Libretro Team

RetroArch 1.20.0 has just been released.

Grab it here.

Remember that this project exists for the benefit of our users, and that we wouldn’t keep doing this were it not for spreading the love to our users. This project exists because of your support and belief in us to keep going doing great things. We have always prioritized the endusers experience, and unlike others, we have never emburdened them with in-app ads, monetization SDKs or paywalled features, and we intend to continue to do so. If you’d like to show your support, consider donating to us. Check here in order to learn more. In addition to being able to support us on Patreon, there is now also the option to sponsor us on Github Sponsors! You can also help us out by buying some of our merch on our Teespring store!

Shader subframes

We’ve added a new CRT beam simulation shader from Mark Rejhon of BlurBusters (blurbusters.com) and Timothy Lottes (creator of the original FXAA shader and the crt-lottes shaders). It leverages RetroArch’s recently added “subframe” shader capabilities to significantly improve motion clarity on modern displays without the typical drawbacks associated with black-frame insertion (BFI) implementations, such as reduced brightness, dulled colors, and risk of image persistence (the non-permanent-but-still-scary cousin of CRT/OLED “burn in”) that occurs on many common LCD panel types.

Illuminance sensor support for Linux

Jesse Talavera here again! I’ve been working on something fun: illuminance sensor support for Linux! Now you can play Boktai with real light, just as intended. Check out this clip of Lunar Knights running on my Steam Deck as I adjust the lights:

☀ Now we’re cooking with sunlight! ☀ melonDS DS’s next update will include solar sensor support (among other things), so look forward to that! Also coming soon after 1.20.0 — camera support for more platforms!
