Over the years, the solutions offered by Recalbox have continued to grow, on one hand through software updates that make emulation ever more complete, accessible, and customizable, and on the other through the development of hardware solutions.

With the launch of the RGB Dual, a true adventure began, driven by your enthusiasm. The arrival of the Raspberry Pi 5 then allowed us to go even further with the RGB Dual 2, followed by the Card Reader, all designed to be housed inside the Recaltower (without forgetting the JAMMA 2, which is not covered in this article).

Solutions tailored to every need

These hardware solutions are designed to adapt to a wide range of configurations and, above all, to different user needs. However, for newcomers, the variety of possible setups can sometimes be confusing, with the fear of purchasing the wrong kit or add-on for their current configuration.

That’s why we’re providing the diagram below to guide you. Rather than long explanations open to interpretation, this graphic will help you identify your current setup, the one you’re aiming for, and the hardware required to get there.

Store, guidance, and Patron benefits

The kits and add-ons shown in this diagram are available on the store, where we’ve made every effort to be as clear as possible. Of course, if you have any questions, we invite you to join our Discord to chat with the Recalbox community and the team, who will be happy to guide you.

Finally, if you support the project via Patreon, don’t forget that you benefit from a 10% discount on the entire store by using the code available in your Patron space. Keep this in mind, especially if you order a Card Reader, which comes with a RecalCard collector thanks to the Patron code.
