OC-Little: ACPI Hotpatch Samples and Guides for OpenCore
:-22.06.01-blueviolet.svg){kind=icon}
ABOUT
Compendium of ACPI Hotpatches and Binary Renames for use with the OpenCore Boot Manager based on OC-Little by Daliansky translated from Chinese. All Binary Renames, ACPI Hotpatches (containing OCLTin the table header) remain untouched except where indicated.
This repo provides additional ACPI hotpatches and guides complementary to the ones provided by the OpenCore Package and Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide. It covers all angles of modern hackintoshing. From adding and enabling devices and features, fixing USB and Sleep issues, laptop-specific fixes, GPU optimizations and more (check the TOC for details). Although aimed primarily at OpenCore users, all of the SSDTs and most of the guides/techniques can be applied using the Clover Boot Manager as well.

About the translation
- AI-based translation using deepL, google translator as well as manual copyediting.
- Restructured the repository into more plausible (sub-)sections and categories based on types of issues, components, methods, etc.
- Restructured Texts for better readability and comprehensibility
- Rewrote whole sections which were confusing/misleading (
ACPIandUSB Port Mappingfor example) - Added missing descriptions
- Added further explanations where necessary
- Added new content (USB Port Mapping via ACPI to Chapter 3, Chapters 7 to 10 and the whole Appendix section)
NOTE: Due to the fact that I don't speak Chinese the translation might not be 100% accurate.
