Retrohacked Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 4.4 Celebrating 1.4 million total downloads, v4.4 is finally here! this version has a LOT of changes please read through the changelog to find out about them. As always. while we try to test every aspect of this release with many new settings, options, emulators and ports it is impossible to test it on all devices and with all games. If you find any issue please use Discord, The EmuELEC forum or if you are sure its a reproducible bug open a GitHub issue. General: Huge update to base build system: All Amlogic devices now use the same kernel 4.9-19! You might notice a bit more performance on some emulators as well usage in general. IMPORTANT: S905 (GXBB, p201) for the moment is no longer supported. If you have one of those devices (s905 no letter after the 5) DO NOT UPDATE, stay in 4.3. Fixed Bugs: One of the most annoying bugs that plagued fbdev with Retroarch was finally fixed (Issue #76) fixed in PR mali_fbdev fix for fps drop after egl_destroy (#789) by @spleen1981! This means that using Retroarch as boot up option is now possible (some small changes need to be done). Fixed Bluetooth connectivity issues Fix zoom not working on manuals Fix many external mounting issues Backup will now rename the file instead of deleting it after restore. Fixed SuperTux and SuperTuxKart data download Fixed auto-update would show update available even if there was none.
