(Coming Soon) RetroArch 1.9.0 – Widget-based ‘load content’ animation

Libretro Team

A new “Load Content” Startup Notification option has been added under Settings > On-Screen Display > On-Screen Notifications. When enabled, a brief animation is shown whenever content is launched – it looks something like this –

Notes:

  • The animation is disabled when running a core without content (there are some underlying technical issues that prevent this)
  • The animation is disabled when running content with ‘in-built’ cores (imageviewer, music/video player).
  • The animation works both for content launched via the menu and via the command line
