The team is composed of dink, iq_132, JacKc, kev and me. It supports most libretro features (netplay, runahead, retroachievements, …).

Starting today, we will start offering nightly versions of RetroArch for iOS and tvOS on our buildbot!
In the past, harakari would grace us every month with a pre-compiled version that we then had to manually upload to our buildserver. Now, it’s fully automated, so both iOS and tvOS versions of RetroArch will be built with each nightly and stable cycle!

Hi there,
we are finally nearing the final transition stages of our infrastructure to the new system.
We need to take our current buildbot servers offline for the next two days (starting tomorrow – 11/18/2020) in order to continue.
We ask and hope for your understanding and we will let you know as soon as the servers are up and running again.

In the past we’ve simply brushed it off as FUD (Fea...
