It's here!

After more than one year of development, MADrigalX is now available for free download!

MADrigalX is a collection/porting of my simulators by HCF-Retrocoder, and it allows you to play all games on the first model of Xbox. It has a nice and user-friendly interface with sound. It is a standalone package and it is 100% free! This is what it looks like:

If you want to see it in action, watch this Youtube video.

This is what's new:

* Amazing user interface designed by Luca "MADrigal" Antignano (thanks, Luca!)
* Huge optimization that makes almost all the games playable at full speed, even with zoom mode enabled!
* Fixed some bugs in gameplay, and in highscores saving. Now highscores will be properly saved.
* Special zoom modes for some 2-screen games.
* Fixed problems with the controls that existed in a few 2-screens games, like Donkey Kong (Nintendo, Multi Screen) or Donkey Kong II (Nintendo, Multi Screen). These games are playable now too.

Attention all owners of pi-based sytems running RetroPie and RetrOrange Pi!

Thanks to the effort of Giorgio "Giorba" Balestrieri, the complete MADrigal Collection is now available on these little cute systems, complete with interface, screenshots, the latest LibRetro core, a small database with game information and instructions to install the package!

Furthermore, KMFDManic has just released his latest version of MADrigal for NES Mini and for SNES Mini, containing various fixes and updates.
