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.

Wasn't this already posted?
I remember a thread about the nightly builds, but it was updated accordingly after the official update was released.

Only the title was updated, and no content was added. I checked to make sure it hadn't been reported first.

I can't wait to play Spyro 2 on this thing. The original disk has a huge cut in it. ;-;

Looking forward to playing Super Mario 64 on the go (without touch controls) and trying out some new games.

Is this just part of Lakka or is it actually an installable title on the Home Menu? (Genuinely Curious) Cause the screenshot looks like it might be Lakka.

It's a homebrew application.

Man.. can’t wait for Reicast!

 

[Essasetic]

I can't wait for PPSSPP and Dolphin as well.

Dolphin ehhhhhhhhh maybe
PPSSPP for sure will be a thing

 

[Shubshub]

It's a homebrew application.

So is it installable to the Home Menu or does it still require the Homebrew Launcher?
I'd rather wait for Homebrew that can be installed to the Home Menu (Also allows you to take more advantage of the sytem)

It requires the homebrew launcher. Although I hope an NSP version will be made.

They got dolphin running on Lakka on Switch. So it is possible!

We are planning to look into that, can't estimate performance yet.

 

[DiscostewSM]

So how is general performance of this? I understand that Lakka is better in performance because it doesn't have the overhead of Horizon and possibly better access to the hardware, but it also has limitations right now like no speaker audio, wireless controllers, or docked mode, so for the time being, this would be great for EmuNAND.

It's probably only me, but did anyone else initially read that as "Man.. can't wait for Racist!" automatically?

On topic, I tried one of the old nightlies on my old (now sold) Switch when they still used the generic rgui theme, and I hated it. @m4xw, are the pics in the OP of the actual application, or of Lakka? What does the RetroNX theme actually look like? If it works with the xmb theme, I would be ecstatic.

 

[matias3ds]

Can this be installed on Sx Os , anybody has install instructions ? They are not on the web you can download the program

Looks the same like on lakka. we also have MaterialUI which is nice with touch support!

Hopefully it will work great
