+# SSDTs: The easy way
+
+So here we'll be using a super simple tool made by CorpNewt: [SSDTTime](https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime)
+
+What this tool does is dumps your DSDT from your firmware, and then creates SSDTs based off your DSDT. **This must be done on the target machine running either Windows or Linux**
+
+## So what **can't** SSDTTime do
+
+* **HEDT SSDTs**:
+  * The ACPI is odd on these platforms so manual work is required
+  * This includes X79, X99 and X299 systems
+  * Prebuilt can be found here: [Embedded Controller](/Universal/ec-fix.md)
+* **Laptop EC fix**:
+  * This is because you do not want the EC powered off
+  * Prebuilt can be found here: [Embedded Controller](/Universal/ec-fix.md)
+* **SSDT-PNLF**:
+  * Need to be configured to your system
+* **SSDT-GPI0**:
+  * Need to be configured to your system
+* **AWAC and RTC0 SSDTs**:
+  * 300 series Intel boards will also need to figure his out(Z390 systems are most common for requiring this but some Gigabyte Z370 do as well)
+* **PMC SSDT**:
+  * For fixing 300 series Intel NVRAM
+  * Prebuilt can be found here: [NVRAM PMC](/Universal/nvram.md)
+* **USBX SSDT**:
+  * This is included on sample SSDTs but SSDTTime only makes the SSDT-EC part, Skylake and newer users can grab a pre-built here: [SSDT-USBX.aml](https://github.com/dortania/USB-Map-Guide/blob/master/extra-files/SSDT-USBX.aml)
+
+For users who don't have all the options available to them in SSDTTime, you can follow the "SSDTs: The long way" section. You can still use SSDTTime for SSDTs it support for you.
+
+## Running SSDTTime
+
+Run the `SSDTTime.bat` file as Admin on the target machine and you should see something like this:
+
+![](/images/ssdt-easy-md/ssdttime.png)
+
+What are all these options?:
+
+* `1. FixHPET    - Patch out IRQ Conflicts`
+  * IRQ patching, mainly needed for X79, X99 and laptop users(use option `C` to omit conflicting legacy IRQs)
+* `2. FakeEC     - OS-aware Fake EC`
+  * This is the SSDT-EC, required for Catalina users
+* `3. PluginType - Sets plugin-type = 1 on CPU0/PR00`
+  * This is the SSDT-PLUG, for Intel only
+* `4. Dump DSDT  - Automatically dump the system DSDT`
+  * Dumps your DSDT from your firmware
+
+What we want to do is select option `4. Dump DSDT` first, then select the appropriate option(s) for your system.
+
+> What about USBX?
+
+For Skylake and newer plus AMD, you can grab a pre-built file here: [SSDT-USBX.aml](https://github.com/dortania/USB-Map-Guide/blob/master/extra-files/SSDT-USBX.aml). This file is plug and play and requires no device configuration, **do not use on Broadwell and older**.
+
+**Troubleshooting note**: See [General Troubleshooting](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html) if you're having issues running SSDTTime
+
+## Adding to OpenCore
+
+Don't forget that SSDTs need to be added to Opencore, reminder that .aml is complied, .dsl is code. **Add only the .aml file**:
+
+* EFI/OC/ACPI
+* config.plist -> ACPI -> Add
+
+Reminder that Cmd/Crtl+R with ProperTree pointed at your OC folder will add all your SSDTs, kexts and .efi drivers to the config for you. **Do not add your DSDT to OpenCore, its already in your firmware**. If you are unsure what this is referring to, go back to the OpenCore guide and select your config based of the architecture of your CPU.
+
+For those who do not yet have a config.plist, you'll want to next head back to your respective OpenCore guides and create the config.plist:
+
+* [OpenCore Desktop guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/)
+* [OpenCore Laptop Guide](https://dortania.github.io/vanilla-laptop-guide/)
+
+Users of `FixHPET` will also need to merge oc_patches.plist into their config.plist
+
+Steps to do this:
+
+* Open both files,
+* Delete the `ACPI -> Patch` section from config.plist
+* Copy the `ACPI -> Patch` section from patches.plist
+* Paste into where old patches were in config.plist
