New Update (v1.16.0)

AdvertisementRemove ads, dark theme, and more with Premium

3DS: Update __system_initArgv

3DS: Update SquirrelJME 3DS Core information along with icons.

ANDROID: Rewrite input handling to better support AINPUT_SOURCE_STYLUS

ANDROID: Prevent the android quick tap mouse click emulation while pressing a button on the on-screen overlay

AUDIO: Fast-Forward Audio Resampling

AUDIO: Reinit audio on audio sync toggle

AUDIO: Count audio samples in stats when rate control is disabled

AUDIO/PULSEAUDIO: Support device list for PulseAudio

AUDIO/WASAPI: WASAPI Frame Delay fix + cleanups

AUDIO/WASAPI/MIDI: Frame Delay correction

ARCHIVE/ZIP: Improve ZIP decompression This reduces the amount of memory Retroarch needs to extract a ROM file. It will only need the size of the ROM plus 128KiB to extract the file from the ZIP. Previously it needed as much as twice that amount if the compression ratio was not great. This is useful on memory constrained platforms and has no impact on platforms with plenty of memory. Handles all cases correctly (with and without MMAP, for cores that require fullpath or not, small and big ZIP files).

APPLE: Add default keyboard overlay directory to platform_darwin

APPLE: Update to MoltenVK 1.2.4

APPLE: Don't include MoltenVK library in Load Core menu list

APPLE: Enable AltServer JIT for builds installed by Xcode

APPLE: The default pthread stack size on Apple is too small for detect_ps2_game, so increase it

CHEEVOS: Upgrade to rcheevos 10.7

CHEEVOS: Don't initialize rcheevos memory unless used

CHEEVOS: Add progress tracker widget

CHEEVOS: Eliminate leaderboard tracker stutter

CHEEVOS: Expand leaderboard visibility settings

CHEEVOS: Collapse trackers with same value definition

CHEEVOS: prevent frame step when hitting rewind button while paused in hardcore

CHEEVOS: disallow video_swap_interval and black_frame_insertion in hardcore

CRT/SWITCHRES: Don't always force core aspect ratio

CRT/SWITCHRES: Fix aspect ratio for tate games on a horizontal screen

CRT/SWITCHRES: Add PAL threshold option for automatic refresh rate switch

CRT/SWITCHRES/KMS: Add KMS modeswitch

COMMAND: Make cmd interface more useful for replay information

CONFIG: Allow all systems to check for backslashes (Windows) as last slash in path. Improves portable core logic

D3D11: Fix memory corruption in d3d11_gfx_init

D3D12: Enable blending when drawing the menu

D3D12: Move fence signaling out of d3d12_gfx_sync

D3D12/LIBRETRO: Add D3D12 HW_render support

DOWNLOADS/THUMBNAILS: Prevent directory creation on bogus thumbnail downloads

EMSCRIPTEN: Fix Emscripten sleep function/macro

EMSCRIPTEN/RWEBAUDIO: Fix RWebAudioInit race condition

EMSCRIPTEN/OPENAL: Make openal default audio driver

FFMPEG: Fix RetroArch fails to restart streaming when video re-inits and instead starts recording

FRAMESKIP: Use refresh rate instead of core fps for frameskip timing

INPUT: Combo hold + 'enable_hotkey' correction. Fixed issue with having menu toggle hold combo in different button than 'enable_hotkey', which caused 'enable_hotkey' to also act as menu toggle if held long enough, and simplified and unified duplicate code in start+select holds to a single function.

INPUT: input_keyboard_event: Don't check hotkey binds when device is RETRO_DEVICE_POINTER

INPUT: Add input_keymaps_translate_rk_to_ascii() for correct character input to input_keyboard_event

INPUT: input_overlay_poll: Delay clearing INPUT_OVERLAY_BLOCKED flag until there is no overlay input (Avoids stray input after osk_toggle)

INPUT: Send keyboard events for modifiers before other keys (for correct modifier+key input if hitboxes overlap)

INPUT: Remember currently set keyboard mapping bits during same config read, because otherwise customized keybinds can get cleared out of the bits on the next iteration, causing keyboard events to get passed to the core when they should get blocked.

