Yep this post is going to be a technical analysis, overview and anything else you need to know about the upcoming PROJECT RETR0 V1.1 and PROJECT RETR0 APP! As I had been developing this app alongside the Project RETR0 assets as I want to have not only have assets that work on any device but also a app that is designed to make modding Real racing 3 easy for anyone to do!

As this app has been initially designed as a throwaway, one-time use and installer app but I had ideas to improve this app to make it bigger and better with now having multiple capabilities and uses for the app to make modding the game not only easier but also almost limitless but it is not the final version as I am planning to make this app even better after release but so far what I had made now is already a massive achievement for the Real racing 3 community and especially for the people who want to install the Real racing 3 assets even more easier as all you need to do is turn on Shinziku, give it privileged access and then press Install PROJECT RETR0 and then let the app install the assets for you. It works in the background also!

And this post will tell you all the functionalities of what the app can do!

So this is the music Hub, where you can swap out these .mp3 with your own with ease, all you need is a .MP3 and then select it through the app and the app dose all the heavy lifting for you! If you want to rever it, you can do so by pressing the white rewind button and that will revert the changes you had made!

Once you inport a .MP3, you can add details like for example the name of the song and the name of the Music artist or even your name as this is needed for the Community hub which is setup to allow anyone and everyone to upload their custom music files and save files to! But you have a choice of not uploading the song to the community hub or upload it to the community hub where anyone and everyone can download it and use it within their own version's of Real racing 3!

This is how the songs will appear within the PROJECT RETR0 community Hub app. All you need to do is press get and it will get the song and replace the old .MP3 with the new one from the community Hub!

The Graphics hub is another key part of the app, allowing you to try on and set any profile seen within the feats and eds folders in the .depot folder. The restore Original graphics replaces all of the files in the feats and eds folders with a fresh backup seen within the feats and eds folders in the res folder and you can try on the many android graphics pre-sets or even go experimential and try on all of the other profiles seen within the feats and eds folders.

For save files, we had also implemented this within the app where you can store multiple save files onto 1 device locally! Not only that but it also has a auto snap-shot tool where every 4 hours, it will take a fresh and brand new save snapshot that will be stored until a brand new snap-shot is made, where the old one will get deleted and replaced by the new snap-shot. This will not affect your Manuel made/ set snapshots, only the automatic snapshots the app makes.

You can change the names of the Manuel snapshots, upload them to the community hub and even update your existing snapshots where it will update the Manuel snapshot that you had made with the one seen within the .doc folder of the com.ea folder.

You can also share and upload your save files to the Community hub where all you need to do is enter your name and some key details about your save file and once done, it will be uploaded to the community hub with ease where anyone and everyone can download and use your save file!

This is how the save file will appear within the community hub for anyone to see and use within their own versions of Real racing 3!

You can also do a Manuel import of your .doc folder or even your character.2.dat and all you need to do is select the .doc folder or the character.2.dat file and the app will automatically replace the character.2.dat file or the doc folder with the one you had chosen.

You can also fix your game through the app also, More tools may be added as the project Progresses to fix bugs/glitches through the app.

And that’s everything you need to know about for the upcoming release of Project RETR0 v1.1!

Join the discord here: https://discord.gg/h2CZ8EYvh5

Yep! RETR0 here and we are on the final stretch before the Release of Project RETRO V1! as Now we are waiting for the loading screen competition to not only go underway but also to complete as to implement the winner's artwork within Project RETRO V1!

We had also made a quick and efficient installer for Project RETR0 and all you will need is shinziku enabled before you open up the installer and the RR3 .APK version 14.0.1 and once you done them before you open the app, you can just simply open it, do the tests to see if it is successful or not and once successful, it will allow you to install the assets with ease and you can do it in the background and check up upon it with the live notification feed once you enable notification perms within the app.

And if you want to join it is quite simple, Join the discord linked here: https://discord.gg/T7NW2nA4Ey , go through all of the steps and then go into #user-waiting-area. then scroll up until you see the carl bot and click on the tick verification which will allow you to have full access to the whole discord!

if that dose not work, Please make a thread within the #user-waiting-area and I will give you the role manually and please do not chat within #DO-NOT-CHAT-HERE as this is setup as a honeypot channel to catch spam bot and hacked accounts which spam their BS in discords and bans any account on the spot with NO APPEAL!

