when retrogaming comes on a portable console
If, like us in the editorial staff, you are connected with retrogaming, you necessarily know Recalbox. If this is not the case, know that it is quite simply an open-source OS dedicated to retro games. Developed by a team of passionate volunteers, this operating system offers a simple and free solution to replay video games from your childhood directly to your TV.
One of the most accessible and cheapest options for enjoying the joys of emulation is to install the OS on a Raspberry Pi nano-computer. With Recalbox, you will have more than a hundred systems at your disposal. different, from the PlayStation, through the Sega Master System, the Megadrive, the Atari ST, the NES, the Super Nintendo or the Atari 2600. And if you are lost, our friend Fabrice made tutorials tailored…
Little more, thanks to the integrated “scraper”, you can easily find the covers and period descriptions of your favorite titles. In addition, Recalbox offers some nice features, such as “rewinding” which allows you to go back a few seconds in case of a miss during your game. A feature that we would have liked to have had at the time.

Recalbox arrives on Odroid Go Super and Advance
However, the Recalbox team has just announced excellent news. The developers are proud to announce full support for their OS on recent portable consoles Odroid Go Super and Odroid Go Advance from the HardKernel constructor. If you do not know, know that the Odroid Go Super is similar to a Nintendo Switch Lite in design. It offers a mobile emulation solution, in other words it is a portable retro console!
Recalbox has been carefully integrated so that it works like a charm on Odroid Go Super. Players will thus benefit from a general optimization of the system, a native management of the volume and brightness buttons, or even a general optimization of performance and consumption. As for the Odroid Go Advance, it will be necessary to be a little hacker since it will be necessary to assemble this portable console yourself. Rest assured, however, there is nothing really rocket science! Here again, Recalbox has been optimally integrated and offers the same performance as on Odroid Go Super. Another good news is that Recalbox is also compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard-computer!
To celebrate the compatibility of Recalbox on these three machines, OS developers have acquired the distribution rights for nearly 150 games independent to offer them exclusively to users, and all for free! You will be able to feast on LOW DEF, Twin Dragons, Micro Mages or Papi Commando. Who says retrogaming is illegal? At your controls!
