CafeServer self-update

Updated

CafeServer checks for and installs new versions by itself — no manual download or reinstall.

How the update works

  1. CafeServer regularly checks for a new version.
  2. If there is one, it downloads it and verifies the files.
  3. It swaps in the new version and restarts within seconds. Your installed games and settings stay as they are.
  4. If anything goes wrong while replacing files, CafeServer rolls back to the previous version so your café keeps running.
