Which Game Cores gave you the most success?

I’ve been running up against some cores working, some not, some completely taking down the service. Just wondering which cores you’ve all used and had the best success with. Putting all extra core features aside and just focusing on plex stability

we’re working on making a pinned thread with recs that hopefully the community can help contribute to, as there are … a lot of them :grimacing:

I would suggest just embedding the working ones and allowing us some simple dropdowns from within Plex Settings to switch between them. I’m presuming that you will be integrating these into Plex at some point in the future.

Yea this should be the answer. Plex has always been the “It just works” service. You supply the media they supply the rest. The core management feels like it goes against what Plex stands for.

One core will not rule them all. I’ve found that over the years I have found some cores to work well with some games. Many in the community have their favs, and have setups that pair collections of games with collections of cores.

I would like a feature where a can configure a core per library per platform. For example, I’d end up with something like

Library: Mame 2003
Platform: Arcade, Core: mame2003_dylib
Folder: /your/path/here

Library: Mame 2003 Plus
Platform: Arcade, Core: mame2003_plus_dylib
Folder: /your/path/here

Library: FB Neo
Platform: Arcade, Core: fbneo_dylib
Folder: /your/path/here

Right now, I’ve just written a script to change cores, and this weekend I am just going to wire up an iOS IFTTT button for my Today Screen/Widet to change the core. The core change however is global, not library specific.

Exactly this, I’m ecstatic about this feature, but it being a payed feature yet so obtuse is a bit disappointing. If it must be XML mapped and cores downloaded there needs to be a script made to do so. Obviously everyone’s hardware is going to be different, but the way libretro works the ones that work within plex should work for most users. I’ve been emulating for 10 years for ten years and I feel like this and the early retroarch releases are the only times I thought the effort isn’t worth it.
