Retrix(LibretroRT) is a massive project aimed at porting all libretro cores to UWP. It currently supports Nes,Snes,Sega Master System,Sega Game gear, Sega CD, sg 1000, Playstation, Gameboy, Gameboy advance, and many more to be ported soon. This guide will cover installing Retrix for your xbox one console.


[1.] Download ProjectPgeasus (If you already have ProjectPegasus this step doesn't apply)
https://github.com/wiired24/ProjectPegasus/raw/master/ProjectPegasusSetup.exe





[2.] Once Installed just open it up and select RetriX. Now just wait for it to download. All you have to do now is Sideload Retrix on to your Xbox One (If you don't know how, follow the full guide here https://github.com/wiired24/ProjectPegasus/blob/master/binaries/Installing APPX Packages.pdf )

[3.] Enjoy! :yayone:

Retrix brings with it support for local 2 player something we have not had until now. It also opens the floodgates to every single emulator that is currently inside the scope of the libretro project. You can see a full list here https://github.com/libretro

I had been sitting on releasing Retrix for quite a bit now but it has finally reached a point where it is stable enough for release. Credit goes to Albertofustonini for creating and maintaining the Retrix Project. Credit also goes to @kingtut for advocating for a Libretro/Retroarch port for Xbox One. You can follow current development on the official github page https://github.com/Aftnet/LibretroRT

If he sets up a fundraising campaign I will share it both on this page, and in my signature.

i am guessing the filestream will be used to download and update cores on the app itself. visual studio has a debugger.

Do you think that is possible emulate PS2 games on Xbox ONE?
And what about Gamecube games on Xbox ONE?
Game cube may not be a possibility until we get mouse and keyboard support so we can make some kind of interpret ur Ps I am working on a Jodie port

According to the people working on retrix, gamecube is a possibility, ps2 is going to be hard since the only emulator right now is pcsx2 which apparently doesn't go well with retroarch. your best bet for ps2 emulator is wait until play! becomes more stable. in terms of resources they are both possible.

You are great!
When can we expect the ability of playing PS2 or (and) GameCube games?
If you are talking to me, I assure you I do not deserve this credit. I only look at other people's code and add to it. That being said, I am observing retrix all day for any updates. If I figure out a way to translate more cores, I would help and do it. Right now I am still working on ppsspp to add more stability to it.

This means that you looks for source code of a emulator and then you compile to core?

BTW: thank you for your work on RETRIX emulator!

oh in this way tahnks all peoples who work om Retrix :-)

Btw: here is notice from MAME creators (thx Vas Crabb), it may be helpfull:
There is no special UWP SDK for MAME. You need to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 with the UWP SDK, as well as the MSYS64 build tools used to build MAME normally. Then you can make the vs2015_uwp target to generate project files to build MAME for UWP.

ATTENTION: Retrix is coming along good but the developer is reaching out to the community for help. Currently he is looking to raise funds for obtaining hardware (Xbox One) as well as the money needed for certificates. If you like Retrix and want development to progress further I ask that you consider donating any amount even if it's just $5 to the campaign. Anything will help. I'll leave a link to the gofundme below

Yeah, I was talking about adding more cores in the future, But I Haven't done anything on retrix yet. The only thing I can do right now is edit the controls of retrix correctly
