A USB mapping tool for building custom USB injector kexts for Hackintosh systems, supporting both Windows and macOS. It discovers USB ports, lets users select and type them, and generates a kext for use with OpenCore.

Use cases

  • map usb ports for hackintosh
  • build custom usb injector kext
  • fix usb ports not working in macos
  • create usb map from windows
  • discover usb ports and companion ports
  • generate usbtoolbox kext for opencore

When to choose

  • mapping USB ports for a Hackintosh build, especially from Windows
  • you need companion port detection and port type guessing
  • you want a kext compatible with the USBToolBox kext or native Apple kexts

When to avoid

  • you must map from macOS and need port-limit handling - USBMap may be better
  • you need a fully documented, stable workflow - the tool is beta with limited guides
  • you are not setting up a Hackintosh or OpenCore system
