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

Just released a new version with several bug fixes, in particular:

- Fixed CD based PC Engine games, added new entry to main page to run them
- Moved BIOS check before attempting to load game. This prevents crashes from the less well behaved cores
- Updated emulator cores to latest versions from Libretro

You can get it from the usual place

@dominater01 Well, this is awkward... not even time to announce the new release for myself :P

Just as you said, new release with PC-FX - that system tanked hard so there are not many games available for it.

Also tried to get a different Saturn core working but no luck so far :(

yea sorry about that im watching that github like a hawk so i wanted to let people know

so is the mupen64 core not working either?

gonna try the pc-fx anyway so i can test it out and to make a video on it

edit: there seems to be audio silence when selecting a second game unless you close out of retrix open it back up then select another game for pc fx
