[Release] Hackintool v3.x.x

[UtterDisbelief]

@joevt can you please check out this one. The Type names should now match and I've added a divider between the two lists so they can be resized properly. I also updated containsUSBPort to use the controller's locationID value.

Great work

I think this caters to very specialised users, beyond the norm, but good to know it's in there.

I think it's working well now.

I think I have lost track now, but which motherboard is this? Can't be Skylake.

How do I get rid of the error "missing mtoc or mtoc.new" please?

Mac Pro 2008.

This has been working Great for me with 10.14.6!!!

1. Does this also work for 10.15.x - or cause any issues on 10.15.x so that it should be removed prior to upgrading from 10.14.6 to 10.15.x?

2. Does the SATA HotPlug kext also work from /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other ?

3. What is the kext's name?

Whoa, you can hot swap SATA drives while your Mac is on with this kext? You have to enable hotswap in BIOS, correct?

Yes, each SATA port has a separate HotSwap enable setting in the Gigabyte BIOS. Works great, except PathFinder won't unmount the drives, but Finder will.

Sick! I have 8 SATA ports in my motherboard and a matching number of ICYDOCK hotswap bays - being able to hotswap drives will be marvelous! Thank you

Sorry I meant to write "mtoc". The Safari autocorrection changed the spelling of the word.

Can anyone help with this error please?

Hi everyone!

So I'm having a problem with the Hackintool, (I'm sure it's a PEBKAC!). I went through the instructions and created a patch:

Can anyone explain to a noob what I'm doing wrong and what I should do to get the correct values?

Thanks!

(EDIT) I did try removing the == from the hex value

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).
