Okay I guess I need to explain it better. Whenever I copied the exact data tony said to use the output shows Fg instead of FQ. Why is this? I rechecked it over and over and even copied and pasted his and its still the same. Did something change I am wondering?

Thanks for the reply

No idea without seeing your config.plist. You didn't attach it.
 
Hi. @roboman01 tries to say that Tony offers on first page settings both for Clover Configurator users in HEX formatted data as well as Base64 for direct editing config.plist in text editor.

For 100 series both Find/Replace data match to each other between HEX and Base64 in translation. In 9 series they differ. Base64 "Replace" data says the correct 21 in decimal, like Rehabman explained. But HEX "Replace" data translates to 22 in decimal.

Fixed post #1 hex data of 20 port patch to match base64 data and description.

Keep in mind it does not matter what you set the new limit to (20, 21, 22, 23, ... 26) as long as it is larger than the maximum number of ports possible on your xHCI controller.

Also, keep in mind the port limit patch IS NOT for long term use. It is to be used only for the port discovery process as part of creating a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext. In the end, you want to be within the 15-port limit as exceeding it is not stable.
 
Thanks! Yes, its not a critical problem. I just wanted to clear this little confusion.
Of course i used this patch only for port discovery and disabled it right after, Sir!:thumbup:
 
Okay I understand now I appreciate the info...What I am finding that I guess Apple has rewritten a lot of stuff, mainly with USB and other things and man Sierra IMHO just doesn't hold up too good IMHO. I downgraded back to Yosemite because I use a few audio applications I purchased before Redmatica shut down. These applications are dead in the water in Sierra. So, with Yosemite I have no issues with USB so I am going to stick with that as long as I can.
 
I have read all post until now, but Im confused so, could you be so kind to explain for my build_
mobo: z270xp-sli
cpu: i5 6600k

Thanks!
 
hi guys. what if I want to put limit up to 30?
