Cross Platform Notes

Cross-Platform Notes

Windows

• Fully supported, primary development platform
• Emulators install to %APPDATA%\Freegosy\emulators\
• 7-Zip bundled as thirdparty/7zr.exe for .7z extraction
• Windows native game launching supported with auto-exe detection
• Xenia Canary (Xbox 360) is Windows-only

macOS

• ARM64 (Apple Silicon) and Intel both supported since v0.2.1
• Emulators install to ~/Library/Application Support/Freegosy/emulators/
• .app bundles are auto-detected recursively after extraction
• Versioned app names (e.g. PCSX2-v2.6.3.app) are automatically renamed to canonical names (PCSX2.app) for stable detection
• Quarantine attributes are stripped automatically (xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine)
• Apps are deep-signed automatically (codesign --force --deep --sign -)
• RPCS3: the ARM native build has a regression for some games; use the x86 build via Rosetta 2 as a workaround
• Azahar: if the Libretro core is detected instead of the standalone app, Freegosy shows an error suggesting to switch to RetroArch in Settings

Linux

• Partial support — binary detection and system path resolution being improved
• Most emulators with Linux builds should work
• Save sync paths follow XDG conventions where applicable
• Full Linux support tracked in roadmap

Android

• Planned for a future release
• Will support deep links to Play Store / Epic Games for game downloads
• Save sync architecture already cross-platform ready
