4 hours ago4 hr Hi everyone,I'd like to share EmulationStation-RE, a Linux-focused fork of EmulationStation (originally based on Batocera's fork) that has been heavily modernized to run natively and cleanly on standard desktop and SBC distributions (Arch Linux, CachyOS, Debian trixie, and Armbian on Raspberry Pi 4 and later). [1]What's new under the hood:Modern C++23 & SDL 3.2+: Built with native audio decoding (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAV without SDL_mixer) and a unified OpenGL 3.3 Core (x86_64) / OpenGL ES 3.x (ARM64) renderer. [1]Native C++ Game Launcher (es-launcher): Replaces Batocera's Python launch scripts with fast native C++ generators that handle controller mapping, video settings, and per-game options for RetroArch, Dolphin, PCSX2, RPCS3, DuckStation, Cemu, PPSSPP, Azahar, Eden, xemu, and Xenia. [1, 2]Built-in Catalog & Bezel Project Integration: Download standalone emulators (AppImages, archives, Flatpaks), libretro cores, themes, and The Bezel Project game overlays straight from the UI. [1, 2, 3]Clean Linux Integration: Strictly follows the XDG Base Directory spec (~/.config, ~/.local/share), features a built-in web server (port 1234) for remote management/ROM uploads, and ships pre-built Arch (.pkg.tar.zst) and Debian/Armbian (.deb) packages with built-in updates. [1, 2, 3]New Default Theme (es-re-mono): Ships with a clean charcoal and amber interface featuring 47 monochrome system logos. [1]GitHub & Releases: https://github.com/JyuHo/emulationstation-reFeedback, bug reports, and contributions are more than welcome! Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by Jyu Ho
