#Retroarch buildbot code
Deleted the history of code changes of several code repositories.Put important infrastructure services out of operation.In 2020-August-16, the libretro’s project key infrastructure was the target of a cybercrime attack. “RetroArch was hacked?!” What exactly happened? So, rest assured that by supporting them you’re also supporting RetroAchievements. We, at RetroAchievements, use a lot of the work being done by the libretro project to offer to our community a wide variety of emulated systems supporting RetroAchievements and also a wide variety operating systems where you can play retrogames with achievements. If you want to support them to keep up their awesome work, consider a donation. But they’re still working to move to a more powerful server and better automated backups. So, when it comes to your data, your devices, there’s no need to worry.įortunately the buildbot and the code repositories are mostly restored. The attack that happened last month was aimed at deleting libretro programmers’ work and taking the tools used in their infrastructure out of operation. No malicious code were added to RetroArch, at all. If you prefer to listen to it, check it out here.
#Retroarch buildbot update
Note: this article is almost like a transcript of the RAPodcast’s episode “An Update Regarding Libretro”. Hopefully it can bridge the gap between endusers and the crazy nerds who do the hardwork, creating the tools we use to have a lot of fun.

And in this article I talk a bit about what happened and also try to bring to the knowledge of the RetroAchievements community what exactly the libretro and RetroArch projects really are and why we owe them a big gratitude. Such unfortunate event brought some atention to the project. In August/2020 the infrastructure of the libretro/RetroArch project was the target of a cybercrime attack.
