See some of the latest changes (bugfixes/improvements/etc) you can expect from the next version of RetroArch.
We have been heavily working on our website and other social media channels as of late. This new changelog page is but one of the new features on our website.

2019-08-02 20:01:36 +0000 UTC View PostIn order to do the Steam release justice, we have some infrastructure work remaining to do that will take more time. Our new release estimate therefore is sometime later this quarter. We will keep you updated on our progress.
The net positive of this is that we can ensure the release is more polished and that it will meet the user expectations of your average Steam user.
RetroArch 1.7.8 however is going to be imminent within the next two weeks.

So RetroArch is finally coming to Steam two weeks from now!
RetroArch is the official reference frontend of the popular Libretro API. While there is nothing particularly about RetroArch or the Libretro API that has anything to do with emulators, most do it use it for this purpose.
We want to grow our base and as of this month we have been putting a heavy focus into making sure that RetroArch can run originally bought content on game discs. There are further announcements to ...

Thanks to a tester called Namanix, we can tell you in no uncertain terms that runahead with RetroArch works great on Raspberry Pi 4 for systems up to and including the GBA. With runahead configured right, you can get latency BETTER than the original console (on a CRT)!
I repeat again – with Raspberry Pi 4 and RetroArch, latency is NOT A PROBLEM thanks to runahead. You don’t need magic controllers or any fancy tech – but I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves.
You bought all these old games on physical media decades ago. Why should you have to buy it all over again? Why, by that same token, should you have to buy expensive hardware by up and coming startup companies whose main selling point is just to be able to run your physical CD retro games again, but on expensive proprietary hardware built around open source software? Everybody with a CD-ROM drive and with DIY hardware should be able to do this! It’s the year 2019, this stuff should be commo...

2019-05-18 02:54:33 +0000 UTC View PostRetroArch 1.7.7 has been updated again. This latest hotfix release should fix several crashing issues that could happen at startup on the 3DS and WiiU. It should also be a generally more stable release than the previous version. If you already downloaded RetroArch before May 11, be sure to download it again and upgrade your existing version!
2019-05-11 06:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe are pushing a new version of RetroArch 1.7.7 right now for all platforms to deal with some crashes/issues that happened on 3DS and possibly WiiU. When this is ready, we'll announce this here. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
The issues that this corrects mainly manifested themselves on 3DS/WiiU, but just for the sake of completeness the current stable 1.7.7 versions will be updated across all platforms.

There’s probably a good number of people still using RetroArch’s snes9x2002 core for SNES emulation on low-performance devices (primarily Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero). There’s probably also going to be a resurgence now that the Retroflag GPI Case is coming. Because of this, I had a look at snes9x2002, testing both the performance (frame rate) and input lag. Turns out snes9x2002 had two issues with input lag:
