somewhere safe outside the Steam install. So what does this change mean? Currently, the RetroArch base directory on Linux is RetroArch-Linux-x86_/retroarch which you can see the retroarch’s itself in a subdirectory instead of being in the main directory of the game, so our goal is basically same directory structure for every platform! Due to the chance of data loss our recommendation is to copy everything you care about, for example save files, options, your cfg files etc. Additionally, on Linux, we are moving from the AppImage-based release to using the newer soldier runtime available in Steam to increase the likelihood of RetroArch working out of the box on more Linux distributions.Īs there is a small risk for breakages for Linux users we felt the need to properly inform about this. However, to simplify RetroArch on Steam we are moving to the same folder structure on all platforms. Looking forward you can expect regular updates and soon a nightly branch. For a long time, we have manually released everything on the Steam, this has now been automated for both platforms. Right now, we need to make some changes for the Linux platform. We have been busy working on the Steam version to improve compatibility and stability.
