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

To get the SSDT-EC on desktops, run the following:

• 7. Dump DSDT then run 2. FakeEC

To get the SSDT-EC on laptops, run the following:

• 7. Dump DSDT then run 3. FakeEC Laptop

This will provide you with some files, the main one you care about is SSDT-EC.aml. The DSDT and .dsl are only left for referencing or verification.

The main things to note with this method:

• Doesn't provide you the USBX property to fix power
  • This can easily be fixed by using this prebuilt file in addition to SSDT-EC: SSDT-USBX.aml (opens new window)

• 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
