The msys2-build-test (MINGW64) job failed after 28 seconds while downloading MSYS2, before any compilation started. It's unrelated to the changes in this PR. Could a maintainer re-run that job? |

RAOfflineProxy is an Android app that proxies RetroAchievements traffic through
127.0.0.1, enabling offline softcore achievement play through local caching and later sync.On Android, controlling the RetroAchievements host override through a broadcast receiver is a cleaner integration point than relying on external tools to patch
retroarch.cfgdirectly.This makes the host override controllable by another Android app at runtime instead of requiring external file edits, which is more brittle and harder to integrate cleanly.
