Asus G750JX: porting DSDT patches to SSDT or OC ACPI patches

[Hervé]

Not that it'll help you much but I prefer to advise you that, afaik, no Hackintosh laptop ever got its Wifi LED to lit when running OS X/macOS. It's something that appears universally unsupported.

last time that led's worked was in leopard 10.5

I actually have it working with EmlyDinesh Custom LED patch for DSDT it works in BigSur.  Just want to  port it over to SSDT.  See first post the patches are there.  2nd or 3rd post has native and patched DSDT.

I accidentally renamed the wrong method to XINI, now I know what you meant by I might need the INI method that was in the code section below must have had a brain fart.  SO I have renamed this now, still no LED yet would like to see if we can try a few more things if possible?

 

      Method (XINI, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            OSYS = 0x07DC
            If (CondRefOf (\XOSI, Local0))
            {
                If (XOSI ("Linux"))
                {
                    OSYS = 0x03E8
                }

So the original method I am renaming to XREG has the Arg1 ECFL will this cause any issue since this will be ignored now in Native DSDT after the method is renamed to XREG.

 

        Method (_REG, 2, NotSerialized)  // _REG: Region Availability
            {
                If ((Arg0 == 0x03))
                {
                    ECFL = Arg1
                }
            }

            Name (WBTS, One)

 

I see only 1 ACPI error preventing the SSDT from loading _WAK and if I comment out this portion in the SSDT then I get an _INI ACPI ERROR see below.

So I commented out the _WAK code to see if I can get rid of the ACPI ERROR and now I get the ACPI _INI error instead:
