Retromind 0.1.2-alpha (Linux AppImage)

Retromind is a media frontend for Linux focused on games, movies, books and more.
It is designed to be portable, controller‑friendly and run well on Linux desktops.

Linux (x86_64)

  • Retromind-0.1.2-alpha-linux-x86_64.AppImage

2. Install / Run

Download the AppImage and make it executable:

2.2 Start the regular desktop UI

./Retromind-0.1.2-alpha-linux-x86_64.AppImage

3. What’s new in 0.1.2-alpha

  • Added: native GOG support, previous versions only supported GOG through Heroic import.
    This implementation is currently experimental, so expect bugs.
    See the README for setup requirements and usage instructions.
  • Added: improved and more logical library sorting.
  • Added: pressing Esc can now deselect the current item.
  • Fixed: several smaller bugs and internal cleanup.

4. Known issues / limitations

  • Linux only
    Windows is not supported at the moment.

  • Early version
    Expect rough edges, missing settings and occasional layout glitches.
    Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

5. System requirements

  • Linux x86_64
  • glibc: GLIBC >= 2.36 (Debian 12 "bookworm" baseline)
  • OpenGL/Vulkan‑capable GPU (recommended)
  • .NET runtime is bundled in the AppImage (self‑contained), no separate installation required

6. Debugging / logs

To capture additional LibVLC and console output (useful for bug reports), you can run:

./Retromind-0.1.2-alpha-linux-x86_64.AppImage -- --bigmode |& tee vlc-log.txt

When opening an issue, please include:

  • A short description of what you did
  • Your Linux distribution and version
  • The AppImage version (0.1.2-alpha)
  • vlc-log.txt (if video/audio is involved)
  • Optional: output of dotnet --info if you also run a non‑AppImage build
