# RetroUFO
|
|
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLGoKxh8Aq4)

|
[](https://www.python.org/downloads/) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) [](https://pypi.org/project/RetroUFO/)
|
|
|
|
A ~~messy~~ Python script that grabs the latest version of every libretro core from the [build bot](https://buildbot.libretro.com/).
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
The package can be installed via pip:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m pip install --user RetroUFO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage-CLI
|
|
|
|
Just run the script from the terminal:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
RetroUFO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will then download and extract all the latest versions of each core to their default location based on `retroarch.default.cfg` for each platform
|
|
_(Which is only Linux, macOS, & Windows for right now)_
|
|
|
|
If you are more of a advance user, and want to do things a bit more manually, you can view all the scripts arguments by:
|
|
```bash
|
|
RetroUFO --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage-GUI
|
|
|
|
The GUI script uses [Qt for Python](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python) ([PySide2](https://pypi.org/project/PySide2/)). So you can make sure you have that package installed if you plan to run the script manually:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m pip install --user PySide2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that you can just run the script like so:
|
|
```bash
|
|
RetroUFO-GUI
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then just click the `Grab Cores` button at the bottom and then you should be all set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you would like to grab cores for a different platform or architecture you can override which supported cores it grabs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have your core directory set somewhere special you can override where the cores extract to.
