Changing active usb ports using proper tree.

[Feartech]

Hi Everyone

I wanted to change the 15 usb ports in use as i found it wasnt the best way i had them set up. I went back to the "The New Beginner's Guide to USB Port Configuration" but it said to set up USB configuration in Catalina as allowing all usb ports to work to chose the 15 from doesnt work in later osx.

I already have a working USBPorts.kext can i just go into this in proper tree and switch ports on and off as i already know the numbers of the ports. Looking at this in proper tree i dont understand how to do this. Sorry i am a bit of a noob.

Any tips appreciated , i have attached a screen shot of the proper tree with it open. For each port i can see

Data and USBconnector number.

yes, you can use that, PlistEditPro is a nicer program to use

I dont understand how i open or close the ports, as in what values to enter.

You should really do all of this within the Hackintool app as the guide suggests. Then you don't need to use a plist editor to add or remove ports. Run Hackintool again, make changes and save the new kext.

The problem is i cannot get all the ports to work to set what i need in hackintool, i just tried using the https://github.com/CaseySJ/OS-X-USB-Inject-All/releases but my hack would not boot.
