Retro-Go

Version: 1.44-A001 | Published by Attaky

Media I/O Keyboard (Bottom) ESP32 Standard Cell

A pocketable multi-system retro game console — load your game files onto an SD card and
play classic titles right on your Attaky.

Retro-Go turns your Attaky Core + Gamepad into a handheld emulator for a whole shelf of
classic systems. Drop your game files onto a microSD card, pick a title from the on-screen
library, and play — with save states, cover art and fast switching between systems.

Highlights

  • Many classic systems — Nintendo (NES, SNES, Game Boy / Game Boy Color), Sega
    (Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive / Genesis), PC Engine, Atari Lynx and more.
  • Cover-art library — browse your collection by system with box art and a recent list.
  • Save states — pause, save and resume any game exactly where you left off.
  • Plays from SD — your game files live on a microSD card; swap in as many as it holds.
  • Handheld controls — the Gamepad module gives you a full D-pad and action buttons.
  • Fast and light — instant boot, quick game switching, low power draw.

A console in your pocket

Retro-Go boots straight to a system carousel — flip between Nintendo, Sega, PC Engine and
the rest, browse each system's library with cover art, and jump into a game in a couple of
taps. Save states mean you can stop mid-level and pick up later.

Bring your own game files

Retro-Go plays game files you provide from a microSD card — it ships with no games. Organise
them by system on the card and Retro-Go builds the library automatically. (Please only use
game files you are legally entitled to.)
