As I wrote, _Q66 will eventually land in BRT6.
Refer to the code in post #1344 and patch accordingly.

Right, spent about two hours attempting to patch everything, and there's something dodgy somewhere that's causing everything to just not work.
I have tried the BRT6 patch multiple times, and I cannot get it to work. I am substantially out of my depth in debugging further. DSDT-Patched.aml has the BRT6 patch applied, as is described in your OP.

I have included in my debug zip two logs - One with the fully patched DSDT, and one with a normal clean boot. Just before I dumped each log, I pressed both brightness keys one after the other, then immediately saved the log. At the bottom of each should be the output.
Even with a clean boot, I still get this huge spew of error messages whenever I press the brightness keys.
I do not have the knowledge to know what any of this means. I do not know what other patches need to be applied, what this log is telling me, or how to go about writing any other patches. I am at an absolute loss, and I really need some assistance here.
Thanks again

You have _OSI calls unpatched for "Darwin" (in OSID).
Use _OSI->XOSI, OSID->XSID, and SSDT-XOSI.aml instead of static patching.
Also, you're using the "smarttouchpad" driver, but are attempting to use notify codes for my VoodooPS2Controller.kext. "smarttouchpad" (referred to in the guide as the ELAN kext) uses different codes.

Hooraaaaaay! Success!
Thank you so much, I know it's taken forever and I've been an absolute idiot about it, but it's working perfectly now. I'm gonna have a quick go at making it work in config.plist/ACPI/Patches, but if I have no luck I'm not too bothered. That's full functionality on my laptop now (Except for an out of phase headphone jack, but I think that's an AppleALC issue).
Do you have any sort of donation page set up? I want to throw a couple of dollars as a thank you for the help.
Thanks!
EDIT: Already given up on the hotpatch lol, since it's patching with a longer string I've got no idea how that works. I also have no idea what I would have to rename to make a new method in an SSDT, especially since it has that weird ^^ bit in the patch.

Hotpatch for BRT6 is fits into the "rename/replace" pattern.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Your _BCM, _BQC, _BCL methods are in SSDT-5-SaSsdt.aml.
They are at _SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD1F, not DD02.
You most modify the patch (or the patched code) accordingly to use External and to match your DD1F path.
This is the modified (after applying the patch) PNLF._BCM as an example:
Code:
// _BCM/_BQC: set/get for brightness level
Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
// Update backlight via existing DSDT methods
External(^^DD1F._BCM, MethodObj)
^^DD1F._BCM(Arg0)
}Following that example, here is the complete set:
Code:
// _BCM/_BQC: set/get for brightness level
Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
// Update backlight via existing DSDT methods
External(^^DD1F._BCM, MethodObj)
^^DD1F._BCM(Arg0)
}
Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
{
External(^^DD1F._BQC, MethodObj)
