v1.22.2-webos64

This is a preview release.

Most users should stick to arm as the aarch64 build is experimental but feedback would be useful.

The aarch64 build requires installing this first: https://github.com/webosbrew/webos-bridge-64to32/releases/download/v0.0.1/org.webosbrew.bridge-64to32_aarch64_v0.0.2.ipk

You must be running a aarch64 linux kernel for RetroArch aarch64 to work, check with uname -a (webOS 6+ approximately). Test the bridge IPK first by launching it from the menu, if that does not display a cube then retroarch aarch64 will not work. Please provide a log! See /media/developer/temp/gles_proxy.log.

You should note that while you can install the aarch64 build over the top of the existing one, however the core URL will be wrong in the settings, it would point to the old URL. Its recommended to uninstall the arm one first.

Failing that, install the arm build.

v1.22.2-webos

See previous 1.22 release for notes.

Default IPK is for GLES 2 devices (webOS up to 4.4.2)
Use GLES 3 IPK for webOS 4.10.0 and higher

webOS specific:

• Ensure gamepads/mouse buttons/keyboard keys/buttons are passed through to RetroArch since functionality changed in webOS 8.3+
• Real Mouse + magic remote support for scumm vm (should work with other point and click cores)
• Partial working mouse support for Quake 2 etc., not fully implemented yet

Full Changelog: v1.22.1...v1.22.2

v1.22.1-webos

RetroArch v1.22.1

• Default build is for earlier webOS era devices that only support GLES 2.
• GLES 3 build is for webOS 4.5+ approx that support GLES 3.
