Just replace the SSDT in the E7470 with E7270 from my Ventura guide

Well, I guess this brings me to a question I've always sort of wondered about. Everything I've ever read about Hackintoshes always seems very "trial and error". I get that maybe for absolute beginners that could be a good approach when stuff doesn't work, but shouldn't there be ways of debugging or deriving the correct solutions a bit more analytically? Or do we really not know how Apple's black box works? For example, if there's a hang during boot because of graphics could we not use the debugging output of WEG / Lilu etc to figure out what it's not happy about? I've seen bits of that in the logs - like figuring out what Link Rates are available and whether those need to be adjusted. Or what WEG thinks of the *actual* framebuffer / device ID. Or, how to check what the actual allocated DVMT is. In-depth technical information about stuff like this is few and far between, and I sometimes wonder why... Any ideas? R
