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

Retrix covers most of the old systems at full speed:
nes, sms, snes, gba, PCE, Sega CD, neo-geo etc...
Final Burn alpha in Retrix is pretty dope, probably the best emu so far. I had some slowdowns on CPS-3 games, but overall very good.

- Rom selection is barebones, no software yet to scan and generate/sort lists yet.
- Cannot change controls yet.
- No scanline filters/sizing settings.

PS1 is too slow so far, however it is being worked on.

PPSSPP is better than expected, I got a few games at 3x resolution at 60fps:

Def Jam Vendetta
Warriors Orochi 2
Peggle

Emulator itself has been wildly inconsistent for years compatibility-wise. Some games run great, others will struggle and more won't load at all.

Haven't tested N64.

Dreamcast emu rumored in development (some people say it's BS)
Some people want Dolphin ported.

Personally, I would kill to get Saturn emu up and running, however I don't think it's being worked on.

if you have a hard drive, sometimes he means (not enough space on interior memory)

Ive installed roms to my internal via file explorer on retail version, i just copied them across from my external and put them all in folders inside the documents folder. When i go back into dev mode open up retrix and go to documents it shows as empty yet in retail version i can see all my files. Anyone have any ideas why?

You have to install the roms to your Dev Mode File Manager

Mega drive games must be in correct format.
