Do you know, is it possible to add a vibration function? And I donā€™t know how but I wonder, could it be set in SDK to bottom line of screen (same as on iphone x) to disappears after a while in fullscreen mode?

Thank you, hd mode is marvelous, only had problems with n64 PareLLEL core, it freezes the program. I am running i8+ on 12.4 /uncover.

Using 1.7.8 on Mac OS X on 10.14.4 Mojave I used to be able to navigate menus with keyboard/joypad. This afternoon keyboard and mouse input ceased working after RetroArch displayed a white screen ā€“ had to hard power off the system.

Iā€™ve since reinstalled by removing Retroarch from Applications and removing its directory from Application Support, forcing a new retroarch.cfg to be created.

I wish N64 could be added back to RA iOS so very badly! Want to get in on some fun 64 action!

provenance has a n64 core

Iā€™m a big fan of retro achievements though when I play, provenance doesnā€™t support them do they?

Also, retro achievements just released PS1 achievements too, and I guess RA nightlys have already implemented it, canā€™t wait for iOS too!

Hey there,

I am wondering if this will ever get an official update?

A wonderful new tool has recently been released on iOS.

AltStore is now available to install ipaā€™s without jailbreak and the great news is its permanent.

I was hopeing for an official update, as the unofficial ones are not working currently on this.

I am on iOS 14.7.1 with iPhoneX using RetroArch 1.9.4 itā€™s working fine I just have a problem with Mame Playchoice-10 ROM i.e PC_SMB3.zip but when we start it it needs more buttons like on keyboard 2 ,5 but in mobile we canā€™t choose those buttons like keyboard on pc so how to start the rom?

I love it but how do I rewind? Because it doesnā€™t work for me

Also Iā€™m on a iOS device

Hello together! Is there any way to install PPSSPP Core in RetroArch 1.8.1 on the ATV 4K running TvOS 14.7? Cannot find PPSSPP in the Core Update Menu.

Thanks a lot for any help!

File is missingā€¦ (((, so badā€¦
