RetroArch 1.3.4 released

Version 1.3.4 has just been released.

Builds can be found here.

Old MacOS X builds (PowerPC and 32bit Intel) will be retroactively added soon, since these builds can’t be automated.

Graphics improvements

 

This is the simplified ribbon animation shown here. The more advanced one should be fullspeed on any GPU from 2008 and later.

RetroArch 1.3.2 released

From now on, there will be more frequent rolling updates.

We are close to automating releases on the buildbot so that we can have weekly releases for the most prominent platforms.

Version 1.3.2 is available here:

http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.3.2/

I will add OSX 32bit and PowerPC releases to this later on. PS3 will be back at some later undisclosed time, same with original Xbox and 360.

Regarding the releases from this point on: give us as much feedback as possible, and with each week we can try to address some of this feedback and make RetroArch better. A ‘Release early, release often’ approach instead of the drought of stable releases that was the norm before will hopefully result in more sustained progress.

RetroArch 1.3 released

RetroArch 1.3 was just released for iOS, OSX, Windows, Linux, Android, Wii, Gamecube, PS3, PSP, PlayStation Vita and 3DS.

You can get them from this page:

Once again the changelist is huge but we will run down some of the more important things we should mention:

RetroArch 1.2.2 released – for Android/Windows/OSX/Wii/Gamecube/PSP

Time for another update. Let’s get right to it.

OSX version

NOTE: If the OSX version doesn’t work for you, you might have to install the Cg framework first. To do that, download this and install it:

The OSX version is back! We have two versions because we care about backwards compatibility, one for 32-bit Intel Macs (OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and up), and one for 64-bit Intel Macs (OSX 10.7 and up). Later on we’ll go even an extra mile beyond this by releasing the PowerPC version too, which should be compatible from OSX 10.5 and up. It would be nice to push the OSX requirements down even further in time.

Some caveats right now: the guy who did our buildbot releases (IKarith – TJCarter) – I don’t know what fate befell him and whether or not he is still doing fine (I hope he is), but these builds seem to be no longer being pushed out to our buildbot, the last update was somewhere around the end of June. So we will have to be looking fast for a solution for this on our buildbot so that we can have 0-day updated cores again for iOS and OSX (the iOS version is not yet released but will be coming up next hopefully).

Rushed 1.2 release

First of all, we admit that the 1.2 release was rushed and we regret that we were in such a rush to get something out there that we might have lost the forest for thre trees at some point. Bear with us here, it has been over a year since we had started a very big initiative to rewrite the entire codebase from scratch so that it could be future proof from now on, and there is only so much that can be tested in a controlled environment. Once it gets out in the wild, a lot more potential usecases can be tested and therefore, issues can pop to the surface that you didn’t anticipate before.

Now, not to make apologies for anything, we have been working our ass off this past week dealing with the feedback and improving things. So, let’s start with that.
