RetroArch Remote

RetroArch Remote makes it possible to start your favorite games just from your phone. This comes particularly handy if you're running RetroArch on a system like a media center with no attached keyboard.

With RetroArch Remote you can look up any games registered on Giant Bomb [www.giantbomb.com](Giant Bomb), add them to your favorites and easily download them from the Internet Archive [https://archive.org/](Internet Archive).

RetroArch Remote has been set up to run as a daemon service aside Kodi.
