(Upcoming) RetroArch 1.7.4 – Details on Discord integration
🕑 Added 2018-08-23 01:09:12 +0000 UTC RetroArch 1.7.4 will have extended Discord RPC integration! Previously before 1.7.4, RetroArch would act as any other game in Discord: as a simple “Playing” status that said you had RetroArch open. It wasn’t very descriptive or helpful other than displaying the name “RetroArch”. With the 1.7.4 update, RetroArch will display more information beyond a simple “Playing” status! Below is the full list of new features this new extended integration brings.- A new “In-Menu” and “In-Game” status that displays whether you’re in the standard RetroArch menu, or playing a game in a libretro core.
- Playing & paused indicators displaying whether or not the currently running core is paused or not.
- Sleek icons based on the Monochrome XMB theme that display what platform your game is running as. This is dependent on the core, not the individual game/content, so there will be case scenarios where it may be wrong (i.e. showing a GameCube icon when you’re playing Super Mario Galaxy in Dolphin).
- A text indicator that displays what platform & core you’re playing under when hovering over the platform icon.
- A text indicator that display what game/content you’re playing. If you chose your game/content from a playlist, it will use the playlist entry’s name instead of the content filename.
- A counter/stopwatch that shows your current session’s playtime when you’re playing a game/content in a libretro core. The counter will pause when the game/content also pauses along with the new playing/paused indicators.v

OK, what kind of granularity would you have in mind? I could propose it then to some of the devs.
Will we be able to choose how much of that info goes through or will it just be all-or-nothing?
