Retroarch 1.90?

Retropie from official website 4.7.1

Hi, I would like to update to Retroarch 1.90 for the new features.

I have seen YouTube videos of retropie users with 1.90 installed.

I don't want to make my setup unstable and so far have only installed if available from retropie setup.

And not sure how it's done any other way.

So wondering what the experts advise, should I just wait patiently until it is available?

I respect that retropie does not update until fully tested.

Thanks
Hannie

It's being worked on. 1.9.0 has a few issues which are solved in 1.9.1, so probably the next update will include that version.

@mitu thanks for answering my question. I will wait until update. @mitu your support on these forums is really great. I have seen you post many answers to users questions.

Reading through these forums I find they are much more useful and supportive than other gaming frontend forums.

If you want you can use this to update to 1.9.0 if you'd like to try it out before the official release

@mitu great News indeed! :D

@mitu I have to ask... When it gets released, is it so different that it will screw up my build, or will it be a smooth update? I dread updating these things...we've all been there. Lol.

Thanks.

@jamrom2 I don't know what your build looks like, but any upgrade for a package preserves the existing configurations of the emulator.

Yes, that's what I was hoping for. What I meant is sometimes upgrading something creates more headaches than expected. As long as the new version sees all the locations of the config files in all the original locations, everything should be fine.

Thanks for the hard work. Much appreciated. I'm looking forward to the new release

RetroArch 1.9.4 should be installable now from RetroPie-Setup.

Binaries have also been updated, if you wish to install from source, then make sure you also update the RetroPie-Setup script to version 4.7.13.

@mitu hiya. I ran into a problem with lr-dosbox-pure after the upgrade to 1.9.4. I lost the use of my keyboard. Only a few keys work like G, J, C, etc. I haven't touched anything else, aside from trying to get it working again

It's a BT Rii mini i8 that had no prior issues. It works fine in other emulators and DosBox Staging.

Keyboard region is set to US
No other keyboard bindings selected other than default.

I've updated lr-dosbox-pure to the latest binary as well.

On a side note, the only other emulator that I had to fix was lr-handy for Lynx. It now requires the bios file to run. Prior to this 1.9.4 update it didn't need it.

@jamrom2 Please open a separate topic.