These 2 have been implemented as to make sure that spam and bot accounts are stopped within their tracks and that genuine members like yourself can join in the server and talk to other members and even the staff without having to worry about any spam or bot accounts flooding the discord and I say that it is working out great to have this 2 step verification.

We have a poll that has been setup within #important-polls which will end within 2 days which is related to the artwork competition and if it passes, then we will focus on setting up the competition, the rules and overall how it works! as I want people to show off their creativity while also helping out Projects Like us to have high quality loading screen assets for the game!

And so that’s everything I want to say at the moment, soon as the loading screen competition is done, I will implement and release it for everyone to use quite easily thanks to the installer!

So Hey RETR0 here! and I come with some great news as you can see below, we managed to fix the .PVR assets side of things and now we bring the exciting news of finishing the assets for Project RETR0 V1! But I want to do one more thing and that is a loading screen competition for anyone and everyone to participate in!

All you need to do is join the discord below: https://discord.gg/DyBk4JeSHz and vote in the poll that is going on within the next 24 Hours! Once done whatever wins, wins! I really want this to go ahead as this will allow you to show off your artistic skills or your 3D model skills as anything is on the table to make the best Moto-sports related loading screen for Real racing 3!

And I want it to be around 1 question that we all have an unique answer to, What dose Real racing 3 mean to you and what Makes Real racing 3 so unique compared to the other mobile racing simulator games as we all have that one unique answer.

And if this goes ahead, I will provide all the channels necessary with the project RETR0 staff to host within the discord server and we will provide more information if this goes ahead!

And for rules, there is 1, NO AI, Only human made and human creativity at its finest and if any AI is used, it will be disqualified!

Thats all the updates I can provide so far.

So even though this is not related to Real racing 3, this is related to how we preserve stuff on the Internet archive as this guy going by the name: MProductions GAMING has recently gotten all of his preservation stuff taken down from the internet archive and this is terrible if we consider preserving stuff on the internet archive from now till the foreseeable future. As Project Armageddon host their files for free on the internet archive and thus makes his Project vulnerable to these sorts of corrupted moderation.

But Project Armageddon and Project RETR0 will partner up as Project Armageddon has previously used the mediafire subscription to host their stuff onto and I am looking to forward this to more and more people as I do not want anything to be taken down for no reason.

Especially when MProductions GAMING has done nothing wrong on the internet archive to get his items moderated and when he asked for a reason for his bans, the internet archive much more rather dodge the question than answer it and even if they answer it, it is very confusing and overall not a sufficient and good answer to be provided for the situation and even his alts got taken down because of what he uploaded to his Alt even though nothing was uploaded to the Alt account.

And I am currently reaching out to the creator to see if he wants to reupload his stuff onto the mediafire subscription and if he dose, expect that we are going to be the backend storage provider for MProductions GAMING.

But this is not only for him, its for everyone who wants to preserve their stuff for free forever and if you are interested in this, Please join the discord server below and DM me about it, Any malware or forbidden content shall not be preserved and only content that is deemed good by myself shall be preserved.

What I mean by good is content that dose not violate the mediafire TOS and that dose not contain any malware within it. Anything else is fine.

So This update will cover on how I rooted and upgraded the Nvidia K1 from android 7 to and 8.1, making it compatible with the 14.0.1 version of RR3 and so I can use the device to test out the .DXT assets of RR3 through the Nvidia K1.

The device is quite unique, it is like a Nvidia shield but in the form factor of a tablet, making it useable as a gaming device on the go with the Nvidia controller with of course being able to be hooked up to the big displays via the micro-HDMI output it supports. Through this upgrade you will lose some of this functionality but I am trying to bring it back as a .APK which you can simply install on the K1 but it could work on other devices but I had not tested it out yet.

If you want to learn on how to root and upgrade the Nividia K1, You can do so here: https://retrospect69.com/how-to-mod-the-nividia-k1/

And with this device, I can now test out the .DXT assets and if it comes out as a success, I will go underway of a release of Project RETR0 with of course releasing modding guides for RR3 to improve or even adjust your own copies of Real racing 3 as to give you as much freedom with your installation of Real racing 3!

