Android development and the future of RetroX

Franco Catrin April 16, 2020 Development No Comments

I wanted to share some thoughts about the recent bad news of LaunchBox for Android being discontinued. I’ve read their forum post and wow, what they describe is exactly what I have been dealing with Android all these years while developing RetroX for it. I decided to write this post before some questions arrive, reading

Automapped controllers and touchscreen overlays

Franco Catrin December 20, 2019 Development No Comments

From 2.9.0 you can just grab any controller and start playing. Another player is joining? Just grab another controller, press a button and start playing. ONLY if your gamepad has a weird configuration you may need to teach RetroX how your button works (map the buttons). The good thing is that you only need to do

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

Franco Catrin April 11, 2017 Community No Comments

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.

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
