v3.0.2

Versão com imagens · 13 de novembro de 2026

Notas da versão
  • SistemaNew release: Arch R 3.0.2 images (official), with every update since 3.0.1 and update from the card from the first boot

20261113.7

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix a launcher-only update leaving its session unit stale until a restart (systemd is reloaded now)

20261113.6

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • LauncherFix game scraping (ScreenScraper) without the project's login: the launcher updates 20261113.4 and .5 were built without it

20261113.5

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaNew feature: update without network: download archr-update.tar on a phone or computer, copy it to roms/update/ on the card and install it from Settings › System › Updates; it is checked against Arch R's signature first
  • LauncherNew feature: Update from the card on the Updates page, with the file's What's new and a confirmation

20261113.4

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • LauncherNew feature: send the last diagnostic report to the developers from Settings › System › Diagnostics (it asks first), and see this console's ID in Error reports
  • SistemaNew feature: every console has a stable ID taken from its hardware, carried in its error reports so reports from one console can be told apart
  • SiteError reports now accept the console ID in their name and the full diagnostic report (.zip, up to 5 MB)

20261113.3

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix PortMaster ports printing "tasksetter: No such file or directory" on start (FEZ and other older ports)
  • SistemaFix false error reports for GameMaker ports waiting for the user's game files and for Unity games' offline analytics message

20261113.2

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix system files that only a new image could update (controller setup, CPU speed settings, R36S Clone headphone switch, boot trace): updates now bring them too, so fewer fixes need a reflash

20261113.1

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix updates failing on weak Wi-Fi: a dropped or stalled download is tried again, up to three times, and resumes where it stopped

20261113

Atualização · 13 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix memory leak: each game or app opened left about 4 MB of video memory behind until reboot

20261112.6

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix 32-bit GameMaker ports that need OpenSSL 1.1 (Climb and others on gmloader): they closed at once with "wrong ELF class"

20261112.5

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix Wi-Fi after a restart: a failed first connect is retried within seconds instead of leaving the console offline for up to 30 minutes
  • LauncherFix the screen not coming up after a restart (seen once after a GPU driver switch): the session now brings the display back
  • LauncherNew feature: ports that need the panfrost GPU driver (Bugdom, BZFlag, A7Xpg) ask to switch the driver and restart instead of closing with an error
  • SistemaFix ports that use gl4es drawing nothing on the panfrost driver

20261112.4

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix ports that need libfribidi (Aleph One: Marathon 1, 2 and Infinity): the shared library is now installed

20261112.3

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix ports on PortMaster's Weston package (Alex the Allegator and ~75 more): they now open, and the launcher comes back instead of a black screen

20261112.2

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaError reports: quitting a port that prints a stack trace on exit (Carmageddon) no longer sends a report

20261112.1

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix 0% on a full battery: the gauge now calibrates to full when an external charger holds the pack full (R36S and clones)
  • SistemaError reports: the game file's size, space on the card and first bytes

20261112

Atualização · 12 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix N64 games kept in a .7z not opening with the standalone emulator ("not a valid ROM image")
  • SistemaError reports: a game's command line stays whole; no report for PICO-8 before its program is copied in, nor for a screen that comes a few seconds late at boot
  • SiteOverlay generator: fix the black screen on R36S Soysauce Y3506 V06 (2026 boards), whose new panel stayed in standby; generate the overlay again

20261111.3

Atualização · 11 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaError reports: a port that writes its own log (NextOS ports and many others) sends the error lines from it; a port's report no longer loses everything after a line like SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd ... && pwd)"
  • SistemaNextOS ports: opening one before its APK is in place no longer sends an error report
  • SitePortMaster docs: NextOS Universal Ports, how to add their catalogue
  • SitePortMaster docs: the NextOS catalogue checked library by library (42 packages, 32-bit included)

20261111.2

Atualização · 11 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix Dreamcast, Atomiswave and Naomi discs in a .zip or .7z named after the archive (Hero.zip holding Hero.chd) closing at once
  • SiteOverlay generator: R36S clones keep the amplified sound card by default again; the switch to the simple card in 20261111 also moved boards whose speaker works on the amplified one (#51, #43); the V20 2551 uses Force simple audio routing, now in the docs

20261111.1

Atualização · 11 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaNew feature: Dreamcast, Atomiswave and Naomi discs kept in a .zip or .7z (GDI, CDI, CHD or CUE) play; the console extracts the disc once, with a "Preparing the disc" message, and opens it right away the next times
  • SistemaFix the 7z command in the terminal ("cannot find the code that works with archives")
  • SistemaFix error reports counting a core's unknown option ("Invalid value") as the cause of a failure
  • SiteNew page: changelog

20261111

Atualização · 11 de novembro de 2026

  • SistemaFix the Wi-Fi service (iwd) crashing when a USB Wi-Fi adapter drops while it is being set up (RTL8188EU on the Soysauce)
  • SistemaError reports no longer sent for answers: save and exit with no game open, an emulator that saves no state, an update refused for low battery or no network
  • SistemaGame error reports carry RetroArch's own error lines ("Failed to load content")
  • SiteOverlay generator: fix audio on R36S V20 2551 clones; boards with the speaker on the RK817 class-D output get the simple sound card by default

20261110.9

Atualização · 10 de novembro de 2026

  • LauncherNew feature: search in a system's list (Y › Search in list), ignoring accents and case, games inside folders included
  • LauncherNew feature: folders in a system's list (Y › Show folders, per system, off by default), with the number of games in each

20261110.8

Atualização · 10 de novembro de 2026

20261110.4

Atualização · 10 de novembro de 2026
