Added 2019-09-30 23:11:20 +0000 UTC
RetroArch 1.7.9 (scheduled for release soon) will debut touchscreen gestures for the menu for the first time! You will now be able to operate the XMB menu without needing a gamepad or overlay!
The following gesture-like functionality is available:
- Swipe up/down in the left margin: scroll through current menu list by ascending/descending the alphabet
- Swipe up/down in the middle region of the screen: scroll up/down through current menu list by one ‘page’ (i.e. one screen’s worth of entries)
- Swipe left/right: navigate left right, or change the setting value of the currently active item
- Tap left margin below top margin: Back/cancel action
- Tap left margin above top margin (top left corner): Open search interface
- Tap right margin: select currently active item
- Tap menu list in middle region of screen: activate item, or select it if already active
- Long press active menu item in middle region of screen: reset item to default setting value
- Press and drag up/down in the right margin: scroll up/down through menu list (the further you drag, the faster it goes – up to a limit corresponding to keeping a cursor key held down)
- Press and drag left/right in the top margin: navigate left/right, or change the setting value of the currently active item (again – the further you drag, the faster it goes)
