Just got back to trying to use my Gameshell. Having an issue with using the online updater for RetroArch to update config, cores etc… I just keep getting Task failed for every update I attempt. Surprisingly I’m not seeing that anyone else that has the same issue.

RetroArch version 1.8.8.  
Update URL’s in retroarch.cfg  
core\_updater\_buildbot\_url = “[http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/](http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/)”  
core\_updater\_buildbot\_assets\_url = “[http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/](http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/)”

Anything any of you has seen before?

Thanks in advance!!

I’m also getting this error. Is there a way to fix the issue. Thanks

I was able to update using these URL’s in the retroarch.cfg file.

core\_updater\_buildbot\_url = “[http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/](http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/)”  
core\_updater\_buildbot\_assets\_url = “[http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/](http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/)”

As a side, it might be worth updating the URL to  
“[http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/”](http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/%E2%80%9D)  
The CPI supports NEON instructions, so potentially you could get some cores built with compatible optimisations.
