# Fixing Trackpads: SSDTTime Method

This method involves using SSDTTime which automates most of the process. See here on how to use it: SSDTs: Easy Way

To begin, you must have a valid DSDT.aml dump. If you do not, you will have to run SSDTTime in either Windows or Linux booted outside of OpenCore or with the debug version of OpenCore, utilizing the SysReport quirk. Once you have your DSDT.aml file, follow these steps:

  • Select A. XOSI, then either the earliest version of Windows your system shipped with, or choose the Auto option.

Once done, SSDTTime will create several files inside its Results folder. A SSDT-XOSI.aml, SSDT-XOSI.dsl and two plist files: patches_OC.plist and patches_Clover.plist.

The patches_OC(Clover).plist file contains the necessary patch required for your SSDT-XOSI.aml to function, so it must not be skipped.

The main things to note with this method:

  • Doesn't really teach you anything
    • For most, this doesn't matter. But to some knowing what makes your hackintosh tick is part of the journey
  • Can only make SSDT-XOSI
    • If you need SSDT-GPI0, then you still need to make it manually.
