It's here! Version 10-Patron-1 is finally available for our Patrons! A lot has changed in this release… and yet, this is only the beginning!

This first Patron release of V10 took time to arrive: the entire technical foundation of Recalbox has been updated, which caused countless issues with emulators, Kodi, and many other components.
It took weeks of debugging and fixes to finally offer you a release as stable as possible.

🎮 New Systems and Emulators

Several new emulators are making their debut in this version!

• The highly anticipated Dolphin emulator is finally available on Raspberry Pi 5 (GameCube)
• The Xbox emulator is now available on PC, just like Virtual Pinball on PC and Pi5
• DICE, a 1970s arcade emulator, also joins the lineup!

MAME has been updated to version 0.274, with major improvements in emulation accuracy and speed, especially on PC and Pi5.

For microcomputer fans:

• New cores for Atari ST/STE, Apple II, and BBC Micro, for the best possible experience with these classic systems.

As for ports, you'll now find:
OpenLara (Tomb Raider), Julius (Caesar III), Corsix-TH (Theme Hospital), VVVVVV, and even... Tamagotchi!

Many other cores and emulators have also been updated.

💡 Bonus: advanced options for some emulators are now directly accessible from the Recalbox interface!

🧭 A More Intuitive Interface

Lots of changes in EmulationStation as well:

• New look: modern and colorful system logos, faithful to the original machines.
• Redesigned menus with a more intuitive layout and improved design.
• Improved search functionality.
• Smoother navigation through game lists.
• New icon-based information, new sorting options, and clearer visual markers.

And there’s more:

• Lock favorites and bring them back to the top of the list.
• ROM checks when launching games.
• Show/hide systems individually.
• Search by license (e.g., all Zelda games) or by alias (names vary by language or region).

📂 Add Your Games More Easily

Just copy your games into a roms folder:
Recalbox will automatically detect the changes and prompt you to update your library without restarting.

• New games? Recalbox will offer to scrape them right away (Patron exclusive), and only the new ones!
• Modify a gamelist.xml file? Recalbox will detect it and update the data on the fly.

User data from gamelists is now stored separately (automatic migration).
So if you scrape again with Skraper or delete your gamelist.xml, you won’t lose your favorites anymore!
