Release 1.0.1.3 - Public release

Please read the readme closely and carefully. No copyrighted content is included here. No warranty or guarantee is given - use of this software is at your own risk.

I had more plans for this - specifically to extend the functionality of the launcher to allow emulators to be defined and used through data without any recompilation. That is WIP (but not available in this repo) and I might get to it at some point if I feel inspired to finish it off.

Forking is encouraged - get in touch with me if you have questions or anything about that, I'd love it if someone did more with this!

Release 1.0.1.1 - Added System Icons

Whoops, forgot the system icons...

Release 1.0.1.0 - Added Artwork

Added a large amount of screenshots, thumbnails and system icons for the new frontend. See the readme for more information.

v1.0.0.1 - Script bug fixes, core change, more readme info

• Added Known Issues section to readme, with a workaround for the most heinous issue
• Swapped out Nestopia core for FCEUmm for speed, added core override config/opt
• Fixed some broken scripts, they got missed when the folder layout changed
• Removed a pointless core override options file for MAME 2003
• Fleshed out the readme with some more useful info

v1.0.0.0 - Major release! Includes full, customisable frontend!

• Greatly expanded the EM Launcher app to become a full, new frontend styled after the stock UI but driven by a user-editable JSON file. All artwork was originally drawn, nothing was taken from the stock.
• Updated ROMs path to be in RetroArch's /data directory instead of /system because there's a lot more available space!
• Consolidated a few similar scripts together into single, larger ones that let you do multiple things in sequence
• Added a script to push data for customising the new frontend (JSON list of games, thumbnails, screenshots, etc.)
• Added some example JSON data and images for the new frontend
• Split the ROM and BIOS directories
• Removed some unused core overrides for cores that went nowhere because they either run too slowly or the device doesn't have enough buttons
• Added core and game overrides for a ton of systems and games so they're centred approtpriately in the tall screen of the device but at the right aspect ratio
• Added some example playlists for RetroArch, in case you don't want to use the new frontend
• Made changes to the RetroArch config to turn various GUI elements off so the experience is more seamless, like the stock experience
• Added some prompts to various scripts to prevent accidents
• Moved all scripts except the initial one to utils

v0.1.3.0 - RetroArch improvements

• Fixed an issue where highly important RetroArch assets weren't being put into place automatically, leading to missing graphics and, more crucially, missing data for scanning ROMs and using cores
• Fixed the RetroArch config so the configured paths for various things are correct, now
• Added a script to extract the stock ROMs from the device
• Added a script to upload RetroArch thumbnails to the device
• Added scripts and supporting data for management of core overrides, and some default core overrides for a handful of cores to move the game area into the center of the vertically oriented screen
• Improved default RetroArch configuration to make the experience more friendly on the device - did things like hide various options which are completely unusable (downloading anything, etc.)

v0.1.2.0 - Now Untethered with new Launcher

Big update - the hack is now untethered and has a launcher app on the device

• Added an APK and scripts to install/manage it which acts as a new frontend
• Added source for the launcher
• Added scripts to switch between the new launcher and stock
• Updated and fixed various scripts because of some missing goto labels etc.
• Removed some now extraneous scripts (removing APKs or rebooting the device will break things now so I'm not surfacing how to do it.)

v0.1.1.0 - Additional scripts for adding and removing

• Added script to uninstall everything
• Added script to uninstall RetroArch and it's data
• Added scripts to remove RetroArch cores (one at a time or all of them)
• Added scripts to remove ROMs (one at a time or all of them)
• Refactored "abort now or forever hold your peace" scripts to take user input instead of directing the user to just close the window
• Added script to just install RetroArch (and the custom config)

v0.1.0.0 - Initial release - Simple Tethered Boot

This release is a collection of scripts to allow users to install and use RetroArch on the Namco Museum My Arcade Mini Player. You can upload cores, ROMs, etc. and use the RetroArch frontend with the built-in controls.

To launch RetroArch, the device must be connected via USB data cable to a computer with ADB installed - once it's all set up, you simply run a batch file to launch the app.
