v4.7
It has been a long time since we released a new version, and after many changes, many bug fixes and the help of many people, finally here it is v4.7!
If you find any issues with this update, please first test with a clean installation!
I apologize in advance, but the changelog is going to be automatically created from the GitHub commits and PRs since there are many and I will most likely miss some.
But here is a short (incomplete) version:
Added support for PortMaster! in addition we have added a few new ports.
Added FMtowns emulator
Updated most emulators to the latest version
Fixed many Bluetoth gamepad issues, specially with fake PS3 Gamepads (tested with shanwan and guo hua)
Added support for MT7668 BT chip
Updated to the latest CoreELEC base (CE-20 branch)
Autogamepad configs should now work much better and support more controllers
Fixed some issues with resolution switching
Enabled TTS on Emulationstation
... And many, many changes under the hood!
Thanks to the always supportive Patreons

Please note that due to lack of testing time, some devices have not been properly tested, if you find a bug or an issue, please don't hesitate to let us know via Discord, or opening an issue in github.
In other news...the EmuELEC forum is closing soon!
We regret to inform you that the EmuELEC forum will be shut down by the end of February 2024. We hope to preserve the forum in read-only mode, but we cannot guarantee it.
The main reason for this decision is that we have outgrown the free package offered by discourse, and we do not have the resources to upgrade it.
The second reason is that most of the forum activity is from users of unsupported devices and unofficial images, which we cannot and do not want to moderate or endorse.
If you need support for our supported devices and official images, please join our Discord server.
