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

It's good to see that at least it's working now. It will get better in time of course. I'm gonna try and hook @Absestos up with an Xbox One

Yeah it's still nice to see don't get me wrong :) @Absestos should be able to get a 2nd hand Xbox for £120. If we could just raise that it would be something or he could see if Retroarch are willing to donate a Xbox to the cause?

I'm honestly dissappointed that out of the 8500+ people who have viewed this thread only myself and @jirkawaggon have donated to his gofundme campaign. Can we really not do better as a community?
That is what I was writting about. This campaign must interest wide public. It must be shocking and engage. This will be best reached by adding well know console like Mame, Gamecube, PS2, Saturn, Jaguar, Atari 2600 etc. Therefore I suggest editing text on https://www.gofundme.com/retrix :
"I want add emulation of MAME, Sega Saturn and ....consoles for Xbox ONE“ and "on this link http://www.mediafire.com/file/1qgq9gqf6j4d1lx/Retrix+-+Retroarch+Xbox+One.zip you can download first version of Retrix. At this time it can emulate NES, SNES.... Another consoles will be implement, but it depend on your support“.

PS: Truest me hat it will help (and it is zero cost)

Well that just depends on alot of factors. @Absestos can only promise something if it's actually doable. Mame, Saturn, Jaguar, Atari are all definitley within reach. PS2 and Gamecube is where it get's dicey

Psx box is some what behind then

The developer working on our backend (PSXACT) is stuck in development hell at the moment. Retrix now has support for PS1 and in the future it will get even better. If PSX-BOX happens it happens but it's contigent upon if Adam moves past the problems he's having.

like without slowdown? did you use the release or the source code?

I tested FFVII on PC x64 Release Build (No Slowdown)
Xbox One I tried to launch FFVII and it wouldn't even launch

Other than that Marvel vs Capcom and Crash Team Racing both worked although they were both a tad slow
