Hi,
Thanks for the repo.
I found that RA is 1.7.x. Compare to the currently release of 1.8.1, seems like a bit old at this point.
Is there a reason that RA is keeping this old version? Thanks.

Also, this version only has gl video driver, and cannot run .glsl shaders compares to the one on emulation station. I can only run .glslg shader which is very resource consuming.

It is just a matter of free time... I'm sorry...
Which one is "the one on emulationstation"? emulationstation is just a front end...

Sorry, I was meant to say the RA used on retropie is able to run .glsl shaders, while the gamestarter seems only accept .glslg shaders, which requires high performance hardware so a pi could not handle it well.

Thanks for your effort, I am already very satisfied with it, so that I dont need to do a berryboot just to install retroarch alongside the libreelec system.

Thanks Very Much! I will for sure try it out!
