Standalone cores for Android?

Good day.

I was wondering if you guys had any plans on releasing individual APK for each core, similar to what other systems like the Wii U, 3DS, etc, have for them, in which you can have separate cores (each one as its own app) and then you also have the full RetroArch APK to choose from.

I ask because I am only looking for very few cores (like 2 oe 3) from the pack, and I would much rather have them as standalone apps rather than altogether to save space in my phone.

Thanks in advance

No plans, no. You can just download the couple of cores you want, though. You don’t have to download all of them.

Statically linking them actually uses more space than the normal dynamic loading because the RetroArch executable has to be linked to the library each time instead of sharing the common executable with the various separate libs.

You can save a lot of space using only RetroArch heh.

Oh that’s right. I completely forgot that RetroArch in Android has a function to download only certain cores. Sorry :stuck_out_tongue:

I will do just that, thank you!
