dArkOSen 09302026b

The Debian update nuked a custom 32-bit library obviously needed for Retroarch32 and Retrorun32, sorry it slipped through my testing. This mini-update restores it along with updated versions of Retrorun and Retrorun32 as I found a rendering bug on 1024x768 screens. This update is applied through the OTA updates. It is also available offline for those who had to suffer through reinstalling from an image due to no wifi:** 09302026b - 32-bit Restore
