Lodor-NextUI is a thin sync layer on top of other people's work. It ships no forked firmware — it plugs into stock NextUI as an ordinary Tool pak.

  • NextUI — by frysee, ro8inmorgan, and the LoveRetro contributors (GPL-3.0). NextUI is the host OS Lodor-NextUI runs on. Everything Lodor does not reimplement — the system list, box art, the resume/recently-played switcher, Wi-Fi, the on-screen keyboard, RetroAchievements, Collections, theming, search — is NextUI's, inherited unchanged. Lodor-NextUI does not fork or modify it; it uses NextUI's own Tool-pak and launch-hook contracts.
  • MinUIShaun Inman. NextUI is based on MinUI, and Lodor's whole thin-client philosophy descends from it.
  • minui-list / minui-keyboard / minui-presenterjosegonzalez. The on-screen list, text-entry keyboard, and message presenter Lodor uses for its menus and onboarding. The same battle-tested binaries the stock NextUI/MinUI Wi-Fi pak drives. Bundled unmodified, for host rendering only.
  • RomM — the self-hosted game-library server Lodor-NextUI is a client for. Device pairing rides RomM's own API (4.8.0+).
  • Tailscale — the bundled userspace tailscaled + tailscale client (official static builds, BSD-3-Clause) that powers the QR sign-in and private-network transport.
  • QR Code generator libraryProject Nayuki (MIT). Vendored in the pak's small QR helper that draws the Tailscale sign-in code on screen.
  • Grout — the RomM MinUI client whose save-sync approach Lodor's engine owes its lineage to.
  • Cloudflare Access — the service-token transport option for remote access.
  • The 7-Zip project — the bundled 7zz used to extract downloaded archives.
  • The broader retro-handheld community for the firmware and testing knowledge this builds on.
