Re: Saved State Format
The Retron save format is simply a wrapper for any arbitrary data. We deal with two types of saves: snapshots, which are not trivially portable, and SRAM saves which can be used with PC emulators etc. The same Retron save wrapper is used for both types, so any PC tool would inherently be able to dea...

Re: Saved State Format
We use a custom file format for saves, not to intentionally make it incompatible but rather to add compression and integrity protection. I'm happy to explain the format if anyone would like to work on PC-side tools.

Re: No new firmware for over a month, trouble in Hyperkind l
Hyperkin still denies the use of RetroArch in their product, but the developers of libretro insist it's there. For all we know Hyperkin could be rewriting an interface from scratch to put this topic to rest. As far as I'm aware, with the release of the last public firmware where we removed the smal...
