From October 25 to 26, the Replay Festival opens its doors in Mouans-Sartoux for its 13th edition. Two days of total immersion in pop culture and video games from the 70s to the 2000s. And good news: Recalbox will be there!

Three members of the Recalbox team (Makhstorr, Zucco, and Bkg2k) will be making the trip with a booth that’s sure to attract enthusiasts. On the menu: four RGB Dual 2 units running on CRT screens for an authentic experience, two Recalbox systems in HDMI — one in TATE (vertical) configuration perfect for shoot’em ups — and the icing on the cake, two original vintage machines: a Panasonic FS-A1 MSX2 and a Sega SC-3000, sure to delight retro hardware fans. As a small bonus for arcade lovers, a mini wooden arcade cabinet (by Patman) in TATE will also be on display.

RGB Dual 2 in the spotlight

If you’ve never seen an RGB Dual 2 in action, this is the perfect opportunity! This board developed by Recalbox is specially designed to provide a true analog RGB output for CRT screens. No more compromises: you’ll enjoy pixel-perfect visuals, vibrant colors, and the natural scanlines of original arcade cabinets and consoles.

Whether you’re nostalgic for the arcades and consoles of the 90s or simply curious to see what a true RGB signal looks like on a CRT display, you’re in for a treat. The team will be there to explain the setup, the different available outputs (RGB SCART, composite, etc.), and share their passion with you.

As a bonus, our TATE configuration will let you experience vertical shoot’em ups in their native format — exactly as they were in the arcade cabinets of the time. From Ikaruga to Dodonpachi, the experience is nothing like a horizontal screen!

Original vintage hardware

To complete the experience, we’ll also be showcasing two authentic vintage machines: a Panasonic FS-A1 MSX2 (the Japanese standard that conquered Europe in the 80s) and a Sega SC-3000 (Sega’s very first foray into the home computer market in 1983). A great opportunity to see these original systems running live.

Come play and chat

Our booth will be a true space for discovery and exchange. Whether you’re already a Recalbox user, curious to learn about the project, or simply passionate about retrogaming, the team will be thrilled to meet you. Technical questions, installation tips, or discovering the latest features — this is the perfect chance to get hands-on with the hardware and see what Recalbox can do for you.

The Replay Festival takes place at the Gymnase René Friard and Gymnase La Chênaie in Mouans-Sartoux (06), from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 25 and Sunday, October 26. Admission is only €5, with free re-entry. We can’t wait to see you there!
