SideRetro 1.0.0

SideRetro 1.0.0

SideRetro brings Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES and Mega Drive games to the Sidephone SP-01's physical Keytiles.

Highlights

• Play with the Mini Controller, Compact QWERTY, T9, Classic Keypad or Sundial without choosing a controller profile.
• See a live, tile-shaped control legend that follows the active system, orientation and held keys.
• Let Lit mode carry the game's brightest colour through the faceplate, SideRetro mark and legend.
• Use the focused CRT filter or turn filtering Off.
• Import individual ROMs or safe single-ROM ZIP archives through Android's picker, sharing, or Open with.
• Resume automatically, keep native save RAM, and use one quick-save/quick-load slot.
• Delete imported games with confirmation while leaving the original download untouched.

SideRetro ships without games, accounts, analytics, network access or storage permissions. Players provide their own legally obtained ROMs.

The Mini Controller is the designed-first and clearest fit. All other SP-01 tiles are supported adaptations. Classic Keypad and T9 share many Android keycodes, so SideRetro cannot always distinguish them; Classic may show the T9 legend even though its additional controls still work.
