Great job, y'all!! Hope everyone enjoys the official retro experience on their Switch now!

You need dumps from "No-Intro" and "Redump".

I think I already have those dumps, Mortal Kombat Advance (USA).gba for example but I can't see any boxart.

Ok, with the help of a playlist builder and notepad++, now all my snes games are in the playlist with them boxarts.

The problem is, sometimes retroarch freezes when i return to menu (L3+R3) when i'm playing a snes game, only snes.

It's normal?

Try to use the "switch" driver with "rgui" if you encounter problems

Argl.

I just downgraded from the discord build, because I couldnt switch to the switch driver without blackscreen. Enabling "rgui" seems to fix that (fancy menu only with gl driver ), ey..

In the discord build (older than official release build), custom resolution finally worked as expected (you can crop black bars from PAL psx titles), although I couldnt get shaders to work on psx games. Probably better that way..

Now back to upgrading again..

Impressions on the GL build driver:

PSA: For PSX games to run decently well you have to enable the switch_threaded audio driver and threaded video in video options.

Tekken 3 still ran at about the same framerate as with the switch driver (as someone stated before), but with worse audio sync.

Other games I tried ran mostly full speed, but did so with the switch driver as well. (Chrono Cross, FF7, ..)

edit: Runahead support... I'm floored...

Does anyone know if plugging a keyboard into the dock will actually work? I'd love to get the old MSX2 up and running for some Metal Gear action.

I'm reverting to RetroNX, just for the gui. :/ rgui is way less enticing. (Yes I know, that people always like the gui they are used to, but this time its different! xmb is too "crufty" for the portable switch screen - rgui is just too bland...)

*sigh*

You could always wait a bit until Ozone hits RetroArch

One more thing, in the official 1.7.5 release, there are no system, savegames, and savestates forlders in the core folder. Also no "put bios files here" placeholder.

This will potentially confuse (new) users. Potentially increase need for support.

Better put them back even as placeholders..

They will be created on first launch, but I guess you are right. My manual bundles still had them

Thank you so much.

Really. Your UI design was top notch. And once again, you always start to appreciate things, once they are gone..
Take your time.

I actually like XMB, but I'm definitely holding out for that sweet Ozone

You should let him work it at his place, one issue at a time.

I can't seem to get the Thumbnails updater to work, it just gets to a random % and then says Task failed downloading...

Should we be launching 1.7.5 through the HBNSP or does it not matter at this point?
