Well, I'm back working on the Proart system and as you mentioned the BRG0 section of the all in one SSDT is conflicting with the GPU bridge file.

use SSDT Chip-800 with NootRX.kext. Remove whatevergreen.

NootRX.kext.zip

SSDT with no video device

If u want stay with whatevergreen just use this patch device properties.

Default video device on chipset serie 800 is RP01.PXSX... _ADR @6 into PC00.

You're doing nothing wrong. We use the deprecated Processor() declaration because we have to for macOS and get warnings (yellow sign) about lines 80-103, but not errors (red sign).

Dang, I didn't realize it should have compiled with those warnings. I wish there was an Editing SSDTs (r whatever) for Dummies Guide.

spakk · June 2, 2025

I’ve revised both versions and added the missing elements, such as the language setting and the functions from the Etorix code. It should work now.
Please check whether the final result meets your expectations.

I wasn’t able to test the Mac version because I don’t have a Mac with me at the moment.
But it should work, the difference from the Windows version is only minor.

DSDT-Analysis-Tool-Win_Lang.zip DSDT-Analysis-Tool_macOS-Linux_Lang.zip

I have integrated the following languages:

Arabic
German
English
Spanish
French
Italian
Japanese
Polish
Russian
Thai
Turkish
Chinese

Edit:

I’m aware that Python can cause some issues on Windows and is often blocked by antivirus or firewall software.
I use Comodo Antivirus and Firewall, and the file DSDT-Analysis-Tool-Win.py is frequently blocked by Comodo.

To ensure the program runs correctly, you need to manually set the file as “Trusted” in the File Rating section.

After that, you can start the tool via the command line using the following command:

```
python DSDT-Analysis-Tool-Win.py
```
Then press Enter to run the command.

The tool works!
I’m currently working on further development. The goal is to enable the tool to insert various patches in the future to allow targeted modification of the DSDT.

The Proart board is the more problematic of the two, the MSI board with the updates from @MaLd0nis now working better than it ever has. I honestly don't know what _STA is or used for.

Here is a simple and complete explanation of _STA that I found , which explains it very clearly:

What is `_STA`?

_STA is an ACPI method that tells the operating system the status of a device.

What does `_STA` return?

It returns a bitmask value (a number between `0x00` and `0x1F`, or 0 to 31). Each bit has a meaning:

| Bit | Hex Value | Meaning |
| --- | --------- | ------------------------------ |
| 0 | 0x01 | Device is present (powered on) |
| 1 | 0x02 | Device is enabled/working |
| 2 | 0x04 | Device can wake the system |
| 3 | 0x08 | Device is visible to the OS |
| 4 | 0x10 | Device is a boot device |

Common values

* `0x0F` (15) → Most common → device is present, enabled, visible, can wake
* `0x00` (0) → Device is hidden (not present)
* `0x0D` (13) → Present, visible, cannot wake
* `0x0B` (11) → Present, visible, not enabled
* `0x10` (16) → Boot device only (rare)

Why is `_STA` important?

* Controls whether a device appears to the operating system
* Can be used to disable or hide devices (e.g. in SSDT patches)
* Helps avoid hardware conflicts
* Used in Hackintosh setups to hide things like embedded controllers (EC)

What if `_STA` is missing?

If a device has no `_STA` method, the system assumes:

* The device is fully available
* Value is assumed to be `0x0F` (present, working, visible, etc.)

So, if you want to hide or disable a device, you must define `_STA`.

Can `_STA` be dynamic?

Example:

Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
{
    If (SomeCondition)
    {
        Return (0x00) // Device hidden
    }
    Else
    {
        Return (0x0F) // Device active
    }
}

This lets you enable or disable a device depending on a condition.

Summary

* `_STA` tells the system if a device is available, active, or hidden
* `0x0F` = fully active
* `0x00` = hidden
* Without `_STA`, it's assumed to be active
* Often used in **SSDT patches** to control device visibility

I’ll upload the revised tool here tomorrow. It’s time to go to 🛏️ now.

spakk · June 5, 2025

Here are the updated tools:

for Windows: DSDT-Analysis-Tool-Win.zip

for macOS / Linux: DSDT-Analysis-Tool-macOS-Linux.zip

language:

Spoiler

ar = Arabic
de = German
en = English
es = Spanish
fr = French
it = Italian
ja = Japanese
po = Polish (the correct code is actually "pl")
pt-BR = Portuguese (Brazil)
pt-PT = Portuguese (Portugal)
ru = Russian
th = Thai
tr = Turkish
zh = Chinese (Mandarin)

I just realized now that I entered the country code for Polish incorrectly, it should be pl instead of po. But it doesn’t really matter; anyone can easily change it themselves.

