We have managed to restore most of the 1.9.0 stable downloads. Some files are still missing though, such as the PS2 stable and the non-RPX WiiU builds. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until 1.9.1 before we release another stable.
All the stable versions prior ...

Approximately 5 hours ago, we were the target of a premeditated cybercrime attack on our key infrastructure.
The hacker did the following damage:
The same hacker apparently found a way to get into our Github Libretro organization and start removing the entire git history and commits from all our repositories.
We will keep you updated as this situation unfolds. For now, we have a serious targeted sabotage situation ongoing with first our buildbot server being attacked and then somebody getting access to the Github organization and start wiping stuff.
We have backups of the organization anyway, but this still sucks. We ...
2020-08-16 04:27:24 +0000 UTC View PostOur buildbot server got hacked just now. We were not anticipating this so we have no idea how long it will take us to restore the state of this. For now, we have to consider the server compromised and take the appropriate actions to ensure this does not happen again.
The forums and sites are on another server and have not been compromised as a part of this attack.
This means that right now, all nightlies and stables are gone. Whatever you can still get probably comes from a ...

We regret to inform you that RetroArch 1.9.0 will not be releasing on the Google Play Store for now.
RetroArch has been available on Android through the Google Play Store since 2012. We encountered two snags this week while trying to update RetroArch on Google Play. First, it complained that our APK size was too big, and that an APK could not be any bigger than 100MB. So we had to go back and start removing some shaders in order to get things to fit.
After this, we tr...

So, it’s been a long time since we (prematurely) announced our intent to launch RetroArch on Steam. We’re nearing the finish line now however, so now is as good as any a time to start discussing how things are going to roll out.
We will be launching with 10 cores -
It's the understatement of the week to state that this has been a good week for all things Libretro and RetroArch. But it's about to get even better -
PlayStation1 texture replacement support (preliminary) for Beetle PSX HW!
This Vulkan-exclusive feature makes it possible to replace all textures in game, and as a first Proof of Concept, a texture pack for Chrono Cross already exists in the wild! You've never seen it like this before.

We just got our first core DLC approved on Steam, wooo!
There's a ton of paperwork and back-and-forth corrections and requirements that need to happen with each Steam approval--and we're having to do it for each core we plan to release, along with the main RetroArch application--so this is just the first small step in that long approval process.
However, we know a lot of you have been waiting patiently for more news, so we wanted to share this little milestone with you...
