https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/14_OCLP_Wintel/Guides/Fetching_OCLP_Kexts.md

Locations

Old location:
/OCAuxiliaryTools.app/Contents/MacOS/Database/preset/KextUrl.txt

Recent location:
/Users/username/.ocat/Database/preset/KextUrl.txt

Current new Location:
/Users/username/.config/OCAuxiliaryTools/KextUrl.txt

Links

Links that do not work: (I only tested these)

I think OCAuxiliaryTools looks for a Github Release with that kext, not the zip file:

  1. I chose to use the KextUrl location inside the app because the user section does not have a preset folder for DEV mode (devDatabase ). The devDatabase is used when downloading nightly builds of OpenCore and kexts. The kexturl file in the app is globally used for both modes (normal/dev) , that's why the guide refers to that
  2. I think the .config folder this is a temporary location. In my case it only contains 3 .ini files (in macOS)
  3. The kexts from OpenCore Legacy patcher will be fetched if the link is in the kexturl file inside the app. But the app has to be restarted after adding links to the list.
  4. Example: AMFIPass.kext:
  • Without the AMFIPass.kext | https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher entry, the entry has a gray square, indicating that the kext can't be found:
    gray
  • With the AMFIPass.kext | https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher entry, the entry becomes green, since it can be found and compared:
    green