When I enter "brew install python gettext iasl", I get this error in return:

Spoiler

Here's the information:

Clarification:

You probably meant`iasl`, which is the **Intel ACPI Compiler/Decompiler** used for working with DSDT/SSDT files.
* `isl` is something completely different – it stands for Integer Set Library and is unrelated to ACPI or DSDT analysis.

If you're analyzing DSDTs/SSDTs, you need `iasl`, not `isl`.

On macOS, you can correctly install `iasl` via the Terminal as follows:

How to install iasl on macOS:

1. If you already have Homebrew:

bash
brew install iasl

2. If you don’t have Homebrew yet:

Install it with:

bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then run again:

bash
brew install iasl

Verify the installation:

bash
iasl -v

If you see something like `iasl version 20240322`, the installation was successful.

Summary:

| Term | Meaning | Relevant for DSDT tools? |
| -------- | ------------------- | ------------------------ |
| iasl | Intel ACPI Compiler | Yes, essential |
| isl | Integer Set Library | No, not relevant |

brew actually seeks to install the graphical application MaciASL. If you already have MaciASL installed, you have iasl… hidden somewhere.

Type either:

ln /Applications/MaciASL.app/Contents/MacOS/iasl-stable /usr/local/sbin/iasl

or

ln -s /Applications/MaciASL.app/Contents/MacOS/iasl-stable /usr/local/sbin/iasl

(first option will survive deinstalling MaciASL, but won't update; second option will update with MaciASL, but won't survive removal)

and then you can use DSDT-Analysis-Tool.

Does it make sense, and is there any interest, if I create a patches.xml from the OpenCore-Patch.txt that can be directly inserted into the config.plist when needed?

Below is a sample template from my DSDT-generated OpenCore-Patch.txt, which I have automatically converted into a patches.xml.

Is there a need for this? Or are there other features you would like to see integrated into this small tool? Feel free to share your suggestions!

OpenCore-Patch txt to patches xml.zip

etorix · June 6, 2025

For direct insertion, the file would best be a proper .plist, which could be opened directly in a plist editor.

But I do not understand the proposed patches and what you want to achieve. To take just the first one, broadly replacing PCI0 by XPCI0 violates the ACPI specification 😱 , has no obvious purpose for me (\_SB.PCI0 unconditionally exists) and even a legal rename is most likely to break a lot of things downwards.

I don't think your issue is in the scope of this topic, for now as the OP stated previously this topic is dedicated to the 800 series mainboards, but If you use Hackintool to correctly map your USB ports and generate the SSDTs and the USBPorts.kext your issue will be resolved.

Hi @STLVNUB how are you going? I'm not sure about your hardware, but it seems to be a laptop like my Lenovo T14 with some PCie hardware, including Thunderbolt. I managed to map it with two kexts, one USBToolbox + USBMap and the other USBports. Both are separate because I created the USB-C and Thunderbolt ports in Windows, with some SSDT patches needed for the Thunderbolt hardware. I also use battery patches to override sleep and the start of Thunderbolt. Another important thing, I managed to formalize (create) an SSDT with EC properties that dispense with the ECEnabler kext (with all due respect to the creator's help). But Sleep works very well with them. And I also created two more SSDTS of my own to fix deep Sleep and wakeup, everything works. I saw that you added some patches to your DSDT as well. Your DSDT is very similar to mine. You may still need the IOElectrify.kext, VoltageShift.kext and some trackpad kexts, if it is I2C, you may need the VoodoI2C, VoodooI2CHID set, in addition to the basic VoodooPS2, VoodooRMI and VoodooSMBUS.

My EFIs maybe help you.

I would take another look at your patches @spakk:
- PCI0 -> XPCI0 isn't a valid patch - ACPI names are limited up to four characters (and are always padded out to four characters using underscores).
- I think the original script from @etorix checked for brackets (and depth) - it may be worth copying that logic over as some of these results look a little suspect. Any references to Argx/Localx is likely to be within a method which I don't think you want to patch. I saw a couple of those in the output from @surenmunoo.
