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

The moment you have been waiting for has come:



Arcade (Final Burn Alpha) support is in!

Get the latest RetriX from https://www.retrix.me/

A few words of warning:

The included Final Burn Alpha is 0.2.97.42. Use romsets for that version or something close enough. And do not rename those zip files, since the core uses filenames to detect which game/system to emulate.

BIOS files (neogeo.zip): your best bet is to get that from a romset - a 0.2.97.39 one should do.

Try getting the dependencies zip file from the RetriX release page on Github.

Extract, go to the appropriate folder for your system (Xbox One is x64) and install the appx files there.

Try installing RetriX again and hopefully it works.
Nice!! Thanks You Absestos I know it wasnt easy for you but you just increased the potential Retrix game library by like 5000 lol
Thanks..

Really nice mate! Yuhu now we can play finally neo geo and Cps 1 2.
If the Psone Emulator is working nice then we have all we need. (maybe the n64 core would be cool too)

Im gonna attempt to publish this on the Windows Store (Mainly for Xbox)
the only reason i will is to test to see if it would even be allowed on xbox
i might have to be deceptive like some of those apps on iOS that normally break the rules

Edit: if this is accepted its an Xbox one only app and due to issues i couldn't use version 1.8 so ill start with 1.4 and gradually go up.

Another Edit: Package acceptance validation error: You cannot submit pre-compiled .NET Native packages. Please upload the Store appxupload file and try again. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=797528 I will take a look into this.

Yet Another Edit: After Many Attempts i Have Given Up.
