Actually best method for patching DSDT?

[nysander]

Hello,

as I read many guides here and on the other sites there are many methods of patching DSDT ... but which one is preferred most? which one gives best results?

Method 1: Hot patching in config.plist like:

• DSDT Patches > Rename _DSM to XDSM
• DSDT Patches > Rename GFX0 to IGPU
• etc...

Method 2: Patching with Clover DSDT patches like:

• DSDT Fixes > AddDTGP
• DSDT Fixes > AddMCHC
• DSDT Fixes > FixMutex
• DSDT Fixes > FixRTC
• DSDT Fixes > FixShutdown

Method 3: Static patching decompiled DSDT.aml > DSDT.dsl in Clover/ACPI/patched with patches from @RehabMan Laptop github repository using MaciASL app (for example FixMutex I found to be done with both methods 2 & 3)

Method 4: Making addon SSDT files to Clover/ACPI/patched

Any explanation will be appreciated as those method mix between each other and as a result give questionable results of patching ACPI

Hot patch is best, but more difficult.
Hot patch guide is linked from main ACPI patching guide.
