OC-Little Translated is a collection of ACPI hotpatches, binary renames, and guides for OpenCore, translated from Daliansky's OC-Little. It complements Dortania's OpenCore Guides and covers topics like ACPI basics, device enabling, USB mapping, graphics fixes, and more. While tailored for OpenCore, most SSDTs and techniques are applicable to Clover as well.

๐ซ Not an Installation Guide
This is not a macOS installation guide. For setting up macOS, use the OpenCore Install Guide. OC-Little focuses on post-install tuning and hardware enablement.

โ ACPI-Compliant Methods Only
This project avoids DSDT patching and other invasive mods. It adheres to the philosophy of a clean, vanilla Hackintosh using only ACPI hotpatching. For more on this philosophy, see this InsanelyMac thread.
- Translation Process: Uses AI-based tools (DeepL, Google Translate) with manual copyediting for accuracy.
- Restructuring: Organized the repo into logical sections based on issue types, components, and methods.
- Improvements: Rewritten confusing sections (e.g., ACPI, USB Port Mapping), added missing descriptions, and included new content (e.g., USB Port Mapping via ACPI, Chapters 7โ14, and the Appendix).
- Accuracy Note: As the translator does not speak Chinese, minor inaccuracies may exist.
