Stork's MyHero Build: ASUS ROG Z170 MAXIMUS VIII HERO - i7-6700K - GTX 980

The USB 3.1 gen 2 ports are on a separate controller and are not counted towards the 15 port limit.

Ahh - so they are on the AsMedia-Controller I guess. If I understand it right the only chance is that there is a kext out there to support USB 3.1 Type C on this specific controller right?
Or is it impossible when the controller is not the Intel chipset?

Yes, they are on ASMedia controller.

macOS should have built-in support for the ASMedia controller. You shouldn't need to do anything extra to get them working.

You're right. I quickly borrow an USB Type-C stick from my neighbor - works fine. Thanks for that hint!!

Found out that the cable got a problem. After changing it, iPad Pro got recognized in Finder BUT not in Ssidecar.
As soon as I connect the iPad via cable, Sidecar app changes from displaying my iPad Pro as a device to a greyed out "no devices". As soon as I disconnect, it changes again to "iPad Pro" as a compatible device.

So there must be a problem when using Sidecar via cable - over WiFi it works flawless.
Thanks.

@Stork,
Have you updated to Mojave with this build? If so, does everything still work?

@Stork,

I keep forgetting to document how I did it. But, it's easy. I mentioned it in Post #1646.

After you install Mojave, see my post here to get ready for Catalina.

I have a bootable Mojave USB created in a Unibeast 9.2.0. I installed it on another PC without any questions, and then it goes to such a menu

For those of you who are masochists and have updated to Catalina, you can see why I advocating not upgrading to a new macOS until the .3 update, especially Catalina.

Six Reasons Why iOS 13 and Catalina Are So Buggy - TidBITS

By most accounts, the release of iOS 13 and macOS 10.15 Catalina have been troubled, with numerous significant bugs making it past Apple’s internal testing and the public beta phase. Former Apple engineer David Shayer explains the underlying reasons these releases have had so many problems.

Additionally, Catalina won't run 32bit apps. I always wait until at least the .3 update of macOS to make sure Apple gets the major bugs corrected.

BTW, get the GO64 freeware utility to identify all your 32bit applications so you can update them or get rid of them and find new ones that 64bit applications. See this article about more information on using GO54 and the 32bit application issue.

Go64 quickly scans your internal drive for 32-bit applications that wonu2019t be compatible after installing macOS Catalina and helps find potential upgrades to keep software working.

Yes,
I made a mistake of upgrading Catalina, and all went South! It took only one hour to revert back! Well, I ended up upgrading from Sierra to Mojave.
I have a horrible video card on my ASUS Maximus VIII Hero, and wondering if I could upgrade to a 3D-capable video card, such as NVIDIA Quadro P4000? Anyone tried this?

@Stork, hello! can you please attach your clover folder? All USB disconnects after selecting a boot disk, I don’t know what to do ...
Although once all the same it booted from a flash drive by some miracle, it no longer comes out

What version of macOS have you installed?

(I don't post my EFI or config.plist files as you don't learn how to debug your installation.)
