+Cores alternatively can be downloaded with the online updater from the
+libretro buildbot instead of being compiled with slackbuilds. This will
+require the core directory to be writable and is incompatible with the
+libretro slackbuilds. The buildbot can be used with:
+
+ BUILDBOT=1 ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
+
+To change this after installing edit '~/.config/retroarch/retroarch'.
+
+To enable the buildbot:
+
+ menu_show_core_updater = "true"
+ libretro_directory = "~/.config/retroarch/cores"
+ libretro_info_path = "~/.config/retroarch/cores/info"
+
+The paths can be any user writable directory.
+
+or to use the slackbuilds:
+
+ menu_show_core_updater = "false"
+ libretro_directory = "/usr/lib/libretro"
+ libretro_info_path = "/usr/lib/libretro/info"
+
+For Slackware64 installs use 'lib64' instead of 'lib'.
+
+ libretro_directory = "/usr/lib64/libretro"
+ libretro_info_path = "/usr/lib64/libretro/info"
+
+To use RetroArch's udev input driver your user will need to be part of the
+'input' group. This can be done with the following command:
+
+ usermod -a -G input user_name
