Recalbox is a project that aims to lower the emulation scene's entry barrier, with features that promote ease-of-use as well as having a simple out-of-box experience. The OS includes many open-source games on the first installation and is free of copyrighted content (such as licensed ROMs, system BIOSes, etc.). Unless explicitly authorized, Recalbox is forbidden to be resold or used for any commercial purpose, as stated in its own user license agreements.LICENSE.md · master · recalbox / recalbox https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md 2021-04-12 GitLab en, as well as the license agreements of the RetroArch/libretro project Libretro Docs - Licenses https://docs.libretro.com/development/licenses/ 2021-04-12 docs.libretro.com enof which Recalbox is based upon. History Recalbox was launched in January 2015 by digitalLumberjack after his sister expressed the desire to play old video games from their childhood. At that time, the emulation scene had already been established, but digitalLumberjack believed that the current offerings were too complex and difficult for the general public. With this in mind, digitalLumberjack spent a few weeks during Christmas of 2014 to develop a solution that could easily be used by many people. The goal was to create an interface that never required a keyboard or mouse to interact with. He immediately decided to make the project free and open-source, in order to make the video game community more accessible, as well as to recruit additional people for development support. As of 2020, Recalbox is composed of a dozen regular developers, a community manager, around 30 beta testers, and about 50 occasional contributors (in charge of translation, graphics, videos, web management), all of whom are volunteers on the projectWhere can we find this information?. Technology thumb|Recalbox is compatible with microcomputers such as the Raspberry Pi Recalbox is built on the success of the low-cost Raspberry Pi microcomputer. The idea is to offer an all-in-one retro gaming solution with a plug and play user experience. Unlike other solutions, such as Retropie, Recalbox is not based on a pre-compiled Linux distribution (such as Raspberry Pi OS), but instead starts from a blank slate, using Buildroot. This allows Recalbox's developers to build a custom operating system with full control over its content, only adding what is deemed necessary. Projects featured in Recalbox Recalbox is built on an array of many independent components (emulator cores), brought together using a graphical interface, the EmulationStation frontend. The operating system also includes the Kodi media center which can be navigated entirely with a game controller or keyboard.recalbox.com https://www.recalbox.com/ 2021-04-12 www.recalbox.com It possible to switch between Kodi and the Recalbox interface directly from the menus, without having to reboot. External projects Many external projects are integrated into the Recalbox system, often modified to fit the needs of its ecosystem (standardizing interfaces or controls): amiberry dolphin-emu dosbox kodi gsplus libretro-2048 libretro-81 libretro-atari800 libretro-beetle-lynx libretro-beetle-ngp libretro-beetle-pce-fast libretro-beetle-pcfx libretro-beetle-psx libretro-beetle-psx-hw libretro-beetle-saturn libretro-beetle-supergrafx libretro-beetle-vb libretro-beetle-wswan libretro-bluemsx libretro-boom3 libretro-cannonball libretro-cap32 libretro-cheats libretro-craft libretro-crawl libretro-crocods libretro-desmume libretro-dinothawr libretro-duckstation libretro-easyrpg libretro-ecwolf libretro-fbneo libretro-fceumm libretro-fceunext libretro-flycast libretro-fmsx libretro-freechaf libretro-freeintv libretro-fuse libretro-gambatte libretro-gearsystem libretro-genesisplusgx libretro-gpsp libretro-gw libretro-handy libretro-hatari libretro-imageviewer libretro-kronos libretro-lutro libretro-mame libretro-mame2000 libretro-mame2003 libretro-mame2003-plus libretro-mame2010 libretro-mame2015 libretro-mame2016 libretro-melonds libretro-mesen libretro-mesen-s libretro-meteor libretro-mgba libretro-minivmac libretro-mrboom libretro-mu libretro-mupen64plus libretro-mupen64plus-nx libretro-nestopia libretro-np2kai libretro-nxengine libretro-o2em libretro-opera libretro-parallel-n64 libretro-pcsx_rearmed libretro-picodrive libretro-pokemini libretro-prboom libretro-prosystem libretro-px68k libretro-quasi88 libretro-quicknes libretro-race libretro-reminiscence libretro-retrodream libretro-sameboy libretro-scummvm libretro-snes9x libretro-snes9x2002 libretro-snes9x2005 libretro-snes9x2010 libretro-stella libretro-stella2014 libretro-tgbdual libretro-theodore libretro-thepowdertoy libretro-tic80 libretro-tyrquake libretro-uae libretro-uzem libretro-vecx libretro-vice libretro-virtualjaguar libretro-vitaquake2 libretro-vitaquake3 libretro-vitavoyager libretro-xmil libretro-xrick libretro-yabasanshiro libretro-yabause linapple-pie mupen64plus openbor oricutron pcsx_rearmed pifba pisnes ppsspp reicast residualvm retroarch scummvm simcoupe solarus-recalbox List of external projects used in Recalbox Internal projects The Recalbox operating system also relies on projects developed in-house, including: recalbox-emulationstation2 (customized EmulationStation) recalbox-configgen recalbox-hardware (automatic hardware detector and configurator) recalbox-manager2 (web manager for modifying Recalbox via a web browser) recalbox-romfs recalbox-themes (theme manager) Hardware compatibility As of version 7.1.1 Reloaded, Recalbox is compatible with the Raspberry Pi family (Zero, 1, 2, 3, 4, 400), in addition to the ODROID line of boards (XU4, XU4Q, as well as the GO Advance and GO Super handheldsGavois Sébastien 2021-02-26 Recalbox 7.1.1 supporte les Odroid Go Advance, Go Super et le Raspberry Pi 400 https://www.inpact-hardware.com/article/2343/recalbox-7-1-1-supporte-odroid-go-advance-go-super-et-raspberry-pi-400 live 2021-04-14 www.inpact-hardware fr).

These are collections of ROMs that have no defects or modifications. In this way, these ROMs are near identical to the original cartridge. The goal of these romsets is to avoid bad dumps, romhacks, fakes, overdumps, underdumps, or duplicates. Unlike typical console roms, which are usually compatible as soon as you match the required file format, arcade systems work differently. The version of the arcade romset must match the version of the emulator used, or the games will not launch. The romset differs depending on the core you are usingApril 2021 French Wikipedia links to gitbook documentation, but the link is longer valid. Needs updating..
