The Mac packages are ad-hoc signed test builds, not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS may block them or display a security warning. This preview is provided for testing.

All four native builds and their deployed runtime checks passed. Linux also passed 25 test groups. Automated checks do not replace gameplay, audio, controller, save-state and fullscreen testing on real desktops.

Includes GBA/GB/GBC emulation, SDL audio/controllers, ZIP/7z support, background artwork downloads, screenshots and save states. Automatic updates, FFmpeg recording, Lua scripting and Discord presence are disabled in this release profile.

Matching source, dependency notices, SHA256SUMS.txt, a downloads manifest and package-check reports are included. Games and BIOS files are not supplied as part of the executable packages.
