Panasonic 3DO
Hi friends! We are happy to present you a new often unrecognized console and yet with outstanding performances at its release: the Panasonic 3DO! Unfortunately, this new system will only be available for Odroid XU4 and PC X86 / X86_64 versions of Recalbox. Indeed, on Raspberry PI, even the 3, we don’t get a satisfactory emulation and that even using the lowest settings + the activation of a frameskip. As a result, we have decided not to activate this system in other versions of Recalbox. ... [ read more ]

Nintendo DS on X86
Hi pals, It is time to welcome a new emulated system on X86/X86_64 Recalbox version: the Nintendo DS ! So, we have added 2 new libretro cores to do this job. The libretro desmume core and the libretro melonDS core based on a new Nintendo DS emulator. To emulate this new system you must have a good hardware. We have configured desmume core to work on most current setups, but if you don’t have a fullspeed emulation, you can try to “downgrade” settings in retroarch menu (downgrade internal resolution, add a frameskip, etc…). ...

Recalbox 17.12.02

Hi!

We released the 17.12.01 version last Friday and some people detected some lags while browsing games and even while playing.

This was due to the steam controller service that was always started on boot, even if you don’t have a steam controller.

We fixed that behavior, and you can now upgrade your recalbox to 17.12.02.

For a fresh install, download recalbox images on archive.recalbox.com

So to fix this issue, we added the libretro mednafen psx cores. The mednafen_psx_hw core is Enhanced OpenGL Version with OpenGL renderer. It needs at least an OpenGL 3.1 compatible GPU. If your hardware is not compatible, you can use the standard mednafen_psx core. ... [ read more ]
