This is an initial demo of RetroArch build for webOS.

Installation

  • Install an .ipk
  • Start RetroArch from home screen
  • Online Updater → Update Core Info Files, Online Updater → Core Downloader, Online Updater → Update Assets
  • Content can be loaded off USB drives (/tmp/usb/...)

Known issues

  • Only dpad, "center" button and number keys work on a remote. Scrollwheel and magic remote pointer work as well. Any other keys are unbindable as of now. In order to go back in the menu system press upper left corner icon / box using magic remote pointer, or rebind some number keys to A/B/X/Y keys on a remote and set "Unified Menu Controls"
  • Joypad hotplug doesn't seem to work well. Only tested with PS3 controller over USB - new joypads are detected, disconnects show a RetroArch notification, but reconnection in the same RetroArch session are not detected - RetroArch needs to be closed completely and restarted manually from webOS home screen.
  • Cores are not paused when minimizing the application/opening the homescreen
  • Only a bunch of test cores are prebuilt so far (NES, SNES, Quake, 2048, DosBox...)
  • Image viewer seems to crash system compositor...
