PS3 [Coming Soon] RetroArch (PS3) v1.2.1: Latest Details

RetroArch PS3 v1.2.1 is coming close to a release and user's that have an appetite for eye candy may be pleased with more advance menu's being confirmed (for ps3 version) by one of the lead developer of the RetroArch Project; developer Squarepusher. The release is right around the corner, however there is one bug that is now preventing its release, this bug should be overcome soon as it's minor [break]ss[/break] but an annoying issue that will need to be resolved before the release of the PS3 version of v1.2.1 of RetroArch, all details can be seen in the quotes provided below..

Also, note that there has been recent Android, Nintendo Wii/GameCube & Windows version that have been released yesterday, see news on those platforms here.



​

All these platforms are obviously still waiting for a new RetroArch release:

• PlayStation3
• Mac OS X
• Blackberry 10
• iOS
• Xbox 1 (OG )

Bear with us here. I'm working round the clock to make sure we finally have the latest version of RetroArch on all platforms again. This past year has been a truckload of work and I will be pleased to see this chapter finally end so that I can move on to the next phase of development. Rest assured that the PlayStation3 version will have some awesome features and that the iOS and BB10 versions will not disappoint.

And after I have these platforms out of the way, I can finally start looking again at the Windows Phone/WinRT port in general…

Thanks for reading this post and stay tuned for more big news this coming month. Things will be moving fast from now on, with plenty of results.

There is currently a showstopping bug where it will crash if you try to 'quit' RetroArch (as in - either quit it in the PS3 XMB or going to 'Quit RetroArch'). Fixing that bug is the only thing preventing it from a release right now. I'm not expecting it to be a major thing but it's just annoying to debug.

Also, the PS3 port is now going to have RGUI, GLUI and (maybe) XMB as menu drivers. No more RMenu, both XMB and GLUI should be way better than it in terms of eye candy and features.

• RGUI - a very classic, low-resolution menu
• GLUI - a more advanced GL-based menu
• XMB - a horizontal crossbar menu that is the most eyecandy-rich of all three right now

any day now, last i heard.

vaporware

 

vaporware

Not really because the code there for anyone to compile. So how is it vaporware at that point?

Is the code broken? What do the beta testers out there (I assume there are still in the scenes these days) have they can share? Maybe some teasers or any news for the ps3 users.

promised product not delivered = vaporware
Been a few months of the "in a couple days" type thing.
But with the code available, if its up to date, then its possible to debug and get something working...
