-faster bootup
- (CPS-2 emulation among other fixed)
- Cave shooters such as Guwange and beat em ups such as Sailor moon (ARCADE) now works!

great stuff.
I will cut right to the chase here:
all of the proprietary stuff has been scrubbed deleted and uninstalled. (proprietary launcher, roms, artwork etc)
Its all now ran by regular retroarch (updated to 1.7.6) with lean android installation as a backbone and my homemade launcher as the intermediary(frontend).
only default controllers have been tested. (try your luck with your own?)
start + select exits game
start + B savestate
start + A loadstate
works with 1.0 and 1.1 devices.
PRETTY SURE THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING WEIRD THAT HAPPENS THIS IS PRETTY UNTESTED!!!!!!!!
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS WITH ROMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF PEOPLE NEED THE CFW LINK THEM HERE!!! THIS WILL BE SEEING PERIODIC UPDATES!!!
CFW can be used in two modes:
Emu-nand mode (easy and recommended method for most users!!!): just burn the provided .img on any 4gb or 8gb sd card with win32diskimager, hit cancel to all the nag screens that will come up after you are done burning the image. put it in the SD card slot and boot up the console. Once its booted up insert a usb stick (fat32 format, in one of the usb ports on the device) with the folder provided in the release and your games in each respective folder. simple, no UART! to go back to stock simply turn off and remove the SD card. Everything returns back to normal! to revert the sd card back to retail, just use SD Formatter.
-copy the provided "Games" folder to a usb stick (no games are included, use your own).
Sysnand mode (update 10/19 hard and not recommended as there are some cps-2 emualation issues and mame emulation issues with the cfw that i am working on): you will need to boot Lakka and flash it to the internal nand. To do that see post #136 here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/super-retro-cade.519483/page-7 . Changes are permanent and you would need to backup your original firmware. Only recommended for adventurous people and well versed in tech. Main advantage being that you free up the SD card slot and your can put the game folder in your SD card as well as using the usb stick like in emu-nand mode (a bit more options)
The "SEGACD" folder will require the following bioses:
BIOS_CD_U.BIN
BIOS_CD_J.BIN
BIOS_CD_E.BIN
dont ask me where to find them.
"cue + bin" or "cue + iso" format required
"PCECD" folder requires the following bioses:
syscard3.pce again dont ask me where to find it.
"cue + bin" or "cue + iso" format required
"PSX" folder requires "scph1001.bin" dont ask me where to find it
"cue + bin" or "cue + iso" format required
"FBA2012" folder requires "neogeo.zip" for NeoGeo to work dont ask me where to find it. (LARGE NEO GEO TITLES ARE SUPPORTED!!!!!)
.zip format is used here
"GBA" folder requires "gba_bios.bin" dont ask me where to find it (different core is used for increased speed!!!)
"SNES" folder requires .sfc
"Genesis" requires .bin
"GBC" will accept GB just renamed .gb to .gbc
"Master System" is .sms
"NGP" neo geo pocket must be in extension .ngp
everything else should be pretty self explanatory.
next version will have a homebrew app to update cores and backup savestates and saves. please be patient.
for now, enjoy.
Note: I did this to share love with the community and there is no intention to step on anybodies toe's. if there is an issue with this release please let me know. No need to be confrontational. I will be happy to take it down if there is any issue.
