RetroFW supports both .OPK and .IPK package formats. To install them follow the next instructions:
- Download and save the desired .opk to your device. You have to save it into a top-level directory on your SD Card (e.g. "H:\data" or "H:\opk").
- Put the SD Card in your RetroFW 2.0 and boot the device.
- When GMenuNX is ready, press Select and choose "Update OPK links".
- Wait for the scan to finish, go back to main screen and try your just installed application.
- OPK packages aren't installed the same way as IPK. They are just linked into GMenuNX app list with proper metadata. That's why the installation process is faster.
- The OPK file you download must be compatible with RetroFW v2.0. If it's not compatible, the OPK scanner will show a message saying in can't be installed.
- Some OPK packages supports multiple devices and platforms. In this case the OPK scanner will show a message saying that specific platform is unsupported and can't be installed. But if a supported platform is found, it will be linked by GMenuNX.
- You can manually install a single OPK file by using the GMenuNX's file Explorer.
- Download and save the desired .ipk to your device. You can save in any folder, even in the external SD card.
- Using the the GMenuNX's Explorer, browse to the .ipk you want to install.
- Select the .ipk and wait for the installation to finish. A message will be displayed on screen when it's done.
- When the installation is done, go back to main screen and try your just installed application.
- It's common to see some warnings like pkg_get_installed_files: failed when installing, don't worry, just check if worked.
- Most emulators requires to find the roms, if you are using an external SD card you can access it in to the root of the system (previous of retrofw folder). Inside the /media folder, usually the directory named mmcblk1p1 is your external SD card.
The following list is a curated catalog of OPK and IPK (Install Packages) available for the RetroFW.
