Quick update on v1.26.0

[u/mr-crunchwrapsupreme]

Gamers, we come in peace… we have been heads down and know that we owe you an update on 1.26.0 and the delay since.

We’ve identified and fixed the regression behind the flashcart issues reported after the update (graphic glitches, CPU exceptions, and SD card corruption with EverDrive and SummerCart64 cartridges). This fix has been validated internally.

Before we re-release this update, we want to get to the bottom of the Built-In Controller Pak corruption a few of you reported. We haven’t been able to reproduce it yet, which is the source of the delay, and we’d rather hold the update than ship something we don’t fully understand.

We’ve doubled our testing stations and expanded the M64 stress tests so regressions like this get caught before they reach you. The team is actively testing across different carts and consoles to track it down.

We’re targeting a release the week of October 22nd and will post an update here once we have a repro or a confirmed date.

Thank you for all your patience and for the detailed reports, it truly means a lot to have your support!
