With the old megawizard you could just open the dualportram.vhd file, edit it if necessary and save targeting the new device. With ip catalog this is not possible any more (should not be to hard because it is still megawizard...). Since the old ip core files are just *.vhd they don't appear in any ip-core list. No automatic upgrade option available.
