Corsair CommanderPro UPS Help/Fix

[r4eshaddict]

Seeking some Hackintosh expert eyes/input on this one...

I run a Corsair CommanderPro Fan Controller Bridge– which macOS registers the vendor/product IDs and believes there is a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) plugged in and running off the battery when it detects the Corsair Commander Pro.

For a long time I used Acleee's fix on Github here, but it stopped working I believe in Monterey (still not working in Ventura).
This was a worthy solution while it lasted– the readme explains how it simply leverages Restricted Events to block the `ioupsd` service locked at `/usr/libexec/ioupsd`.

I opened the project in Xcode to do some probing and am in over-my-head. I did notice some designations that referenced an older version of OSX.

At any rate. Aclee's CommanderProFix.kext is out-of-date and I'm pleading to some generous code-wizardly-hackintosh-expert willing to take a look and see if there is anything obvious to tweak and hopefully recompile a fix for Ventura 13.1.

Who wants to be my hero!?

Perhaps this was a long shot! So this will be my last attempt to bump this thread... , but any .kext wrangling experts or code wizards feeling generous/sympethetic?!

Wow... to my amazement... after I was nearly ready to give up on this my hero "DreamWhite" on GitHub has come to the rescue and done exactly what I was looking to do here (literally pushed this code like 6hrs ago / I can't believe I stumbled across this): https://github.com/dreamwhite/CommanderProFix

For any future on-lookers struggling with the Corsair Commander Pro triggering the stupid UPS error on Hackintosh... this will solve your problems on OSX 13 Venture.
Thank you DreamWhite... whoever you are!

I was able to get this kext working again in Sonoma. See attached for the compiled kext.

I modified dreamwhite's project, changing line 124 of CommanderProFix.cpp to:

KernelVersion::Sonoma

I built it with the latest Lilu libs (v1.6.7)

@r4eshaddict @brandname Also where did you place the kext at? (in what order in Kernel of Opencore (after what)?
