Description Jesús Abelardo Saldívar Aguilar 2020-06-10 23:53:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

I downloaded a new core (Beetle PSX) using the core online updater.

Retroarch shows a message about core succesfully installed.

When I go to the "Load Core" screen, the new core doesn't show up. Even after
closing and opening retroarch, the new core never shows up.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):



1.8.8-1.fc32


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a new core from core updater
2. Try to load the new core
3. (It doesn't show up)

Actual results:

The newly downloaded core doesn't show up.

Expected results:


The newly downloaded core shows up and works correctly.

Additional info:



When I run retroarch from terminal emulator using '--verbose' flag, it displays
an error message when I download the core:

[ERROR] Download of '/usr/lib64/libretro/mednafen_psx_libretro.so.zip' failed: Write failed.

So, retroarch is trying to write the downloaded file to the system folder
/usr/lib64 whitout permissions instead of a local folder like
/.config/retroarch/cores

You need to change dir for cores as well:

Settings -> Directories -> Core

Comment 3 Artem 2021-10-02 09:26:44 UTC 
Since retroarch-1.9.9-3 there is more convenient way to enable network access and downloading more cores. To download and install more libretro cores please read included README.Fedora file:

  $ xdg-open /usr/share/doc/retroarch/README.fedora.md
