along with a SSDT-UIAC.aml which is incorrect

choose either USBPorts.kext and remove the rest (did you create this USBPorts.kext yourself? if not remove that)

did you create your own SSDT-UIAC.aml ?

XhciPortLimit needs to be disabled if your ports settings above is correct, if not, leave it enabled and remove:

USBPorts-All.kext
SSDT-UIAC.aml
USBPorts.kext
and you can create your own setup later after installation

ScanPolicy should be set to 0

doubt you need agdpmod=ignore boot argument

both of these 0's needs to be set as -1:

Code: 
<key>MinDate</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>MinVersion</key>
            <integer>0</integer>

Thank you for getting back to me, i am now looking for the larger part of code to remove, have removed and adjusted other information you provided, may have to leave it until tomorrow now before i really make a mistake.

Thanks again, and as i said sorry for your wasted time earlier.

p.s. what are the easiest config.plist editors available, or is text edit just as good?

do not use a text editor as that can screw things up, PlistEditPro is a good one to use
 
Thanks for the reply and suggesting that application, i could'nt remember what i used before, it is alot eaier to navigate through. I think i have made all the changes mentioned, but the same issue, i have added the revised EFI folder, i did look through the config.plist 2 or 3 times but didnt notice anything?

I have been wondering why my Big Sur & Monterery USB's worked but not this one, a bit baffled :confused:

(UPDATE)

My wife who has worked along side me for nearly 18 years stepped in and helped me sort out the EFI folder correctly and Catalina is now nearly installed,She wants to thank you as she has followed the steps on the open core link you shared early on in the post,Which i missed :banghead: (and admittedly i missed this, which was a differant page to where i started).

Thank you for all your help and advice, i am sure i will come across othere issues with 3 screen setup etc.

(Update)

Managed to get 10.5.7 installed using Open Core 8.2, Catalina is now booting from the SSD, but my main problem is the ethernet & bluetooth which shows red as shown in picture below, as i am trying to continue following Dortania's post install guide at present.

Have included my EFI below, Any help advice appreciated, thank you :)

assuming just the IntelMausi kext for your ethernet should do the job?

maybe remove the MinKernel, so make this:

Code: 
<dict>
                <key>Arch</key>
                <string>x86_64</string>

                <key>Enabled</key>
                <false/>
                <key>ExecutablePath</key>

                <string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
            </dict>

look like:

also you seem to have installed kexts for broadcom and intel wifi, what make and model wifi do you have in your machine?

​

I am not sure why they are there, other than i have an external usb ac wifi & bluetooth device's which i use with my windows 11 system, which is on the same HDMI/USB switch the Mac is also on(and used to be on also), so i suppose i assumed i needed those kexts, but maybe not?

My motherboard wireless is Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201

Thank you for getting back, i will make the above changes :thumbup:
