digital farmer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi Conti I'd like to learn a bit about creating my own DSDT. My knowledge abut DSDT is minimal. But in my OS X I have my self-created DSDT (I put it in my /Extra folder). So far I have no problem, but I'm afraid if my method were wrong. I created my own DSDT with this steps I get from the net: #I used "DSDT Editor for Windows/Linux" that I downloaded from http://olarila.com/dsdt/DSDTEditor_Linux_Windows.zip I made mine in my Windows XP. #I used my motherboard's specific patch (Asus P5KPL-SE) I get from http://olarila.com/forum/packs.php put it on my desktop for easy access. #I Opened the "DSDT editor" and on the menu bar click 'File' then 'Extract DSDT'. #On the menu bar, I pressed 'Patch' and then 'Open'. I navigated to my desktop and select the my motherboard specific patch. I Clicked 'Open'. #I also did that steps for my ALC662 specific patch. #I pressed 'Apply' in the little window that opened after that step. Then I clicked 'Close'. #On the menu bar, I pressed 'IASL', then 'Compile'. A box opened, where I pressed 'Fix Errors'. when 0 errors listed, I closed the box. #On the menu bar, I pressed 'IASL', then 'Save AML As'. and I 'Save As' ''DSDT.AML' That's the way I got my DSDL. Is that right/wrong way? (I'm afraid it's wrong). If it's wrong, what is the right way for me to make my own DSDT? Thanks a lot in advance and I'm sorry for my noobishness P.S.: (I tried to attach my DSDT file, but can't. How can I do that here - (when editing my post) ?)

digital farmer Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just read (bit too late) JaS' thread about "How to dump your ioregistry from the terminal", so I thought maybe it's a good thing if I attach my ioreg file (??) Sorry again for total 'noobishness' & this kind of 'double post' digitalfarmer.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conti Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My 2cents: I wouldn't consider this the 'right' way personally, I am working on something that may at least make this a little simpler to get started with that will be released with the next version of myHack/myFix. A shortcut you may want to try is DSDTSE, this is one of the few applications for dsdt editing on hackintosh that I would endorse, albiet unfinished in it's current form it is reasonably useful. Keep in mind when extracting dsdt information on a hackintosh that you want to boot the system without a dsdt in place and with minimal kernel extensions to get the correct information out of it. Otherwise I would suggest the linux extraction method, although it is rather complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply Conti #Actually that DSDTSE app you mention is one of few option that I downloaded before I chose the steps I mention in my first post instead. #Yes I understand about extract DSDT in a hackintosh without DSDT & minimal kext to get the correct information. That's why I extracted my DSDT in my Windows XP instead. Sadly, I don't have any Linux nor experience with it. #I'll be waiting for the next version of myHack/myFix Thank You Verymuch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital farmer Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi Conti, it's me again.. Today I open EVOSX86's DSDTSE app with the intention to learn how to create my own DSDT with it. But I don't know what to do with it. Try googling but didn't find any (written) clear instruction/guide/tutorial about it. The clearest one is this famous video on youtube: , but I can't understand it. Would you please please teach me how? Big Thanks in advance.
