Description Adrien Plazas 2017-02-10 11:50:53 UTC 
Games should support the Libretro core Descriptor format specified here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Playground/Games/LibretroCores/DescriptorSpec

It should also deprecate any older format like the .info descriptor format from RetroArch's libretro-super repository.

Use RetroCoreSource

Use RetroCoreSource in the plugins and in RetroRunner.

This allows to use the Libretro Core Descriptor format for Games instead
of the previously used core descriptor format.
