RetroArch 1.9.13 ninjafix release
A ninjafix release was just pushed for RetroArch 1.9.13. This overwrites the current 1.9.13 build. Download it here.
The main reason for this was that the overlays had been changed in 1.9.13. This would lead to many people’s existing overlay config files being broken due to the paths no longer working. So we changed it back to defaults. We apologize for the inconvenience. For example, because of this, the de...

Hi Patrons,
this is a rare private post from us.
An earlier message was sent today. Unfortunately, we had to take the difficult decision of removing this for now since some of the other afflicted parties dont want word to get out yet that we are onto them. Please do not ask us questions about this yet or talk about it until we finally make the decision to publish this. We thank you for your understanding.