INPUT/AUTOCONFIG: Reinit after updating autoconf profiles

INPUT/LINUX/UDEV: Log mouse devices in info level

INPUT/LINUX/UDEV: First working version of udev driver with touchscreen support and gestures.

INPUT/WAYLAND: Add wayland to input driver list

INPUT/MENU: move port X binds into retropad binds submenu and add appropriate help text and sublabels to discourage people from messing around in there unnecessarily

INPUT/MENU: Add menu icons to 'RetroPad Binds'

INPUT/MENU/OSK: Allow more keyboard actions with menu osk

INPUT/REMAP: Remap label fix when no autoconf profile active

INPUT/REMAP: Add 'Save As' option for remaps and overrides

INPUT/OVERLAY: Add overlay parameter to control x/y separation in auto-scale mode

INPUT/OVERLAY: Revive/rewrite Keyboard Overlay and OSK Toggle. Add keyboard overlay preset, keyboard submenu, and osk_toggle hotkey. Use overlay caching for osk_toggle.

INPUT/OVERLAY: Overlay Caching. Adds overlay_cache_ptr to keep a disabled overlay in memory when it's expected to be shown again. Most input_overlay_deinit calls are replaced with input_overlay_unload, which caches the overlay unless initing/deiniting core or disabling overlays. Loading a cached overlay is done as a swap, intended for osk_toggle.

INPUT/OVERLAY: Add input_overlay_check_mouse_cursor() to preserve show/hide mouse behavior

INPUT/OVERLAY: Don't apply input_overlay_show_mouse_cursor in windowed mode (controlled by mouse grab only)

INPUT/REMAPPING: Stop always reseting to defaults on remap delete

INPUT/SDL: Fix rumble on PS4/PS5 controllers connected via bluetooth

IOS: JIT support in iOS

IOS: Use AltKit to try to enable JIT on iOS

IOS: Enable option to rumble iOS device instead of controller

IOS: Fix including audio/video filters on iOS

IOS: Haptic feedback for overlay on iOS

IOS: On iOS, stop/start audio on interruptions

IOS: Add accelerometer and gyroscope sensors to iOS

IOS/TVOS: Rework JIT availability checks

IOS/TVOS: When updating playlist with detected core path, used resolved core path

IOS/TVOS: Implement memory queries on iOS/tvOS

IOS/TVOS: Netplay discovery through bonjour/mdns

IOS/TVOS: Improve some log formatting on iOS/tvOS

IOS/TVOS: Preliminary MetricKit support on iOS/tvOS

TVOS: Fix analog stick handling after adding Siri remote tap support

TVOS: Also handle tap events on tvOS

TVOS: Back up retroarch.cfg to NSUserDefaults on tvOS.

TVOS: tvOS has its own beautiful screensavers and I would like them

TVOS: tvOS Siri remote handling

TVOS: Fix accidental left/right keypresses on tvOS

TVOS/CONFIG: Avoid a crash if there is no backed up config file on tvOS It's not really usable as a game controller, but it is good for going through the menu as a simple LRUD. This also adds better support for names of mFI controllers, as well as being able to do the expected tvOS behavior of "backing out" of the app.

TVOS: AltKit support for tvOS

INTL: Fix language detection in Canada to English

LANGEXTRA: Enable language autodetect for all builds with LANGEXTRA

LIBRETRO: Add new context hardware render enums - enables autodetection of DX12 for PS2 core

LIBRETRO: Add API to check JIT availability on iOS

LIBRETRO: Allow RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SET_MEMORY_MAPS also after core startup. Change the comment in libretro.h about the removed limit and handle the environment call during core runtime in RetroArch.

LIBRETRO: Add new API for querying the device's power state.

LIBRETRO/VFS: Rewrite retro_vfs_file_remove_impl
