A new Libretro core is being made available for RetroArch and other Libretro frontends today! ECWolf is a Wolfenstein 3D source port game engine courtesy of phcoder that can run the following content:
It will be available today for the following platforms:
We held a poll earlier this week on Twitter, asking our users whether they would like us to stay with XMB as the default UI, or switch to Ozone. The results were overwhelmingly in Ozone’s favor, so starting from today’s nightlies and the upcoming RetroArch 1.8.5, Ozone will now be the default menu UI on everything but mobile phones.

One of the final pieces of the puzzle regarding Dreamcast mipmapping was finally solved! Dreamcast had a feature called “Mipmap D-Adjust” which in practice is nearly identical to mipmap LOD bias, with the only difference being that it works with a factor (* d-adjust) instead of a bias (+ lod bias).
Flyinghead came up with the implementation, it has been merged and should be in the nightlies later today.
We made two comparisons here – one with Daytona USA 2001, t...

The 64 Disk Drive was supposed to be the N64's answer to the CD-ROM medium used by the N64's competitors, the PS1 and Saturn. However, despite it being a repeated talking point by Nintendo all the way back to 1996, it finally came out in 1999 with barely a whimper at which point few cared anymore and it would not even release outside of Japan - the next generation was already looming around the corner.
Mupen64Plus Next now emulates the 64 Disk Drive, so one can finally discover what all...

Runahead support is currently incomplete and you can see some of the status bar elements flashing, some of the screen updates also are improperly rendered right now. The promise with runahead though is that we can start shaving off large amounts of built-in game latency once it’s working perfectly! For the best results...

Would you like #RetroArch to stick to the XMB as the default menu driver, or would you like Ozone to become the new default?
Cast your vote on Twitter!
NOTE: Mobile will continue to use MaterialUI regardless of the outcome for now, since Ozone is not touch/mouse-friendly right now.&nb...
Some significant improvements have been made to the Dreamcast emulator core Flycast by flyinghead that serve to increase the graphics accuracy.
For one, the OpenGL renderer has mip-mapping support now for the first time. Second, all texture mipmap levels are now uploaded to the GPU. The Vulkan renderer no longer auto-generates mip-maps and instead uses the proper mipmap levels. What happened before is that these auto-generated mipmaps would ‘bleed’, whereas the ones provided by the ...
