[Guide] Patching LAPTOP DSDT/SSDTs

[Wuttodo]

No unusual errors with your files (with refs.txt, which is not required, or without it).
I disassembled: iasl -da -dl DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml
The only error is because of extraneous External(BNUM, which is addressed in the guide.
Read post #1.

Thank you. I have done the whole process, no errors. Only step I skipped is creating and using refs.txt, is it okay? As you mentioned "which is not required", or I misunderstood?

Your files do not need refs.txt. refs.txt usually only needed with older ACPI sets that don't have embedded External opcodes.

Thank you sir. And thank you for explanation, I further researched and understood it even more now.

What is the issue?

at the #1426 page 143 https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...acklight-control.152659/page-143#post-1734882 you confirm my api wrong. So I was re-patch again from origin after deleted ACPI then F4

I followed the guide to complete the process. On using "Rename _DSM methods to XDSM" on SSDT-7.dsl, I was keep getting error so I used "Remove _DSM methods" patch on that one only, with no errors to compile as aml.

Files attached. Please look into SSDT-7, and Clover folder>ACPI>patched. (No DSDT or SSDT from F4 clover are there, just some required ones I found in guides)

Your ACPI configuration is still wrong.
Dynamic SSDTs are *never* placed in ACPI/patched.
No need for any patched SSDTs in ACPI/patched with a single GPU (even with dual GPU, only the SSDTs that require patches related to disabling the DGPU should be included).

No need for SSDT.aml, as CPU PM is implemented with config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true.

Since your profile indicates only single GPU, I expect only these files in ACPI/patched:
DSDT.aml
SSDT-PNLF.aml

But maybe your profile is inaccurate (if so, please fix), as I don't see why you would create SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml, if you have no secondary DGPU.

No need for all SSDTs in ACPI/patched.
Include only the files that require patches in ACPI/patched.

Thank you, but another noob question, how I will know which ones are needed? Because every SSDT accepted patches I applied to them. (except SSDT-7)
But as it seems like only 6 were accepted by system in verbose mode screenshot. Is there any command or way to know which 6 were they? Or which ones I should move to clover>patched.
And thanks to you for your patches and guides and being always here to help people like me. I am on my last step to achieve best hackintosh laptop ever.
