Thanks @Ezio and libretro team.

ot, @STLcardsWS you forget about tags.

 

Thanks a lot @Ezio, but

per core configs aren't longer supported (removed)

is a deal breaker. Gonna stay on the previous version

There's "Save Core Overrides" and "Save Game Overrides" in the main menu in replacement of per-core configs.

This choice has been done 2 months ago because per-core configs created only issues and didn't work like expected. It affects all the platforms (so vita too), not only the ps3 port.

What does this mean? Like core-specific controller mappings, rewind settings, and other settings are removed? Also, will this update break all previous save states?

Also huge thanks, man! I love seeing new updates on core apps, thanks for contributing

For example controller mappings are now saved using 'Save Core Overrides' in replacement of per core configs.

Also, will this update break all previous save states?

No idea if it breaks previous saved mapping configs, it could be. Previous savestates and savefiles instead should work fine.

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply! I'll give it a spin tonight

 

Hello guys, thanks @Ezio and involved.
Does anyone know if there is a NEO GEO CD emulator for ps3?

I see. Again, congratulations to developers, Snes roms works almost perfectly (I found some graphics glitch on Top Gear 3000)

 

Can I have both the old v1.0.2 retroarch installed AND this one too? Since they're different apps anyways and you can only run one at a time I figure you can but I want to make sure they're are no conflicts .

I want to try it out....but honestly the old one works just fine with snes, genesis, sega cd, nes...etc..so what real advantages are there in this one over the old 1.0.2 one aside from being prettier and the gui?

No as they have the same title ID is short answer. But there is a possibility you can change the ID of one installation to have them both

 

Hello guys, thanks @Ezio and involved.
