Changes (from 2.3rc2)

If you already have a 2.3 version just replace rootfs.squashfs to upgrade without requiring reimaging

U-Boot

  • Bootlogo changed to show 2.3

Kernel

  • Added initial support for PAP Gameta II Plus

Buildroot

  • Added timidity to fix sound in Duke3D and posibily in other ports.
  • Added symbolic link for libjpeg.8 pointing to libjpeg.9 to fix Rockbot and Quartermaster.

GMenuNX

  • Created github repo in retrofw and changed Buildroot to point to it.
  • Add initial support for PAP Gameta II GPIO.
  • Fix RS07 USB detection.
  • Suspend timeout option can be set to OFF. Values below 10 in suspend timeout prevent device suspend.
  • Reset settings option. Previously the GMenuNX and Default skin options was enabled by default and it was not possible to reset options.
  • Remember selection option. Now this has three possible values:
    • OFF: Do not remember previous selection.
    • File: to remember the last loaded file. This is the new 2.3 default option. It opens the file selector and preselects the last loaded file/rom and the last loaded application. This makes it very quick to get back to the rom and emulator your played before shutdown.
    • Application: Remember the last selected application. This will remember the last application only. It does not open the file selector. This was the default option in versions 2.2 and below.
      If you will update only rootfs.squasfs reset this option after the update as values might lead to odd GMenuNX behaviour otherwise.

Devices

  • Dropped Gopher2 image
    RetroFW's U-Boot does not work with device.
    Gopher2's factory U-Boot is not compatible with the new init for RetroFW 2.3

  • PAP Gameta II Plus
    Consider it in alpha status. Use at your own risk.

    • Tested on a device with an ZNL043T702-P40 LCD Panel, that seems to be compatible with the current kernel compilation for TM370LN4309.
    • D-Pad, face buttons, L, R, Power, Select, Start and volume controls works
    • Headphones works.
    • TV-Out is working. TV out jack is mixed with headphones jack, so the headphone detection asks if TV out should be enabled as expected.
    • Networking to PC and using retrofw as a storage device over USB is not working.
    • Boot combo keys are not working.
