cygeric Glad you like it. I have paused almost all projects due to time and money constraint as of now. As for Batocera 38, it will be a lot of work. On my PC, the build alone takes 3 days to complete. Moreover, if you are on a Pro, I will also have to work on making the latest versions of Mesa, for which I would need to get a PS4 Pro. I did plan on starting a fundraiser for it, but, due to low response, I decided to delay it. Here's the poll - https://x.com/Noob404yt/status/1801145841165668863
Coming back to Batocera 38, I can try to build the latest Batocera with older known working versions of Mesa. The performance difference (if at all any) would be negligible. But, that again, will take atleast a month or so and a proportionate amount of money to fund it. If you are interested in taking this further, join the Discord server (link in sidebar) and DM me there (please do mention you are from the forums) and also leave a reply here saying that you DMed me.
