It’s been a fight the whole dang time. The lead dev is a shite programmer with a gigantic ego and a control freak. He was infamously awful on the emulation subreddit. Deeply disrespectful to the actual emulator devs. MAME team especially have a long lived hatred of Retroarch.
Occasionally he’ll rewrite code that was working fine and break something that previously worked. Like…NETCODE. For example. Broke it and refused to take the L. So the guy who wrote the netcode backend quit out of frustration. That’s just one of a billion examples.
His ego is rivaled by the likes of stenzek (Duckstation emulator, and front end wizard for Dolphin and PCSX2) the guy behind Simple64, and TeknoParrot. Except those guys are actually good programmers, just insufferable.

Wait, what’s the drama? I’ve just installed Revanced on a new device in the past month and it seemed fine?

I had not heard of the drama, thanks for the link.

Reminds me of…a lot of stuff. But especially Retroarch.

Yeah, the worst part is it’s a very useful program so a lot of people turn a blind eye.
I don’t tell people what to use or not. Like I use GrapheneOS but the lead dev crashes out on Xhitter constantly and attacks rival privacy projects.
