USBMapInjectorEdit.command Is it temporary to disable unuseful ports during mapping?

[oldman20]

what's about USBMapInjectorEdit.command? Is it temporary to disable unuseful ports? I can use USBMap/ USBMapLegacy/ USBMap Dummy depending which boot method, right?

And I don't understand much about S, C, L Option. Anyone can explain for me? Thank! I did like screenshot is properly?

Hey there - as I mentioned in the other issue:

Correct - it just gives you a quick, cross platform way to edit the injector. It makes it easy to toggle ports on or off within an existing injector (like the dummy USBMap.kext).

I also added the ability for it to change types, add nicknames, etc - it's akin to a self-contained copy of the P. Edit & Create USBMap.kext option within USBMap's main menu which works by editing, and not creating a new injector kext.

But - as you've asked here, onto the current questions at hand:

I can use USBMap/ USBMapLegacy/ USBMap Dummy depending which boot method, right?

USBMap and USBMapLegacy just leverage different IOClasses. AFAIK USBMap will work, even on older OSes - but some may have better luck on pre-Catalina OSes with USBMapLegacy.

And I don't understand much about S, C, L Option. Anyone can explain for me? Thank!

The IOKitPersonalities within USBMap and USBMapLegacy are bound to a certain SMBIOS - if you change your SMBIOS and intend to reuse the same map - you need to change the SMBIOS targeted within the injector to match the target machine via the S option.

C changes all IOKitPersonalities to use the new AppleUSBHostMergeProperties IOClass- which is what USBMap.kext uses by default.

L changes all IOKitPersonalities to use the older AppleUSBMergeNub IOClass - which is what USBMapLegacy.kext uses by default.

You can still respond in the prior issue you had posted - I've just closed it is all.

Hopefully that answers your questions though?
