RetroForge 0.8.1 beta: PS4 Player, moves and turbo, scrape all artwork, Ukrainian

RetroForge 0.8.1 beta

PS4 games through the new RetroForge PS4 Player, moves and turbo for fighting games, box art for your whole library in one tap, and Ukrainian.

HELP WANTED: TESTERS FOR THE GOOGLE PLAY VERSION

RetroForge is coming to Google Play, and Google needs at least 12 people to test it for 14 days before it can go public. If you have an Android phone or tablet and a Google account, you can help. The links to join will be added here very soon:

1. Join the testers group (link coming soon).
2. Then open the test link on your Android device and tap "Become a tester" (link coming soon).
3. Install RetroForge from Play, open it now and then, and keep it installed for the 14 days.

The Play version installs next to this GitHub one, so you can keep both. It has everything except Switch, self-updates and a few downloads Google doesn't allow. Your email stays private: only the developer sees the group's members, and RetroForge itself collects nothing (privacy policy: https://retroforgefrontend.github.io/RetroForge/privacy/).

WHAT'S NEW

PS4

• The RetroForge PS4 Player is out (an early preview, built on shadPS4): https://github.com/RetroForgeFrontEnd/RetroForge-PS4-Player/releases. Put your own dumped PS4 game folders in a ps4 folder, tap Play, and the game opens in the player. Back opens its pause menu, and Quit brings you back to RetroForge.
• The first time, Android asks you to let the PS4 Player access all files, so it can read your game folders.
• Get it, for the PS3 and PS4 Players, now opens each player's own download page.
• PS4 emulation on a phone is new: most games are slow or don't start yet. Sonic Mania runs at about 40% speed on a Galaxy Tab A9+.

Moves and turbo (built-in player)

• Pause menu → Moves and turbo. Turbo: any button presses itself again and again while you hold it.
• Move lists for more than 35 fighting games, among them Street Fighter II, Alpha and III, Mortal Kombat 1 to 4, The King of Fighters, Fatal Fury and Real Bout, Samurai Shodown, Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct, Tekken 3, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Primal Rage, with specials, supers and finishers.
• Each move shows its inputs as arrows. Tap a move to put it on screen (up to 4) and tap it to do it; ⇄ turns it round when your fighter faces the other way.
• With a controller: hold Select (View on an Xbox pad) and press the move's last button, e.g. Select + HP for a Hadouken.
• Each game button can be moved to any pad button, kept per system, and a game on another system uses that version's buttons.
• Cheat codes too, such as Contra's 30 lives.
• Your own lists: put a text file per game in the player's moves folder.
• Moves are off during netplay and link-cable play, so nobody uses them against another player.

Box art and guides

• Scrape all artwork (Retro tab, and Settings → Covers and bezels): box art for every game that has none, from libretro first and then ScreenScraper.
• Find a walkthrough, on a game's page under Guides and maps, searches GameFAQs for the game.

Looks, music and films

• Settings → Looks and sounds → Size: RetroForge's words, logos and pictures from 70 to 150%.
• Your music in the pause menu, under Resume: what's playing, with Previous, Play/Pause and Next.
• Films with DTS and Dolby TrueHD sound now play with sound.
• On a phone, the film player's buttons wrap onto a second line instead of squashing, and the EQ panel scrolls.

Languages

• Ukrainian, a seventh language: Settings → Language, or Android's own per-app language setting.
• Portuguese is now Brazilian Portuguese throughout.

Fixes

• Copying a game from a network drive keeps going when you leave RetroForge, with progress in a notification and a "ready, tap to play" when it's done.
• A network drive no longer drops the connection when the PC says a file isn't there.
• Console game lists have Scan for new games, which looks through every game folder, network drives too.
• An Xbox pad's View button is Select in a game instead of pausing.

You need your own games, BIOS, keys and firmware. Nothing of Sony's or Nintendo's is included.
