Your USB should be MBR, not GPT (MBR is easier to deal with for edits to EFI/Clover).
And your partition should be named "install_osx" (yours is not, which means you did not follow the guide).

Am I doing it right? I can see my USB in boot options, but I still get black screen after selecting it to boot

That setup looks fine. Maybe it is a problem in the version of Clover (r4200) you chose to use.
Try different version.

Tried r4184, same problem

Check BIOS settings.
For example, whether you have legacy boot enabled or not.
Try different settings for config.plist/GUI/ScreenResolution.

Also, keep in mind that some BIOS will not boot UEFI from an MBR USB.
Therefore, try also GPT.
It is not possible for me to predict the restrictions your BIOS may have.

I still have some difficulty to compiling DSDT,
The compiler return 6 error like:

6126, syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_ARG1
6126, syntax error, unexpected '}'
6126, syntax error, unexpected $end and premature End-Of-File

I read that it came from the version of iasl 5.1 instead of 6.1.
But I can not install maciASL from the github of Rehabman:

make in the repo return:

Check dependencies
error: There is no SDK with the name or path '/Users/pierrot/Downloads/OS-X-MaciASL-patchmatic-master/macosx10.10'

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
Check dependencies
(1 failure)
make: *** [all] Error 65

Otherwise I have succesfully install Intel-iasl from github.

but I don't show IASL 6.1 in perferences of MaciASL after :

sudo cp /usr/bin/iasl /Applications/MaciASL.app/Contents/MacOS/iasl61


Thank for your help

No need to build MaciASL.
Pre-built MaciASL.app is provided.
Read the README.

If you wish to build it, you must either change the SDK used in the project or install the required SDK (from older Xcode).

Thank you Rehabman all clear now for me.

I still have two compile error.

I find solution but don't work:

Method (ADBG, 1, Serialized)
{
If (CondRefOf (MDBG))
{
Return (MDBG)
Arg0
}

Return (Zero)
}

compiler return syntax error unexpected "}"

And last line of code have compile error :
unexpected $end and premature End-Of-File

Here is my DSDT.dsl

Anyone successful in updating/upgrading to High Sierra on their 9343? I am unable to even get to Clover with my boot USB, let alone the installer.
