RetroVault 2026.8.17.1 brings artwork into the controller-first library without giving up the fast text-first interface.

What’s new

  • Small box-art thumbnails now appear in game lists by default and load only for visible rows through the existing image cache.
  • Select toggles between the standard library layout and a 50% right-side artwork view for the highlighted game.
  • The standard list remains the default layout, and box art can still be disabled for a text-only library.
  • Added an Apple TV feasibility and prototype plan without changing the current macOS product boundary.

Requirements

  • Apple-silicon Mac
  • macOS 26
  • RomM server
