RetroX now supports cheats

Franco Catrin January 19, 2019 Uncategorized No Comments

One of the features that people have requested since the beginning of RetroX is the support for cheats. RetroArch and many MAME emulators have this feature included so a lot of people take it for granted, now RetroX has joined the club. As always, RetroX makes it really easy to enable cheats for your games,

Broken updates or installs with recent Oreo updates

Franco Catrin December 21, 2018 Uncategorized No Comments

This is important: We found a problem with recent Android Oreo updates: The system allowed RetroX to install one or two emulators then stopped installing anything else. The behaviour that you can see is that RetroX will prepare to install an emulator and then it does nothing, or sometimes the install window is seen on

Current status of Amiga emulation in Oreo

Franco Catrin December 6, 2018 Blog, Development No Comments

The Oreo release of Android broke several emulators and most of them have been fixed up to this date, but one particular exception is the Amiga emulator (UAE2All2) which will require more time to fix, or as an alternative, be replaced by a new emulator. Some fixes in Oreo made some hidden bugs become evident

Live background and new YouTube channel

Franco Catrin June 28, 2017 Development No Comments

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

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
