Bonjour,

Very often I go there to find answer of my Hackintosh question.
Very often I found what I need here and there.

Reason of this post is not to ask any help but to share my EFI for "macOS Big Sur" with Open Core 0.6.3 on my desktop that correspond exactly to the first post (dual boot with Windows 10 on 1TB SSD).

GCU SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ | Radeon RX 5700 XT - PCI-Express 16x 4.0 - 8 GO - GDDR6
MB GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 | SOCKET 1151 | DDR4 | CHIPSET Z370 | PCI 16X | USB 3.1
CPU INTEL Core i7-8700K | 3.7Ghz ( Turbo : 4.7Ghz ) | 12Mo Cache | Hexa-core| Débloqué p ...
RAM(32 Gb) CORSAIR Flash Voyager Slider X2 256 Go | USB 3.0 | Bleue | Lecture 200 Mbs | Ecriture 90 Mbs
SSD SAMSUNG SSD Serie 850 Pro - 2.5 pouces | 1 To - SATA III - basic Kit

I am new on this exercise and sure this work is higly perfectible, sure. As far as I can see everything work properly.

If you want to help me to change something for a better result, It is hope to you.

Thanks you all

I don't run Windows but I am intrigued to see what's going on here.
I'm assuming, the OFF_ACPI folder means that, anything you put in it, does not get loaded in Windows?

Hi Plexi. I went through my mojave installation and found a bunch of clover crap...guess it wasn't as vanilla as I thought. After lots of cleaning everything seems to be working. I mapped the USB ports successfully. I even upgraded to big sur!! Massive Thanks!!! Could not have managed without your help!
Cheers Fleisch

Great you got it going good, and also got it up to Big Sur.
I've not had any issues installing it yet.
Main difference is, it wakes the puter on one tap, then the screen on the second tap.
Never a problem waking it up though.

Yes, it is. I dont take the time to clean all my work as I was very proud to introduce me to you like I am.
An honnest man.

Take care of you, our world is dangerous ...

So if my edited DSDT.aml goes in the OFF_ACPI folder, as well as in the ACPI folder, the Windows system will try to boot without the original system DSDT, because a file with the same label has been turned off?

Sorry, I am not at this level of knowledge for Open Core, neither Clover.
I used the pieces of good working files to build an USB working to install "macOS Big" without kernel panic.
Not easier.
I checked deeply config.plist to register ACPI files and to cope with https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ as far as possible for me.

Yes, probably this EFI folder justify additional work.

Have you tried using just the DSDT and installing boot camp drivers in Windows?
I used to do that but I've not run Windows for years.
I just like to get Darwin running good
You'll need to check RebaseRegions in OC /ACPI /Quirks, if you wanna use just the DSDT.

USB mapping really depends on your computer case and what USB ports it has on the front?
Mine has two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0.
Attached is my EFI with the USB Mapped.
I've also checked the option so that NVRAM reset will show up in the picker menu.
That might need doing.

I combined this F14 EFI with F15a DSDT on your previous post! it works smoothly!
I'm on Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 + i9-9900k + VEGA64 + NVMe Samsung 960 Pro

The only thing I can't make it work is CPU temperature on iStat Menu. Any suggestion?

Get me a vanilla system DSDT for your system and we'll get it even better.
Not used iStat myself.
Try Intel Power Gadget.
