This bumps the RetroArch version to 1.22.x from 1.19.0. The RetroPie module changed with: - RGUI border is removed in the default configuration. - New version enables a 'linear' interpolation by default, which blurs the menu for RGUI, so disable it - Reset/Quit require confirmation now and their option names have been renamed, so make sure they're updated in existing configs and new default config. - Enable saving the remaps sorted by controller name in new default configs. Seems natural given that remaps use the underlying physical controller indexes for axis/buttons, which are controller dependant. See libretro/RetroArch#16747 for details. NB: this is a breaking change from the existing/default behavior of RetroArch, but is not applied to existing configurations, just for new insallations. - Now the Pipewire is supported as audio server, add the dependencies to build with it on desktop. Add the driver to the configuration editor, so it can be selected. - Due to changes in the build scripts, when GLES(2) is enabled then OpenGL1 should be disabled. Release announcements for the new versions: - 1.22 (Nov 2025) followed up by 1.22.1 and 1.22.2 in the same month.
