Appendix #3
This guide concentrates on the XHCI controller all modern Intel chipsets have. Some older motherboards feature chipsets with both the previous EHCI standard and the newer XHCI. Even older still might have just two EHCI. If you see three lines in the top panel of Hackintool with two EHC and one XHC controller then prioritise the XHC because this is where USB3.0 comes from. If you only see two EHC controllers then your system is stuck at USB2.0. You can use these ports though, as you move to the next stage. For more information on these see my original guide as you will need to put some renames in place in your config.plist.
Thanks for the guide! it's a great piece of work and helpful people like you deserve a whole LOT of credit. Really...
A quick question: let's say I'm using an older chipset that has both XHCI and EHCI controllers but I only want to use the USB ports managed by the XHCI controller and not bother with the USB2.0 ports from the EHCI controller(s).
Would it be OK to just omit the renames (and thus macOS would not detect these ports at all)? Or should I go through the renames and then delete all those EHCI-related USB2.0 ports using hackingtool?