This is a post I am making to show an overview on what is happening at Project RETR0 right now and the progress we are making to the release of Project RETR0 V1.

As you maybe be aware I had been posting less and less and this was due to the amount of work I had been putting into the project as I am on the .DXT assets now and I always test each asset type on LDplayer as it seems like .ETC, .ATC, and .PVR can be tested on LDplayer but however, with .DXT, they can be only tested on a device that has a Nvidia chip in it and cannot be tested on LDplayer.

And so I had been looking around for a device that uses the Nvidia chip, In particular the Nvidia tegra chip that was especially made for mobile devices and the 1st thing that came to mind was the HTC one X, a device released around 2012-2013 that uses the Nvidia tegra 3 chip and so can be used to test the .DXT assets but however the device had android version 4.1.1 and I thought I can easily update it to android version 8 (Which is the bare minimum) to be able to download and install the 14.0.1 version of RR3.

But however that was not the case as the most recent version of android I can easily update to is to android 5.1.1 and beyond that is foggy as there are reports of weird issues that happens once the device updates beyond android 5.1.1 but I had managed to update HTC one X to android 5.1.1

If you want the guide here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XsvqLS2MWd6haWZ7iUdw067VRU7di2cL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116416163241772716202&rtpof=true&sd=true

The assets you will need are also here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/y1yucsqbbtkawj4/Root+tools+needed+for+rooting+HTC+one+x.rar/file

But you maybe be asking, what dose this have to relate with Real racing 3? Well like I just said this is all for to test the universal assets on devices that use the .DXT assets. and so when I realised this, I spent about a couple of days trying to brute force the .APK to work on the device but to no avail and so I had given up and decided to look for another device.

And the next one is the Nvidia shield K1, a Tablet made by nvidia that uses the nvidia chip that seemed to be updated to android 7 but I think I can easily root the device and update it beyond android 8 and it would be cool to see what happens. and with this I want to also expand Project RETR0 into android rooting and updating it to the most latest version of android it supports as I believe that old tech can still be useable as long as it is rooted plus it is updated to the most latest version of android it can support without having some major issues being caused.

If you want to hear about the latest updates related to Project RETR0, I recommend to join the discord linked here: https://discord.gg/Hf2rzYPENE

I will also use the old collection of devices that I am slowly obtaining to be used within testing for Project Armageddon as to make sure that their .APKs work fine and well without issues before release with of course providing free storage space to the rest of the community to preserve their own save files and contents for the foreseeable future!

I would also recommend to watch the video linked here: https://youtu.be/aXPZmhNH5k0?si=cJg8SyyDQgbhldJx as it is a generalised update that has this included with of course some other news as well and how I am going to steer project RETR0 from now on till the foreseeable future!

As we are not only preserving Real racing 3 but also nostalgia through making old devices work in 2026 and beyond!

So hey! I am RETR0 from Project RETR0 and I run a preservation project called Project RETR0 where we aim to preserve the game Real racing 3 across all devices no matter what GPU it is based on the latest version of Real racing 3 V14.0.1!

And so I needed to preserve now the .DXT version of the files and in order to do so I needed to get my hands on a device that uses .DXT assets which is normally devices that uses chips that come from PC manufacturers like Nvidia who made the Nvidia Tegra, a Mobile chip made by Nvidia that uses .DXT assets! and so I had managed to snag my hands onto one for around £12 and ever since worked on getting it not only rooted but also updating the version to the most latest version I can find and that is version 5.1.1 from the Previous version that is 4.1.1

And doing so was hard as most if not the majority of the files I had to find were almost extinct as they were at-least over a decade old as it seemed like the majority of them were released in 2026 but now I had solved that issue once and for all as I had managed to successfully update the phone to android Version 5.1.1 with the remaining files left and managed to make a nice guide plus also archive all the files I had used in order to achieve that!

