How to install Retrix (Retroarch/Libretro port) for Xbox One

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

what about screen size is that even possible without updating all cores????
I think it is possible if I understand the code, asbestos can correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand of the code. each emulator has separate files for video and input, etc. and that is the reason why game boy advance has bigger screen than other emulators, my only problem is I do not know how to enforce it because there are a lot of variables that are labeled resolution and I do not know which one I should change

doesnt play any of them i tried coleco and msx and they say there not supported

yeah same here, I tried all the different console folders and only the one in the 'roms' folder work for me.
would be awesome if the other consoles worked

not sure why some of the roms play sideways, like 1942. is there a way to correct this?

also, I noticed with roms there are so many different files for the same game, for ex. for altered beast, I see an altbeast, altbeast2, altbeast4, etc.
and only certain ones work. do you guys usually just delete the ones that don't work? do you need all of them in there?

Believe me the last thing you want is the app saving bios files into a cloud storage account linked to your identity, for legal reasons.

It is also why I do not join conversations or answer questions related to bios files. The most i can say is what those files should hash to in order to work.

Now that we have our own "Xbox One - Hacking and Homebrew" Section:

All future discussion of RetriX not related to "How do I install Retrix" should be directed to the official RetriX thread here

anyway to add gamesaves to cloud storage so when we update or delete the emulator it would sync back to the emulator

im sure im not the only one who wants/needs this feature

That is also not a good idea: savestates are basically memory dumps from the cores, which means that sharing between devices (sometimes even versions of the same core) can be impossible. The whole app just crashes.

Encouraging sharing means way more people encountering issues.

I'm trying to install this but I'm getting this error:

Believe i found a weird bug to this mod, when you plug in a wired controller to the Xbox One and try to play, the controller will not work on any controller, also i have a question about this mod, will stuff such as Atari 2600,5200,7800. Atari 8 Bit, Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx be added, also i am interested in Coleco, Intelivision, MAME, Nintendo 64(read this is in the works), Virtual Boy, ZX Spectrum Commandore 64, and the Amiga, well actually let me put it like this please bring as much as the RetroPie to the Xbox One as you can, saves me time from plugging up my pi, as i believe Xbox One can handle all the Pi has to offer, i will push this to, I wouldn't mind Game Cube, Playstation 2 and Wii as well, i read yes you guys stated it is pushing, Saturn and Dreamcast a must, and 3DO as well.

One more question i notice the Nintendo DS is there, so i am wondering does it run pretty well, and how does the pointer work, i have not added no games for it yet, just the NES and SNES so far, as i want full library, i am huge emulation freak.

One more, is MS-DOS compatible or Windows 95?

Please consider posting in the RetriX General Disucssion thread. Since we have our own "Hacking and Homebrew" section now we are moving away from the tutorials section.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/libretro-retroarch-on-xbox-one.483852/

As far as all of the systems you are wanting @Absestos is the man you want to talk to he is in charge of the RetriX project and responsible for adding future cores. Currently he is busy helping the RetroArch Maintainers so it may be a bit before new cores are added to RetriX. I can already tell you that due to limitations of the hardware in Dev Mode PS2, and Gamecube likely won't happen. As for MAME, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Amiga, Commodore etc I'm sure they will down the line. Right now Parralell64 is implemented in RetriX however @Absestos hasn't had any luck in getting the core to work correctly. I have not tested NDS so I cannot speak on the performance of it maybe @dominater01 knows?
