During a two-month period, Notas As contributed to the libretro/RetroArch repository by implementing memory optimizations and UI stability improvements using C programming and embedded systems expertise. They developed a feature to disable savestate undo for the Old3DS pcsx_rearmed core, reducing memory usage by up to 18MB and improving performance on low-RAM devices through buffer and state management refinements. In addition, Notas As addressed a graphics widget bug by correcting text wrapping logic, enhancing rendering fidelity and user experience. Their work demonstrated a focused approach to memory management, graphics programming, and cross-component consistency, resulting in measurable stability and compatibility gains.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for libretro/RetroArch: Implemented Savestate Undo Disable for Old3DS pcsx_rearmed and RAM optimizations, delivering measurable memory reductions and stability improvements on low-RAM devices. Key work includes reducing memory buffers for savestate operations, optimizing RAM state load/save paths, and cleaning up duplicate logic. Build-level improvements include enabling Makefile.ctr gc-sections to free ~160KB RAM. The core can now disable savestate undo, potentially reducing ~18MB of memory under pressure, enabling better PSX emulation on constrained hardware. All changes are aligned with delivering higher stability, performance, and broader hardware compatibility.
