Contribute to Recalbox V10 Development

Version 10 is now available for all Patrons (supporting the project via Patreon), as an update from Recalbox 9.2.3.
But this time, we’re going further: you can contribute even more actively to its development thanks to access to the Alpha version, usually reserved for our beta testers.

How does it work?

It’s very simple: in the update options (START menu), you can choose between the Patron version and the Patron Alpha version.

Want a stable Patron version?

Stay on the Patron version to enjoy V10 with peace of mind, receiving updates with each new Patron release.

Want to try the Patron Alpha version?

Select Patron Alpha updates to access the patron-alpha channel updates.

Why a new update channel?

• To share your feedback faster and directly with the developers
• To validate fixes more quickly when a bug directly affects you
• To help us test Recalbox faster and on more varied setups

For the occasion, we’ve created a dedicated new Discord channel: #patron-alpha

⚠️ The Patron Alpha version may contain bugs and will naturally be less stable than official releases. Please keep that in mind :)

And if you ever want to return to a stable version, no worries:
Just select “Patron” in the update options. Recalbox will then offer to update back to the stable version while keeping all your settings (Wi-Fi, Retroachievements, controllers…).

This message is also an opportunity to thank you for your support and patience! V10 lays the foundation for many future projects… and we can’t wait to tell you more soon!
