Hello World

We started 1Retro to solve a small but stubborn problem: never losing a save file again, no matter what device or emulator you’re playing on. As the project grows, there’s more to talk about than a changelog can hold; design decisions, the weird corners of save formats, what we’re building next.

So: a blog. Nothing fancy. Posts will land here whenever they’re worth writing.

What you’ll find here

• Devlogs. What we’re building, how we’re building it, what we broke, what we learned.
• Save format deep dives. The surprisingly interesting world of emulator save files, byte layouts, and platform quirks.
• Release notes. What’s new, for humans.

What you won’t find

Marketing fluff or content-mill SEO posts. If we don’t have something real to say, we won’t post.
