ROMs go into the 'roms' directory, or some subdirectory in the 'RetroArch-XB1'directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOW TO USE THIS------------------------------------------------------------------------------On first startup, RetroArch will select one of the dozen or soemulator/game cores. The name of the core currently loaded will beshown at the bottom side of the screen. You can now select a ROM that this core supports and load it in the Filebrowser. There are two ways of selecting a different core: 1) 'Change Libretro core' in the Main Menu Go to the Settings menu by pressing [select], go forwards two pages by pressinghe [R Trigger] until you come across 'Default libretro core'. Press A to go toa filebrowser where you can select a different core. Press [A button] to switchto the emulator/game core. 2) From the Ingame Menu While playing a game, press the [Right Thumb] button. Select 'Change libretro core'with the [A button] and select a different core. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------INGAME CONTROLS------------------------------------------------------------------------------During ingame operation you can do some extra actions: Right Thumb Stick - Down - Fast-forwards the gameRight Thumb Stick - Up - Rewinds the game in real-time ('Rewind' has to be enabled in the 'Settings' screen - warning - comes at a slight performance decrease but will be worth it if you love this feature)RStick Left + RT - Decrease save state slotRtick Right + RT - Increase save state slotRStick Up + RT - Load selected save state slotRStick Down + RT - Save selected save state slotRight Thumb + Left Thumb - Go back to 'Menu'/'Quick Menu' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------FILE BROWSER EXTRA CONTROLS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left Trigger - Go to previous drive mappingRight Trigger - Go to next drive mapping White - Scroll list upBlack - Scroll list down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT IS RETROARCH?------------------------------------------------------------------------------RetroArch is a modular multi-system emulator system that is designed tobe fast, lightweight and portable. It has features few other emulatorfrontends have, such as real-time rewinding and game-aware shading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT IS LIBRETRO?------------------------------------------------------------------------------Libretro is the API that RetroArch uses. It makes it easy to port gamesand emulators to a single core backend, such as RetroArch. For the user, this means - more ports to play with, more crossplatformportability, less worrying about developers having to reinvent the wheelwriting boilerplate UI/port code - so that they can get busy with writingthe emulator/porting the emulator/game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?------------------------------------------------------------------------------Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores onmultiple systems (such as Xbox 360, Xbox 1, PS3, PC, Wii, etc). For each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that welike to call 'libretro'. Think of libretro as an interface for emulator and game ports. You canmake a libretro port once and expect the same code to run on all theplatforms that RetroArch supports. It's designed with simplicity andease of use in mind so that the porter can worry about the port at handinstead of having to wrestle with an obfuscatory API. The purpose of libretro is to help ease the work of the emulator/gameporter by giving him an API that allows him to target multiple platformsat once without having to redo any code. He doesn't have to worry aboutwriting input/video/audio drivers - all of that is supplied to him byRetroArch. All he has to do is to have the emulator port hook into thelibretro API and that's it - we take care of the rest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------XBOX 1 PORT------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Xbox 1 port of RetroArch has the following features: - Real-time rewinding.- Switching between emulator cores seamlessly, and ability to installnew libretro cores ------------------------------------------------------------------------------EMULATOR/GAME CORES BUNDLED WITH XBOX 1 PORT------------------------------------------------------------------------------The following emulators/games have been ported to RetroArch and are included inthe Xbox 1 release of RetroArch.

Most of them have been specifically optimized so thatthey will run better on Xbox 1 (some games would not reach fullspeedwithout these optimizations). * - VBA Next doesn't run at fullspeed on Wii (VBA Next is a RetroConsoleLevel 2 emulator port). It will be replaced by a port of gpSP in the nearfuture.** - SuperFX games will not run at fullspeed - a special version of SNES9xwill be developed for Retro Console Level 1 systems.*** The biggest Neo-Geo ROMs that can be loaded are around 23+MB insize, such as Real Bout Fatal Fury 1 and King of Fighters '96. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT EXTENSIONS ARE SUPPORTED BY EACH CORE------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prboom WAD|wad- SNES9x Next smc|fig|sfc|gd3|gd7|dx2|bsx|swc|zip|SMC|FIG|SFC|BSX|GD3| GD7|DX2|SWC- Genesis Plus GX md|smd|bin|gen|zip|MD|SMD|bin|GEN|ZIP|sms|SMS|gg|GG|sg|SG| cue|CUE- VBA Next GBA|gba- FCEUmm nes|NES|unif|UNIF- NEStopia nes|NES|fds|FDS- Gambatte gb|gbc|dmg|zip|GB|GBC|DMG|ZIP- Final Burn Alpha zip|ZIP- Mednafen PCE pce|PCE|cue|CUE- Mednafen Wonderswan ws|WS|wsc|WSC- Mednafen PCE pce|PCE|cue|CUE- Mednafen Wonderswan ws|WS|wsc|WSC- Mednafen NGP ngp|NGP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ZIP SUPPORT------------------------------------------------------------------------------Selecting a ZIP file will temporarily unzip that file to the harddrive.
