Features

  • Minimal UI: Recents are now hidden by default and GameSwitcher can be launched by pressing MENU.
  • Tweaks: A new app for making Onion your own!
    • System settings: Startup behavior, auto-save and exit, vibration.
    • Custom shortcuts: Single/long/double press MENU, and launch apps or tools via X or Y in MainUI.
      • Known limitation: Some apps can't be launched this way (for now only Music Player / GMU is known not to support this).
    • Personalize the UI: Show/hide recents/expert tabs, theme overrides.
    • Advanced: Quick access to advanced emulator settings, plus a submenu to reset different settings.
    • Tools: Sort favorites, fix thumbnails, remove OSX system files.
  • MainUI context menu is now mapped to SELECT (MENU default action is instead GameSwitcher - this can be changed in Tweaks).
  • GameSwitcher: Minimal mode (press Y to toggle - hold Y for fullscreen image).
  • Package Manager: Besides the new name, the old "Onion Installer" has also gotten a massive overhaul:
    • "Change-count" shown for each tab, and the total packages added and removed are shown in the top bar.
    • Press X to toggle all items in selected tab.
    • Press Y to reset all changes in selected tab.
  • Search app is now native to Onion, and mapped to X by default (more info).
  • RetroArch: updated to latest version, supports save state thumbnails, and shows less on-screen notifications.
  • File Explorer: Updated color scheme, fullscreen image viewer (with navigation) - reinstall via Package Manager required.
  • Retired unused cores: mame2003 (use mame2003-plus instead), fbalpha (use fbalpha2012 instead).
  • Updated/added cores: Fake-08 (pico8) , blueMSX and fMSX.
  • New experimental emulator: PCSX-ReARMed standalone and mame2003-extreme.
  • New theme features: custom boot/shutdown/save splash, charging animation (up to 24 frames), more options for battery percentage.

Ports collection

  • The Ports collection binaries have moved to Roms/PORTS, and a reinstall via Package Manager is required. Your existing ports files will be moved automatically by the installer. You will need to correct the paths inside the launch script of ports that are not included with Onion.

ScummVM game list

  • We've changed the way ScummVM games are indexed, which now allows showing the games as single list items with the possibility of having boxart (more info).

GB/GBA Fast Forward

  • Fast forward is no longer additionally mapped to R in the Game Boy emulators.
  • This is to unify the shortcut for fast forward across all systems (MENU + R).
  • Note: Click here for information on how to bind fast forward to a single button.
