Hi, was this never considered for implementation ? |

Absolutely. I am just working through getting binaries built for Bookworm and fixing up problems. In the meantime I was hoping we might have a resolution for the scaling issue, but I will give this attention asap. It's a core component so my priorities are to make sure it works on all our supported targets and is well tested. |

The PR was set to draft in order to update to v1.22 (from https://github.com/cmitu/RetroArch/tree/retropie-v1.22.2), but it seems there are - still - a few bugs with the 1.22 release before the libretro team decides to officially announce it. |
|
The current tip of https://github.com/cmitu/RetroArch/tree/retropie-v1.22.2 contains a bug related to VFS. This causes issues with lr-fbneo and the tip of lr-ppsspp. If I build retroarch v1.22.2 with the retropie patches applied, both cores work as expected. See libretro/RetroArch#18582 for more information. |

How is this related to the current PR ? My
Yes, because the regressions on the VFS path have been introduced after 1.22.2. I'm aware of the changes/regressions in the RetroArch's tree. The reason this PR is still a draft is that there are still regressions in 1.22.2 that are not resolved properly. |
This bumps the RetroArch version to 1.22.x from 1.19.0. The RetroPie module changed with: - RGUI border is removed in the default configuration. - New version enables a 'linear' interpolation by default, which blurs the menu for RGUI, so disable it - Reset/Quit require confirmation now and their option names have been renamed, so make sure they're updated in existing configs and new default config. - Enable saving the remaps sorted by controller name in new default configs. Seems natural given that remaps use the underlying physical controller indexes for axis/buttons, which are controller dependant. See libretro/RetroArch#16747 for details. NB: this is a breaking change from the existing/default behavior of RetroArch, but is not applied to existing configurations, just for new insallations. - Now the Pipewire is supported as audio server, add the dependencies to build with it on desktop. Add the driver to the configuration editor, so it can be selected. - Due to changes in the build scripts, when GLES(2) is enabled then OpenGL1 should be disabled. Release announcements for the new versions: - 1.22 (Nov 2025) followed up by 1.22.1 and 1.22.2 in the same month.

This bumps the RetroArch version to current RA master from 1.19.0. You can pull the rebased version from https://github.com/cmitu/RetroArch/tree/retropie-v1.22.4. Our patches have been re-based/modified to accomodate the current RetroArch master. There were some regressions in 1.22 that have been solved in current master and since there are no major releases since last November, I decided to rebased onto the current master.
The new version has a regression on KMS/DRM for RGUI, reported upstream, which is worked around by settingrgui_aspect_ratio_lockto0until (if) it's fixed. This will make the RGUI stretch/shrink to the current core provided resolution instead of staying the same.The RGUI regression present in 1.22 has been fixed upstream.
The RetroPie module changed with:
