsx into a new SSDT-RP05.PXSX-to-XHC2 and re-create USBPorts.kext then I'm ok ?

/*
 * The goal of this SSDT is to rename the ASM1142 USB 3.1 PXSX type to xHCI,
 * and create USB C port numbers manually so that they appear in the USB tab
 * of Hackintool, and the Olarila Video Guide - USB Port Mapping can be used.

Hi,

Some users have PS2 to ADB remap SSDT on their MSI laptops along with OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller, is it possible to look up somewhere to find out which keys / functions are used here?

Especially the last one, what is the meaning of: "e037 = 0" // nullify ps2 code 'e0 37' ?

Hi,

Regarding PS2 and ADB keyboard key rename / redirect.

Did not quite understand your answer with that patch ?

What I wonder is if there is any overview or table where I can find out which key / function PS2 map e077 or ADB map 6b is ?

If PS2 map e077 is to be redirected to ADB 6b, what does it mean further down that PS2 map e037 is set to ADB map 0 ?

Thank you very much for your patience and my somewhat incomprehensible English knowledge in my questions

Have edited my answer further up, regarding making an SSDT that allows to get USB C in Hackintool for my laptop, even though you said it was not necessary, just trying to learn more about ASL and ACPI ?
