There were a LOT of control issues in 1.2. We also took some time out to fix some graphics glitches that could happen from time to time.

We noticed that the ‘ticker speed’ was very slow in the default Android menu (GLUI), so we made that a bit faster. Some other usability improvements are less pronounced but still welcome. Previously there was no inertia at all so trying to scroll before could feel pretty iffy and not comfortable at all like what you’d expect from native UIs on mobile devices. So you can do a forceful swipe and the scrolling should be done much quicker. When you drag in the menu by pressing and holding your finger on the screen and then making swipes, inertia now gets applied. In other usability improvements, touch dragging has now been improved (by one of our developers, kivutar). (courtesy of heuripedes, one of our developers) It should therefore look a lot more visually appealing now than before. Now we have upgraded that to a Truetype-based font renderer which uses the internal Android system Holo fonts. First of all, the fonts were a bit low-resolution in the 1.2 version for Android because we defaulted to a bitmap font renderer there. Some of these big improvements are in the UI. The Android release has seen several great improvements (and do note – most upcoming mobile versions like iOS and Blackberry 10 will benefit from these improvements) – Now, not to make apologies for anything, we have been working our ass off this past week dealing with the feedback and improving things. Once it gets out in the wild, a lot more potential usecases can be tested and therefore, issues can pop to the surface that you didn’t anticipate before. Bear with us here, it has been over a year since we had started a very big initiative to rewrite the entire codebase from scratch so that it could be future proof from now on, and there is only so much that can be tested in a controlled environment. Allow me to fill you in on everything that has changed.įirst of all, we admit that the 1.2 release was rushed and we regret that we were in such a rush to get something out there that we might have lost the forest for thre trees at some point. So, the latest release of RetroArch, version 1.2.1, has just been released.
