RePlay OS v1.6.4 – Touchscreen Support

If you’ve ever found yourself squinting at a tiny Raspberry Pi screen while trying to navigate menus with a controller, developer RTA just handed you a massive win.
The latest RePlay OS update (v1.6.4) has officially introduced touchscreen support. This means if your setup includes a touch-sensitive display, you can finally ditch the buttons and interact with your retro library more intuitively. It’s a small change that makes the whole handheld or desktop experience feel much more modern.
But the “Alpha Player” got some serious love, too. The built-in video player is now much smarter, featuring new zoom modes (hello, 21:9 and ultra-wide support!) and adjustable frame blending to make your playback look smoother. They’ve also cleaned up subtitle handling and added better audio track selection.
A quick heads-up on the upgrade path:
- Running v1.6.0 or higher? You can update directly through the RePlayOS GUI via your network. Easy peasy.
- On an older version? You’ll need to do a fresh MicroSD re-flash.
It’s a meaty update that makes the OS feel more polished and flexible than ever.
