Plans for RetroX v3: Theme support

Franco Catrin April 11, 2017 Development No Comments

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about why other frontends are so popular while they are only “front-ends”. Don’t take me wrong, I know that they have a lot of work behind, but I honestly think that RetroX is way ahead of most Android frontends in terms of ease of use and features. Only that

RetroX open source emulators and libs now on github

Franco Catrin March 27, 2017 Development No Comments

RetroX is not an emulator in itself, but a front end for existing emulators.  There are many front ends for emulators but what makes RetroX different is that the emulators have been modified to meet “the RetroX standard” like having support for custom controls, Android TV devices, RetroX save/load progress and more. These modifications are possible because

Release 2.6.5 - Golden Eye - Better controls for N64

Franco Catrin March 26, 2017 Development No Comments

One of our targets has been make things as simple as possible, this included making the gamepad configurations less painful providing a centralized mechanism: Set up your controller once and for all. But sometimes underlying details makes it hard to apply one rule for all, and that’s the case of the N64 controller (read The law

When will my favorite emulator be added to RetroX?

Franco Catrin March 3, 2017 Development No Comments

This is such a frequently received question, that we felt it deserved a dedicated response. Regular launchers only need to send the ROM file to the emulator, nothing else. In this sense, adding emulators would be a simple enough process. However, RetroX is a truly unique “frontend”, that can do so much more. Often front

Release 2.6.2: MAME and FBA ROM handling improvements

Franco Catrin February 21, 2017 Development No Comments

New RetroX release. Codename: A-MAME. Many users – including me – suffered when trying to play MAME or FBA games without using a full ROM set. This was because these games can be splitted into several files: One main .zip file plus several small files containing just the differences for region specific versions, bootlegs, etc.

Cloud based save states

Franco Catrin May 20, 2016 Development No Comments

RetroBoxTV “God save the states” release is finally out! This is the first update that brings some features ONLY for Activated Accounts (AA). This is because the new features will increase the load in our servers, and some features don’t make sense to free users anyway because they see only a few games. The main
