Core updates

Is there a better option in updating core dlls than manually downloading each one in the Phoenix update utility?

As of right now the update method I have been using is to download each one that I use, then update the config for that system to point to the new dll.

I suppose a symlink to the dll for each system would be better than having to update the config files, but then symlinks would have to be updated every time.

Suggestions definitely welcome.

you could build them yourself, then they always maintain the same name. Or you can download them directly from the index http://themaister.net/retroarch-dl/ and just remove the date part from each file using wget or some bulk renaming software. This is assuming I am understanding you question correctly and that you have each core manually identified in your config for each system. Just to be clear though you are aware of rgui (f1 during gameplay) and its functionality correct? There shouldn’t have to be any messing with the config just to change cores or even update them as long as your using rgui.

A nice chap has been building Win64 cores and uploading them here.

Thanks, I’ll check out the link.

I wasn’t aware of RGUI updating cores. I knew it could change cores. Knowing where to find the DLLs is helpful, a wget script would be easy enough to implement.

Thanks for the help.

you can’t update cores with RGUI

sorry your right, there is no updating with rgui. My last statement was poorly worded; however a wget script will most likely work very well with little effort. good luck
