Highlights

Libretro

• RetroArch save states load through the same restore and reset path as the GUI. Loading a state no longer crashes the emulated Amiga or the core, which usually happened on the second load (#2422, fixes [#2419])
• Save states auto-loaded by RetroArch before the core boots are applied instead of freezing the boot screen (#2430, fixes [#2429])
• A loaded state is applied before more frames run, so no audio from the discarded timeline plays ahead of it (#2422)
• Joystick As Mouse moves the pointer with the left stick again, and the stick can still steer the on-screen keyboard (#2421, fixes [#2418])

Fixes

• Restored directory-filesystem paths were cut to seven characters, so open files and locks on mounted directories failed to restore. This affected standalone restores too (#2422)
• Hardfile geometry and other strings were truncated when saving a configuration (",1023/16/63" written as ",1023/1") (#2422)
• The Host Only cursor kept only its upper half when the pointer moved into the right half of a native screen (#2426, fixes [#2424])
• With relative paths enabled, ROM and cartridge paths keep their ROM folder (./roms/…), and unset RTC and flash files are no longer saved as a folder (#2438, fixes [#2432])

WinUAE updates

• Merged WinUAE up to 6100b18, including the A2024 and NTSC artifact fixes (#2428, [#2439])
• MMU: writes to cache-inhibited pages are no longer treated as copyback on 68040/68060, and the 68030 data cache honours page-level cache inhibit (#2433)
• Filesystem: renaming a file that is open for reading no longer leaves its keys pointing at freed memory (#2433)
• CIA TOD timing fixes in the normal and fast sync paths (#2428, [#2431])
• A2024, Graffiti and genlock handle programmed horizontal blanking and extreme overscan correctly (#2439)

New

• Optional GDB remote server, ported from WinUAE. It is off by default; enable it with debugging_features=gdbserver and gdb_port (default 2345). It listens on 127.0.0.1 and supports registers, memory, single step, breakpoints, watchpoints and the memory map. It is not available with the threaded CPU. See docs/gdb-debugging.md (#2434)

Platforms and packaging

• FreeBSD 14 and 15 packages (amd64 and aarch64) are now attached to each release; see the README for install instructions (#2437)
• macOS: MacPorts libraries are supported alongside Homebrew (#2373, [#2435])
• DEB packages accept the libavcodec-extra and libavformat-extra variants, so installers like GDebi and Mint's Captain no longer try to replace them (#2425, fixes [#2423])
• Build fixes for GLES-only (USE_GLES=ON, [#2420], fixes [#2416]) and USE_PPC=OFF configurations (#2433)
• Updated AROS ROMs
