I’m running RetroArch on a few Fedora computers. At least at the time that I set it up a few months ago there weren’t any packages for it, so I just compiled it from Git. What’s the best way to update this install? Additionally, now that RetroArch can update itself and Cores from within itself, is there anything I need to watch out for?
Libretro-super is a good way to compile everything, but you can also just compile RA and then use the built-in updater to grab everything.
So just a make clean, and then follow this page? https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/Compilation-guide-(Linux)
Yeah, make clean, ./configure, make, sudo make install.
What do you do if you just want to build Retroarch and one or two cores, without downloading or building the rest?
You can pass arguments to libretro-super, like fetch $, build $, etc., but I usually just clone the the individual repos separately and build them on their own in that case. Other than the arcade cores, most cores are just ‘make’ or ‘make -f Makefile.libretro’ as the case may be.
I can go to https://github.com/libretro and see some repositories, but how do I find the most recent stable version of a core? Or do the cores not come in stable versions?
