Some Checks Have Failed or Are Not Yet Complete
Not All Tests Have Passed
This package was rejected on 15 Oct 2021. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):
RetroArch is a frontend for libretro, an open API which exposes the functionality of a game, emulator or certain kinds of multimedia applications. libretro started as libsnes with the SNES emulator bSNES, but libretro has since become a far broader API. RetroArch builds around the libretro API to provide a powerful interface for libretro cores.
Package Parameters
The following package parameters can be set:
/InstallDir:{path}
- Installation directory, defaults to{tools-location}
(typicallyC:\tools
)/InstallationPath:{path}
- Alias for/InstallDir
/DesktopShortcut
- Add shortcut for RetroArch to the desktop.
Notes
If a custom installation directory is used for RetroArch, shims will still be created for retroarch.exe
and retroarch_debug.exe
on the path so that RetroArch can be started from the command line as with prior versions of this package.
As of v1.9.1, the packaging method used by the RetroArch developers has changed. RetroArch now installs in its own RetroArch-Win32
or RetroArch-Win64
directory within the installation directory. This was not accounted for in the Chocolatey package until v1.9.4. If you have an older version of RetroArch installed, you may wish to uninstall it completely and then reinstall with Chocolatey instead of performing a simple upgrade.
Since v1.7.7 was released, the libretro/RetroArch developers have been uploading new builds without always updating the version. If you get checksum errors while installing RetroArch, this has probably happened again. Just let us know via the Contact Maintainers link and a new package should be up on Chocolatey shortly after.

retroarch has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Notes
Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

We've found retroarch v1.9.8 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.
Take action:
If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.
Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move retroarch v1.9.8 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.
Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.
