MP 1,1-5,1 testing TB3 AIC with MP 5,1

[VaZ]

Anybody know if 'Alt Display mode' + GC Titan Ridge rev 2.0 AIC flashed with v23 in Slot-4 works with USB-C hubs with HDMI/mDP/DP ?
I tried 3 types of hubs and couldn't get anything displaying.
Also tried DisplayLink but didn't find any of my devices.

Also is v23 firmware the best to use or the AppleimacTB firmware?
PS - System prefs / Thunderbolt shows GIGABYTE 20Gbps x2 in HS up to Sonoma, but in Sequoia it finally shows 40Gbps x1. Is this normal?

I had to update to Monterey, its the Apollo Software minimum requirement unless I use the old version from 2020. I got to work that the Apollo works.

I used Legacy Open Core first, but thunderbolt would not work, and ended up installing the Martin LO package, and the root patch from Legacy Open Core.
With that both TB3 ports work, but no hot plugging, if hot plugged the cMP shuts down, restarts and tells me after restarting, on a black screen, shut down because of a problem.
USB ports on the Mac is not working, weird is, that the USB ports on the 30" Cinema display work, since it is plugged in to one of the USB ports in the rear.
Not sure why, it might be because its active.
coll would be to the the other USB Ports working.
There is no Wifi or Bluetooth, I dont need it, I go by cable.
Otherwise it runs stable.

I didnt check out yet if there is any possibility in open core legacy patcher, to add the TR card SSDT to their system.

If someone knows if that is possible or not woukld be great.

USB ports on the Mac is not working

They work if you connect a USB 2.0 hub or a USB 2.0 device. A mouse or keyboard by itself might be USB 1.1 which is no longer working in later macOS versions. You need to connect USB 1.1 devices to a USB 2.0 hub to force the USB ports into USB 2.0 mode.

I'll test out and see what happens today with a mDP input feed and see if that gives me an image on my hubs.

The keyboard is Apple, flat alu cable, the Trackpad is from around 2020, the display has FW400
and ids older than the 5.1 which has FW800.
No big deal I dont need more than 2 for now =)

Could not figure out hot plug yet, as soon as a TB3, device is hot plugged, the cMP crashes,
a USB 3.1 SSD doesent crash it. Pins 3 and 5 are shorted. What I didnt do yet, is removing the Zero Ω resistor.

I had a look at the Legacy Open Core config.plist.
Looks like, before any SSDT´s, or hacks, there is something which looks like code.I did try to add the SSDT-TBOLT3.aml, but it didnt load, it probably has to be integrated in a certain way.
