RetroNX is officially released.

These are the inclusions with the release, compared to previous versions:

• stb_font support.
• Retro Achievements support.
• Game scanning.
• Split joycon support.
• Core downloader.
• Runahead support.
  
• Networking support.
• Touchscreen support.
• OpenGL support.
• 44 cores available.

The RetroNX UI (nxrgui) still needs to be added to upstream.

Thanks to the hard work of the RetroNX devs (natinusala and m4xw), we now have an official RetroArch release for Switch!

You can download RetroArch for Switch here.

are there any issues with installing this on an exfat formatted micro sd card ? I read somewhere about cards getting corrupted and a few uses unless you use fat32.

If I had a means to launch homebrew, I would say “Tales of Phantasia, here we go!”
Usually I would play it on my Shield TV but there is an annoying bug where the emulator randomly exits to the home menu and all progress is lost.

It is a pretty amazing achievement. It's such a great little pavkage.

FYI if you link to an active discussion it makes logical sense to lock this one so discussion flows there. Instead of splitting it arbitrarily.

On this thread? There's a link to libretro and the discussion thread. Or did you mean on the discussion thread? You could suggest an update to the thread author if that's the case.

Did anyone found how to play with 1 joycon per player horizontally ? The default setup uses the two joycon for player 1, can't get the setting right. do I have to remap every button ? Switching joycon order in horizon OS before launching RetroArch does nothing to the controller config.
Thanks !
Btw it runs really really great, using it on a exfat SD I hope to not have any issues with it!

Links for all Nintendo builds seem to be down on REtroarch page (switch, wii u, 3ds). Throwing 403 error. Other platform builds download fine for me. Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: It looks like the links are working now...nvm me

Is it possible to swap MicroSD cards on a CFW Switch? I'm thinking of using a MicroSD with FAT32 file system for emulation purposes then have a separate MicroSD with EXFAT file system for the real Switch games.

Thanks to anyone who can clearn this up for me.
