XRick

Overview

XRick is the open-source remake of Rick Dangerous. REG-Linux treats it as a ports entry and loads your zipped data archives through the libretro core.

Quick reference

  • ROM folder: /userdata/roms/xrick
  • Accepted formats: .zip
  • Emulator/Core: libretro: xrick
  • System group: ports

ROMs

Place the official data.zip (or another XRick archive) into /userdata/roms/xrick/. EmulationStation scans the folder and the core reads the assets without needing to unpack the archive.

Emulators

RetroArch / libretro: XRick

The core exposes the standard video/input overrides. Use the Quick Menu to remap buttons or adjust shaders if you prefer a custom layout.

Controls

The overlay replicates the arcade-style run-and-jump layout. Use /remapping_controls_per_emulator if you need to bind buttons differently.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm the .zip file is valid and intact; corrupted archives will prevent the core from launching.
  • For general issues, consult the generic support pages.
