Not much in the way of features for this release, but I've been mulling a little something along the way:

This release is available as an OTA update via the Quark Store, see here for instructions. Alternatively, use the Quark-v1.4.0-Updater.7z package and extract it to the root of your Quark microSD card and launch the Updater app.

A FULL version is also available, containing every non-port Gluon made as of the making of this release, installable within the Quark Burner for Windows or manually.

Features

  • New Quark Light theme included, think of it as like a light mode!
    • Note: There are some visual bugs in the WiFi and Bluetooth menus as well as Device Info due to how MainUI is coded.
  • Added KMFDManic's MAME 2003 Xtreme core as an alternative for MAME arcade emulation favouring performance over accuracy and with custom OST support!
  • Added the Nestopia core as an alternative for NES and FDS emulation, should improve ROM hack compatibility.
  • Additional global hotkeys
    • Hold SELECT+START for 10 seconds to reboot your device
    • Press SELECT + MENU + R to take a screenshot! Note that this will not work within RetroArch, please use the RetroArch screenshot hotkey instead for that case.

Changes

  • Removed red title shadow from default Quark theme
  • Updater packages now use Zstandard compression instead of zip, for smaller update file sizes at the same or slightly faster decompression speed
  • Updater now sets CPU mode to overclock to boost processing speed
  • Store cache is now removed on boot
  • The RetroArch launch script will now force-disable netplay if WiFi is disabled system-wide
  • TIC-80 no longer stretches to 4:3
  • Updated RetroArch cores
  • Some more MainUI string changes
