Pre-release
Pre-release
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
