New version 3.2.0 looks great!

One question though, why does it always indicate a new version, but when I go to URL or download, it is not the newer version listed:

it means you will have to compile the latest ones
 
The values you're entering should be entered in the base64 box.

BABmAQ== (base 64) is the same as
04 00 66 01 (hex) or
01 66 00 04 (hex reversed).
Thanks LisaAlterEgo! Worked like a charm!
 
One question though, why does it always indicate a new version, but when I go to URL or download, it is not the newer version listed:

The version is pulled from source. When the version is bumped (e.g., https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/commit/a5c8693f8a352d9b40f830adc42d3b7148331f75), Hackintool will mark the new package available. Naturally you have to sift thru the source code to see if the new version has any changes (AppleALC does not, simply a version bump).

Yes and big thanks to @ultratiem for the UI and icon updates!

One question though, why does it always indicate a new version, but when I go to URL or download, it is not the newer version listed:
It's only supposed to highlight red when a new official download is available not when the repo version is higher. This is fixed in the latest release of Hackintool.
 
I did a fresh install of Catalina and installed kexts using Hackintool to L/E. I was expecting problems and/or a prompt to mount the root partition as read/write, but none of this happened and it just installed the kexts. Is mounting the root as read/write no longer needed? And what about disabling Gatekeeper? Also no longer needed? (no prompt for that either)

Hey @headkaze! Just got back from my trip, and trying to finally sort out my USB ports. I think I might have a new bug for you: all of my ports are duplicated! Anything I can do to help bug fix?
It's not really a bug just the backward compatility isn't working. If you do a "Clear All" then "Refresh" it should correctly list your ports again.

Woo hoo! That did the trick - I have all my USB ports working exactly as they should now! Thanks so much for all your patience and help!!

Anyone who can confirm this behavior?
