Retro gaming in new TV sets always have the problem of not using the full screen. Personally I don’t like to stretch the image but at the same time I don’t like to have the empty spaces / black bars at the sides. Some emulators put an image to cover the black area but that
In the last weeks we have been making progressive steps to be more open to our users, like publishing our emulator porting libraries in github and allowing users to create their own themes, but we believed that we could do more. So, since today we have opened a forum to hear from you!! In our forums you can
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

As the name suggest, this app will help you manage your files on Android TV devices like the NVIDIA Shield TV, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon FireStick, Xiaomi Mi Box and even generic chinese TV Boxes. This app has been designed to work
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.
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
