Important - PLEASE READ

Due to recent changes with firmware this release has to unfortunately be a full-image release and not a simple update. This contains a partition layout change along with a few internal backend changes which helps bring simple changes for development purposes and closer to support smaller patches and possible OTA updates in the near future.

Apologies to those who dislike re-flashing their device constantly, however with this update which includes the new storage preference module this should no longer be a hassle to update to full images in the future!

Please read our guide to help upgrade or migrate your data from a previous version. This can be found in the HELP section on the sidebar.

The RetroArch configuration structure has changed to allow RetroArch settings to be shared across devices. Manually copying a retroarch.cfg file from an older release to a device running Banana may break your controls, hotkeys, etc. (If this happens, use the “Restore RetroArch Configuration” script in Task Toolkit to revert to defaults.)
