|
A ~~messy~~ Python script that grabs the latest version of every libretro core from the [build bot](https://buildbot.libretro.com/).
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
### Usage-CLI
|
|
|
|
Just run the script with _Python 3_:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 ./RetroUFO.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 & 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
|
|
python3 ./RetroUFO.py --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 by running:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip3 install --user PySide2
|
|
```
|
|
After that you can just run the script like so:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 ./RetroUFO_GUI.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.
