RetroArch Plus 1.16.0_GIT (arm64-v8a + x86_64) (Android 4.1+)

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

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

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

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

This version is meant for devices that have Android 8.0 or higher installed. As a result, it supports over double the amount of cores (127) as the regular version (50).

If you'd like the full-fat RetroArch version with a working Core Downloader, go to our website www.retroarch.com, and download the APK for your system there.

RetroArch is an open-source project that makes use of a powerful development interface called Libretro. Libretro is an interface that allows you to make cross-platform applications that can use rich features such as OpenGL, cross-platform camera support, location support, and more in the future.

This is a special 64bit version of RetroArch, for those with 64bit capable devices!
