Features

RetroArch, the software at the heart of Lakka, is an advanced frontend with some unique features. Lakka itself is built on OpenELEC, a very solid basis for an embedded system. This combination is the key for our success.

Multiplayer

You can play games with up to five players.

Firmware Updates

Lakka is a very compact system. The whole OS can be updated or downgraded with a single download, like modern game consoles.

Savestates

Save your progress at any moment in the game, very useful when you have to go for dinner! :)

Shaders

Improve the look of your old games with a vartiety of graphical filters: CRT, smoothing, scanlines and handheld borders.

Netplay

Enjoy your favourite multiplayer games over the network.

Rewind

This optional feature allows you to rewind your game at the press of a key.

Wireless Joypads

Some wireless joypads are supported out of the box: XBOX360, Dualshock 3, and 8bitdo for more gaming comfort.
