So to start, we'll need to get a copy of your DSDT from your firmware. The easiest way is grabbing the DSDT.aml SSDTTime dumped for us earlier but here are some other options:
**From Windows**:
* [SSDTTime](https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime)
* Supports both Windows and Linux for DSDT dumping
* `4. Dump DSDT - Automatically dump the system DSDT`
* [MaciASL](https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL/releases)
* Open the app on the target machine(must already be running macOS) and the system's DSDT will show, then File -> SaveAs `System DSDT`. Make sure the file format is ACPI Machine Language Binary(.AML), this will require the machine to be running macOS
* Do note that all ACPI patches from clover/OpenCore will be applied to the DSDT
* [acpidump.exe](https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/iasl-win-20180105.zip)
* In command prompt run `path/to/acpidump.exe -b -n DSDT -z`, this will dump your DSDT as a .dat file. Rename this to DSDT.aml
* Do note that all ACPI patches from clover/OpenCore will be applied to the DSDT with the above 2 methods
**From Linux**:
* [SSDTTime](https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime)
* Supports both Windows and Linux for DSDT dumping
* `4. Dump DSDT - Automatically dump the system DSDT`
* Do note that all ACPI patches from clover/OpenCore will be applied to the DSDT with the above method
**From Clover**:
For those with Clover installed previously, this is a simple way to get your ACPI tables:
* F4 in Clover Boot menu
* DSDT can be found in `EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin`, the folder **must** exist before dumping
* [`acpidump.efi`](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/tree/master/extra-files/acpidump.efi.zip)
* Add this to `EFI/OC/Tools` and in your config under `Misc -> Tools` with the argument: `-b -n DSDT -z` and select this option in OpenCore's picker. Rename the DSDT.dat to DSDT.aml. Tool is provided by [acpica](https://github.com/acpica/acpica/tree/master/source/tools/acpidump)
If OpenCore is having issues running acpidump, you can call it from the shell with [OpenShell](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases)(reminder to add to both `EFI/OC/Tools` and in your config under `Misc -> Tools` ):
**From OpenCore**:
```text
shell> fs0: // replace with proper drive
With OpenCore 0.5.9, we have a new quirk called SysReport which will actually dump our DSDT automatically when hitting the boot screen. The main issues are:
fs0:\> dir // to verify this is the right directory
* You already need a bootable OpenCore USB to get this dump
* This also requires a DEBUG version of 0.5.9
Directory of fs0:\
For the latter, you just need to replace the following files with [DEBUG version](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases):
01/01/01 3:30p EFI
* EFI/BOOT/
* `BOOTx64.efi`
* EFI/OC/Bootstrap/
* `Bootstrap.efi`
* EFI/OC/Drivers/
* `OpenRuntime.efi`
* EFI/OC/
* `OpenCore.efi`
fs0:\> cd EFI\OC\Tools
For the former, you can actually skip the ACPI section, return to the OpenCore guide([Desktop](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/), [Laptop](https://dortania.github.io/vanilla-laptop-guide/)) and finish making the USB. Once booted to the picker, you can shut off the PC and check your USB:

And voila! You have a DSDT! Now you can continue on with making SSDTs
fs0:\EFI\OC\Tools> acpidump.efi -b -n DSDT -z
```
