If SMBIOS is changed, does this affect the USB Port mapping?

Hi, thanks for the latest release. Everything is working for me except for USB 3.0 ports. I set the SMBIOS to MacPro7,1 because it fixes DRM playback issues. Does a different SMBIOS change the USBPorts.kext no longer function?

SMBIOS and USBPorts.kext, no direct relationship between them.

check USB ports in Hackintool

SMBIOS has a direct relationship to USBPorts.kext. As You can see in the embedded Info.plist file, the SMBIOS is part of the USBPorts.kext:

So if You change the SMBIOS, You have to change the IOKitPersonalities also to the new SMBIOS. In this case you have to change iMac19,1-XHC to MacPro7,1-XHC.
