1Retro adds cloud saves to RetroArch, OpenEmu, and other gaming platforms

1Retro is a cloud save and synchronization platform for retro gaming enthusiasts. The platform automatically backs up and syncs game saves across devices and emulators, ensuring seamless gameplay experiences. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, 1Retro operates quietly in the background, automatically detecting and managing save files. Users can easily continue playing across different systems, with their progress safely backed up.

The lightweight desktop app watches emulator save folders for changes, uploading new or modified files to the cloud automatically. When opened, it pulls the latest versions of saves, keeping users up-to-date. Power users can utilize command-line tools that integrate directly with emulator save files, suitable for automation and custom workflows.

1Retro supports a wide range of popular emulators and devices, including OpenEmu, RetroArch, MiSTer, Analogue Pocket, and many more. The platform efficiently handles uploads, skipping unchanged saves to ensure fast syncs and conserve bandwidth. Each save version is tracked separately, allowing users to browse and restore previous saves through a web dashboard.

Smart conflict resolution and full version history keep users' progress safe. In cases where two devices update the same save, users can choose which version to keep. Syncing is available at no cost, with an option to upgrade for more storage or additional features, all at a price lower than a cup of coffee. The desktop app works with any emulator that stores saves as files on the computer, making 1Retro compatible with most popular emulators out of the box.

With support for 43+ retro gaming platforms, 1Retro helps users keep their retro gaming experiences organized and ready to pick up on any device.
