REG-Linux 2024.06 - Infinity

First Release

TODO : write release notes

Fork Point from batocera.linux

2024/07/xx - batocera.linux 40 - Swallowtail

Special Notes

Batocera now has a global battery mode option under Game Setting to determine the power mode when a handheld is unplugged. To potentially improve battery consumption, you can adjust the mode the handheld operates at when running on battery. By default the power mode will be set to balanced mode when unplugged. Other options are highperformance or powersave Note: The powersave mode will have the biggest impact on CPU performance whilst gaming to reduce battery consumption as much as possible.

Singe games now have it's own system. Move any singe related games from roms/daphne to the roms/singe directory. Note: Singe games in the roms/daphne folder will no longer work. You can determine you have a Singe simulation game by the games folder contains a .singe file.

EmulationStation's Video Mode (resolution) is now under System Settings rather than under Frontend Developers.

Special Notes

Emulators using Wine now use the Glorious Eggroll custom runner for latest capabilities and compatibility. Your previously saved games are still maintained in /userdata/saves/ in their associated bottle for the afftected emulators Xenia, BigPemu, FPinball & Model2Emu. Future WINE bottles are now provisioned here: /userdata/system/wine-bottles under their respective system name. Xbox360 emulators (Xenia & Xenai-Canary) have now moved to support VKD3D (D3D12 to Vulkan) for exanded compatibility by default with the previous native Vulkan available as an option. New saves will be in /userdata/saves/xbox360 where you can transfer your previous saves to continue gaming where you left off. You can then free up space by removing your previous WINE bottles from userdata/saves respectively after starting each emulator and forming the new WINE bottle accordingly. If you have used squashfs for your Windows games you can choose to unsquash & recreate the bottle with the new runner.
Enhanced Secure Boot support for x86_64 systems requires interaction with the system's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) even when Secure Boot is disabled. When booting v39 or later you may need to either disable the TPM or acknowledge the intention to boot Batocera when presented with the blue "Boot Option Restoration" screen. See https://wiki.batocera.org/secureboot#tpm for more detailed instructions.

Network shares - advanced configuration You've not enough space on your sdcard or on your usbkey ? You can now use your nas (like a freebox) as a usbkey (not from the graphical interface for the moment). You need to edit the /boot/batocera-boot.conf file like this : sharedevice=NETWORK sharenetwork_nfs1=ROMS@192.168.0.1:/mnt/Documents/recalbox/roms sharenetwork_nfs2=SAVES@192.168.0.1:/mnt/Documents/recalbox/saves sharenetwork_nfs3=BIOS@192.168.0.1:/mnt/Documents/recalbox/bios sharenetwork_smb1=SHARE@192.168.0.1:Documents/recalbox:guest
