What's New in RetroGo

1.14.0

October 18, 2026

This update adds the mGBA core and expands control customization with flexible layouts, button macros, more turbo options, and physical controller mappings that switch with your layout. • New mGBA Core Game Boy Advance games now have another core to choose from, with a localized set of core options. VBA-M remains the free default GBA core; mGBA requires Pro. • More Flexible Control Layouts Arrange action buttons in a fan and adjust the group's position, size and fan settings. Replace buttons with combos or macros, or move them out of the fan to place them individually. Configure portrait and landscape separately to suit the way you play. • Button Macros Build sequences of directional and action inputs, with adjustable step durations and gaps between steps. Tap once to play a macro and tap again to cancel. Choose an icon, add a direction marker, create a left/right mirrored copy, or copy macros from other layouts to reuse your favorite sequences. • Custom Combo and Turbo Buttons Add turbo to a single button, or combine two to four buttons with optional turbo, including on arcade platforms. Enable “Tap to Lock Turbo” to keep firing after a quick tap, without holding the button. Tap again to stop. “Turbo Speed” controls both single-button and combo turbo. • Controller Mappings That Follow Your Layout Each control layout can save its own physical controller mappings, including assignments to custom combos, turbo buttons and macros. Switching layouts during play also switches the mappings, and each player can choose a mapping scheme separately. The mapping page displays the selected layout, with bubbles showing which physical buttons are already in use. After this update, you may need to set up your previous controller mappings again. • Shared Layouts for Related Arcade Games MAME can now apply a layout to games using the same driver, in addition to one game or an entire platform. Configure games built for the same arcade hardware together, while preserving layout choices made for individual games. • Editing Improvements and Fixes When creating a layout, saving after adjusting only one screen orientation now offers to edit the other. Improved editor presentation, collapsing and expanding on iPhone and iPad, and game picture refresh after rotation. Added missing haptic feedback when tapping controls on layout configuration pages. Fixed long layout and disc names squeezing out setting titles. Fixed Pro features being blocked even when the Pro page showed an active entitlement, and improved recognition of subscription renewals. Fixed issues when pausing, closing and reopening some games.

User reviews

Great,Awesome,Outstanding!

It a good way to play old games and it’s,like I said in the title great,my only complaint is that when I try playing sonic R it doesn’t let me play it,but other than that it’s pretty good.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your kind words and for reporting the Sonic R issue. I tested the game with both Yabause and Beetle Saturn. Both cores can run it, but Beetle Saturn starts more smoothly and is currently the recommended core for this game. To switch cores, long-press Sonic R in your game library, choose Assign Core, and select Beetle Saturn. After switching, the game should start normally, and save/load worked correctly in my testing. If this resolves the issue for you, would you consider updating your review to reflect your experience with the working core? Thank you again for supporting RetroGo!

PLEASE ADD NEC SYSTEMS

I use this app every once in a while, it’s a very simple to use and great multi-system emulator. If you can, PLEASE add support for any of these NEC game consoles: TurboGrafx-16, TurboGrafx-CD, SuperGrafx and PC-FX.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words and for the excellent suggestion. I’ve added NEC support to the roadmap and plan to begin adding the PCE family of systems in RetroGo 1.16.0, starting with TurboGrafx-16, TurboGrafx-CD, and SuperGrafx support. RetroGo 1.15.0 is currently focused on a major visual update with game shaders and classic retro filters. NEC support is planned for the following release. Thanks again for helping shape RetroGo’s roadmap!

完一半开始每日免费10分钟,花钱买了终身版,就一直卡退,点联系客服也没反应,大家不要上当受骗,真的服了

Response from developer

10 minutes per day limitation wow

wooooooooooooow

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback — you were right. As of version 1.13.1, the daily 10-minute limit is gone: every platform’s free core can now be played with no time limit. Pro unlocks extras such as cheats, fast-forward, more save slots and custom combo buttons, but playing your games is free. Please update and give RetroGo another try. If anything still bothers you, write to askrsw@163.com — we read every message.

只能玩十分钟

只能玩十分钟。而且按键超级难控制

Response from developer

感谢你的反馈,你提到的两个问题都已经改进了: 从 1.13.1 版本起,取消了每天 10 分钟的游玩限制,每个平台的免费核心都可以不限时畅玩。 1.13.0 版本新增了屏幕按键布局自定义:可以拖动调整每个按键的位置和大小、调整透明度、隐藏用不到的按键,竖屏和横屏可以分别设置,还加入了按键震动反馈。游戏中点工具栏的"更多"→"屏幕按键布局"就能进入编辑。 欢迎更新后再试试。如果还有不顺手的地方,可以发邮件到 askrsw@163.com 告诉我们,我们会继续改进。
