RetroUFO
A messy Python script that grabs the latest version of every libretro core from the build bot.
Installation
The package can be installed via pip:
python -m pip install --user RetroUFO
Usage-CLI
Just run the script with Python 3:
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:
RetroUFO --help
Usage-GUI
The GUI script uses Qt for Python (PySide2). So you can make sure you have that package installed by running if you plan to run the script manually:
python -m pip install --user PySide2
After that you can just run the script like so:
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.
