Retroarch: "No entries to display" in Core Downloader

Fresh build of Arch

I have enabled the Core Updater through the config file and gone to install some cores directly through retroarch.

It shows a gear icon with "No Entries to Display"

I have installed retroarch on android and the cores are all there, so it's definitely something wrong with my setup.

I have changed the DNS servers to google as was suggested by another retro user, also I don't have a firewall up or a VPN.

EDIT: this does not solve the issue but shows experimental cores.

core_updater_show_experimental_true = "true"

Please update that as a standard installation config option.

Do you have libretro cores from community/aur installed AND downloaded cores ?

Check the note in the colored box at the end RetroArch configuration section

I have this same problem.

What I found was that the asset locations, cores, and core information are in the global system, but when I try to update these things, retroarch never asks me for the system password. So I assumed that the files weren't updated.

I solved the problem by changes all the locations of contents that retroarch stores in the global system to locations in the user scope like '~/.local/share' and '~/.local/lib' in the Directory settings
