ReadMe for DSDT Patcher GUI by PCWiz Computer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Copyright 2008 PCWiz Computer. Application (GUI) programmed by PCWiz Computer. Thanks to fassl for the DSDT Patcher, mackerintel for Chameleon w/ DSDT override, zef and the Chameleon team for Chameleon, and netkas for PC_EFI v9

DSDT Patcher GUI uses fassl's amazing DSDT Patcher to make a patched DSDT and optionally apply it to a selected hard drive. A patched DSDT is required to use Mac OS X 10.5.6 and above on a PC. To be able to use a patched DSDT generated by the DSDT Patcher you need a bootloader that has DSDT override enabled. In the Tools folder, you can install Bootloader.pkg which contains PC_EFI v9 Chameleon 1.0.12 which supports DSD T override. Thanks to Kalyway for the package and weaksauce12 for the customizations.

Using the GUI is easy. Open it, choose an OS. Most likely this will be Darwin/Mac OS X. Choose your options. If you want it to force compile even with errors then tick that checkbox. Choose newHPET option to generate a fixed HPET (needed for some motherboards). If you want to apply the DSDT, choose the Apply To checkbox and select your hard drive from the drop down menu.

Once you are done click the Run button and it will quickly generate your DSDT and apply it (if you chose to). The generated files and log for each session are available in the Sessions/<your session string> folder. The session string and full path is given at the end of the build.

Thanks for using DSDT Patcher GUI!
