Retro Arcade vNext

Hello Mashtec. I picked up my 353M last week and it reminded me just how fantastic Retro Arcade is. Thanks again. I think its a perfect combination of games, scraping, fontend and OS working in harmony.

Have you considered updating for something like Retroid Pocket 5 with Rocknix and adding some additional 6th and 7th Gen Consoles?

@MashTec thank you for the reply and @waeggy123 thank you for the lengthy response :) What i would say is if it was easy everyone would be doing this! I've spent some time setting up Rocknix on my RP5 .Still, despite my best efforts its not quite the same. Shaders, scaling, hotkeys, controller mapping for different emulators, scraping, ROM re-naming (and ROCKNIX makes this a hell of a lot easier than Android). Then I pick up Retro Arcade on my RG353M and its such a fantastic console like experience. So thanks again!

Some inspiration

Wow 😮 this looks really nice! Well done…i like that theme 😊 as well.

To be honest, setting up the RP5 with Rocknix is tricky to get the best shaders and overlay.

The system is powerful enough for high end shaders and they do not drain the battery like expected.

Even Russ from RGC is discovering every week new shaders and overlays and he packed just a few (best of) in his videos because the development of such things is stepping forward like hell.

I really like the clean names.

What we used for scraping was ARRM http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/file/10-arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager

for which i helped out last year for further improvements to scrape boxart for MuOS which was a nightmare.

This is a powerful tool which has a confusing appearance in first place, but after some times you will have the best benefit when you want to organize your Rom Collection. Videos and images can be compressed to save space, the possibility to get the full boxart even for aftermarket games is impressive.

This tool was a part of Retro Arcade which helped us to minimize the size of boxart which allowed us to add more games.
