wyzrd Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) User on Libretro Forums found a bug. I replaced the same download with a v0.8.4.1 hotfix. https://forums.libretro.com/t/i-made-a-nightly-updater-program/5617/77 RA+Cores was not downloading RetroArch if Cores were already up to date. v0.8.4.2 - Further Improved Accuracy Edited August 5, 2017 by wyzrd 1 Quote
dragon57 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 This new v0.8.4 beta version crashes on my Win7 laptop, whereas the v0.8.3 beta version does not. I don't know what to tell you since I don't see a log file. Please let me know what I can do to help debug it. Quote

If that doesn't fix it, I will have to add some error checks that display a message so we can identify where the problem is. I will have to get to it tomorrow, Im away from my PC. Quote

neil9000 Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Hi @wyzrd I'm having some issues with the latest version also. Whenever i try to update RA+Cores i get a "cannot connect to server" error, when i close that error it is followed with a "could not find download" error, see attached shot's. If i just run the update "Cores" option i also get the "cannot connect to server" error but upon closing the error the cores appear to download just fine. So i'm not sure what is happening here, but thought i should let you know. Also this is on the latest Windows 10 64bit. Quote
wyzrd Posted August 8, 2017 Author Posted August 8, 2017 @dragon57 @neil9000 I've identified the crash and replaced the download with a fixed version. The Buildbot Date List was going out of range when it checked for mismatched cores. The "Cannot connect to sever" error only happens if the scanned url returns empty. It connects to the hidden index-extended file in the Buildbot directory. I will look into this. I will work on v0.8.5 and redesign so no more errors will occur. 1 Quote
dragon57 Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks for the update! I do get an error when I select just cores in the drop-down. The error says it can't connect to server. Afterward the app seems to do something, but I'm not sure what. Quote
wyzrd Posted August 10, 2017 Author Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Update 0.8.5 https://github.com/StellarUpdater/Stellar/releases/tag/v0.8.5-beta The last release was broken, thanks all for the reports. I've redesigned half of the program and how Core comparison works. I've tested on both Windows 10 and 7, it appears to fetch the correct RetroArch and Cores. It accounts for whether there are Unknown or Missing Cores, and if either the PC or Buildbot List is larger than the other. It also double checks until both Lists Dates are in sync, and I've placed Error messages throughout the program. If some Cores continue to reappear after updating, it may be because of the PC/Server time zones. If anyone can find out what time zone the Server is. It's still in beta, as there may be configurations I've not tested, let me know if this has solved the problems. Change Log Redesigned Core Comparison Improved Accuracy Fixed Crashes Notes If program starts with a white background, go to Configure → Clear Saved, restart program. If program crashes or cores not synced, go to C:\Users\[Your Name]\AppData\Local\Stellar and delete the old configs. If you receive "Error: Cannot connect to Server", try a few times, it may have failed to download the cores list. If certain cores are throwing the updater out of sync, delete them and use "New Cores" option to download a new version. Menu Options New Install - Installs RetroArch, Redistributables, & Cores. Replaces Configs with default. Upgrade - Upgrades RetroArch to the latest version, including Redistributables and Configs. RetroArch - Updates RetroArch to the latest version, excluding Redistributables and Configs. RA + Cores - Updates RetroArch and currently installed Cores. Cores - Updates currently installed Cores. New Cores - Installs Cores that are newly releseased or missing from your current install. Redist - Installs Redistributables. Helpful if RetroArch won't start after update. @Retro808 @Mizar @JamesBaker @Rincewind @dragon57 @neil9000 Edited August 10, 2017 by wyzrd 2 2 Quote

wyzrd Posted August 10, 2017 Author Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) @dragon57 @ALIE @neil9000 User on Libretro Forums found a small correction to make. It's downloading the earliest RetroArch date on the list. Since I redesigned, I've now change the code First() to Last() and patched the download. Sorry bout that.

wyzrd Posted August 10, 2017 Author Posted August 10, 2017 The next feature I will try to add is a self-update option, so you no longer have to download manually. Quote

The_Keeper86 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Love this app thanks for creating it! Would it be possible to make a similar app for PCSX2 and Dolphin? Quote
shadowblind Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Error when trying to update. "Buildbot may be offline." Quote
