Today, petRockBlog announced a release of the new version of their Raspberry Pi project RetroPie.

RetroPie is a project residing at petRockBlog, which aims to provide a comprehensive set of works that turn Raspberry Pi into a retro-gaming console and allow players to easily relive their nostalgic memories . Because of that, RetroPie has gained lot of popularity since its release in 2012.

3.1 changelog:

Workaround for lr-snes9x-next crashes for certain games.

New theme installation script and excellent new theme “Carbon” which is lighter on memory than the Simple theme (no more white screen of death! – works with all systems).

Initial bluetooth module for pairing keyboards.

We now provide images for use with Berryboot.

Moved Super Mario War out of experimental.

New default lr-fba-next emulator for rpi2 owners.

Added lr-mame2003 (based on MAME 0.78) emulator.

Minor Emulation Station tweaks, reduced time to skip buttons, and improved parsing with brackets in gamelists.

New experimental modules – sselph’s scraper and lr-mame2010 (based on MAME 0.139)

Improved ps3 controller pairing.

Initial support for installing RetroPie manually on Raspbian Jessie and OSMC (via source only – consider this experimental for now).

Splashscreen improvements- can be added from samba shares, splash videos play all the way through without emulationstation cutting them off.

Lots of bugfixes, and improvements to the RetroPie Wiki.

First reactions to 3.1:

Retropie version 3.1 looks awesome. On cosmetics alone I saw upgrade. I’ll update on how it plays here soon — Chris (@Retrocore_RCVGM) October 6, 2015

Retropie 3.1 fixes a lot of issues with PS1 emulation. Games that didn’t work on 3.0 now work on 3.1. Pi owners should upgrade. — Chris (@Retrocore_RCVGM) October 6, 2015
