The buildbot is doing round 2 of the 1.7.7 release rollout. It will likely take hours again to be finished with them all, but you'll get a better endproduct out of it in the end.
In the meantime, here is an early release of a pre-alpha version of RetroArch for UWP/Xbox One! Plea...

Introducing the concept of RGUI particle effects. Basically, you get 256 particles to play with, each consisting of 4 float variables with which you can do as you please. This is very crude and simplistic, but it's also quite flexible and adding new effects is a fairly trivial exercise.
From a user's perspective, the current Snow option ...

The desktop UI is about to become even better soon!

RetroArch 1.7.6 has just been released! Grab it here.
NOTE: Currently the following versions have not yet been released – Xbox OG and OSX PowerPC. We will keep you up to date on Twitter and update this blog post accordingly.
So far nvidia PC GPUs were supported by Lakka through nouveau open-source drivers.
Unfortunately, these drivers are nowhere as complete as Intel or AMD ones, so while having some advantages (DRM/KMS support, no X Server) this approach has major drawbacks, for example:
Because of...

We have implemented a dropdown list of all the available resolutions that your display server currently supports. You can select a resolution from this list and it will change the output resolution, and it will even change the refresh rate accordingly. So you will be able to jump from 4K 60Hz to 1440p 120Hz if your video card and TV/monitor allows for it on the fly!
Hopefully this i...

Thanks to flyinghead, Reicast Libretro has now gained Sammy Atomiswave support! Sammy Atomiswave was an arcade system board based on the Dreamcast/Sega NAOMI hardware. A lot of SNK Playmore’s flagship games transitioned from the ageing Neo-Geo hardware to the much more modern Naomi-based hardware, such as Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, Metal Slug and so on.
Both MAME ROMs and ...

Even special edge cases like the 98-track Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six CHD should work just fine!

fjtrujy is working on a RetroArch port for the PlayStation2. Yep, you read that right!
So far, he has succeeded in getting RGUI rendering onto the screen, the PS2 joypad is working, and a core has been compiled (Picodrive). From here on out, the challenge becomes a bit harder - he will need to figure out sound, get the libretro core actually running, get audio/video performing well, etc.
