  • New safe shutdown method to preserve saves and configuration files. Thank you to DaMikki for the solution. If you cycle through your available systems, you will see a screen with a power switch icon and the word 'shutdown'. Press the A button to safely shutdown your system without using your power button. The best way to think of this is that you will use the POWER button to turn ON your system, and the shutdown icon to power OFF your system. This will ensure that your saves and configuration files persist.
  • Added epicnoir theme to optional themes, thank you to TetrisSQC for the work.
  • Added 'v1.7' to Settings background image to indicate Add-On Pack version.

For users coming from v1.6 of this pack, you need to perform the following steps to implement safe shutdown:
  • Move the 'softshutdown' folder in this package to the 'emus' directory of your SD card.
  • Move the emulators/99 shutdown (System) file from this pack to the sections/emulators directory of your SD card
  • Move the wallpapers/poweroff.png file from this pack to the skins/Default/wallpapers directory of your SD card

Users coming from v1.5 or earlier, be sure to also perform the steps indicated on the v1.6 update.

This update fixes a number of issues related to aspect ratio and Dreamcast buttons.

If you are coming straight over from stock settings, follow the instructions in the ReadMe file.
If you'd like, you can also download the fresh image file, unzip, and drag into a new SD card that is FAT32 formatted.

If you are running a previous version of this add-on pack (like v1.5), you only need to do two steps:

  1. Replace the cfg files found in the emus/retro/ folder on your SD card with the cfg files found in the retro folder in this package.
  2. Replace the contents of the sections/emulators folder with the contents of the emulators folder found in this package.
  • Fixed aspect ratios across the board. They aren't perfect, but they will look less stretched. Aspect ratios are not logical with this device, so I had to make the best guess based on how it looked to my eye.
  • Added shoulder buttons to Dreamcast (L1 and R1 function as triggers).
  • Changed retroarch-core-options.cfg to a read-only file in hopes that it won't get overwritten. This mean that Dreamcast should remain at 640x480 resolution and Game Boy should keep a green shader coloring. If either of these features disappear, download and paste this code in the emus/retro/retroarch-core-options.cfg file on your SD card. https://github.com/retrogamecorps/s30-add-on-pack/blob/main/retro/retroarch-core-options.cfg
  • Added tweak to savestate_auto_index in config files to allow more than one save state per core.
  • Steamlined retroarch.cfg files to serve specific purposes, mostly concerning aspect ratio.
    -- retroarch.cfg = full-screen aspect ratio
    -- retroarch-arcade.cfg = should be an automatically adjusting ratio based on game
    -- retroarch-dc.cfg = adds shoulder buttons to the Dreamcast emulator
    -- retroarch-gb.cfg = handheld aspect ratio (somewhere between 1:1 and 8:7)
    -- retroarch-gba.cfg = full-screen aspect ratio with no smoothing for GBA, WSC, and Lynx
    -- retroarch-nes.cfg = console aspect ratio (somewhere between 4:3 and 3:2)
