FAQ:
-
Can I mix and match multiple RetroArch distributions?
Yes, you just need to set different exe values for different systems.
For instance, you can use the 64bit version of RA + Dolphin core for GameCube games (Nintendo GameCube.ini):exe=com.retroarch.aarch64/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture parameters=cores/dolphin_libretro_android.so
And the 32bit version of RA + MAME Core (MAME.ini):exe=com.retroarch.ra32/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture parameters=cores/mame2010_libretro_android.so
-
Will it load separate configuration files for 32bit and 64bit versions?
Yes, it will always load the default configuration file for each version.
Default configuration files are in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/[package name]/files/retroarch.cfg
For example:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.retroarch.ra32/files/retroarch.cfg
-
Can I make Hyperspin launch my own custom compiled version of RetroArch?
Yes. As long as the package name starts with com.retroarch everything should work. -
Can I configure HyperSpin to load retroarch.cfg from a custom location?
Not for now. I find that I can accomplish what I want with the default config file + settings overrides.
If you have a specific use case that would benefit from this feature comment bellow and I'll see what I can do. -
How was this implemented?
I reversed engineered the original Google Store APK using Apktool and JEB.
You can find the two lines of code that I've modified bellow. You can use APK Studio to verify my changes.