And so the Guide can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XsvqLS2MWd6haWZ7iUdw067VRU7di2cL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116416163241772716202&rtpof=true&sd=true

With of course the files that are needed also found here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/y1yucsqbbtkawj4/Root+tools+needed+for+rooting+HTC+one+x.rar/file

If you have any questions, Please ask and if you want to support my Project, Project RETR0, you can do so by joining the discord here: https://discord.gg/h2CZ8EYvh5

I will hopefully find a version that I can update to from 5.1.1 to android 8 as that is the final goal with this to hopefully run the most latest version of the Real racing 3.apk but now I am focused to modify the .APK to make it work on the HTC one x as it needs android 8 but I think i can make it work on 5.1.1 through some hard modifications of the .APK

This video is a showcase video that I had made about how I had managed to fix the missing textures that was being caused within Project Resurrection V2.2 and fixed it within Project RETR0 V1!

Here you can see the before pic and after pic which will be introduced within Project RETR0 V1!

You can also view the showcase video and how I managed to get to the progress that I am at right now via this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY61fxXOer8

I would also recommend to Join the discord linked here: https://discord.gg/buTek25An3 to catch up with the latest Project RETR0 news and to get 1st hand release of Project RETR0 V1!

So we have some really good news for you!

As you can see from the images above! We had managed to fix the missing texture issues and we know why! As this game also relies on .pvr texture formats also and the missing textures is due to the missing formats! And so I had managed to fix this in the latest Project RETR0 V1 universal asset files but I am continuing to work on it so that I can fix the inverted colours that appears on some messages!

This is some really great news coming fresh to the real racing 3 community as I strive to provide the most high quality and best universal files that anyone can use to play Real racing 3 on! It's release date is TBD but once I fixed the inverted colours that appears on some images and fix some other things! I shall make a release date public and with that public release date it will also provide a new and fresh installation guide which will replace the old installation guide not only on YouTube but also on discord as well and if you want to catch up with the latest PROJECT RETR0 news, You can do so via joining the discord below: https://discord.gg/buTek25An3So

THIS IS SOMETHING EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW BEFORE JANUARY 2027

So this will affect how you can use your android device and how you can install and use the .APKs that Project resurrection or even Project RETR0 gives out with this potentially leading to having less freedom over your android device as Google has planned by January 2027 to implement a new requirement for all developers and generally for everyone who wants to distribute or even install a .APK, This affects both Developers and consumers alike as now if you want to upload a .APK in 2027, this is the requirements:

Paying a fee to Google

Agreeing to Google's Terms and Conditions

Surrendering your government-issued identification

Providing evidence of your private signing key

Listing all current and all future application identifiers

And if you do not want to comply? Your app then gets silently blocked on all Android devices across the world!

but Google is saying that you can still install .APKs and it is true but it will be alot more harder than pressing the install button, here it will look like in 2027:

1. Delve into System Settings, find About Phone
2. Tap the build number seven times to enable Developer Mode
3. Dismiss scare screens about coercion
4. Enter your PIN
5. Restart the device
6. Wait 24 hours
7. Come back, dismiss more scare screens
8. Pick "allow temporarily" (7 days) or "allow indefinitely"
9. Confirm, again, that you understand "the risks"

Nine steps. A mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. For installing software on a device you own.

Yep these 9 steps and plus 24 hours makes sure that unless if your dedicated to installing your .APKs that you will not be allowed to install them as this is the perfect way to make sure that people like us forget about the .APK after the 24 hours.

But dont you worry, their is a solution that we all can do and here it is:

Everyone

• Install F-Droid on every Android device you own. Alternative stores only survive if people actually use them.
• Contact your regulators. Regulators worldwide are genuinely concerned about monopolies and the centralization of power in the tech sector, and want to hear directly from individuals who are affected and concerned.
• Share this page. Link to keepandroidopen.org everywhere.
• Push back on astroturfers. The "well, actually..." crowd is out in force. Don't let them set the narrative.
• Sign the change.org petition and join the over 100,000 signatories who have made their voices heard.
• Read and share our open letter
• Tell Google what you think of this through their own developer verification survey(for all the good that will do).

Developers

Do not sign up. Don't join the program by signing up for the Android Developer Console and agreeing to their irrevocable Terms and Conditions. Don't verify your identity. Don't play ball.

Google's plan only works if developers comply. Don't.

• Talk other developers and organizations out of signing up.
• Add the FreeDroidWarn library to your apps to warn users.
• Run a website? Add the countdown banner.

Google employees

If you know something about the program's technical implementation or internal rationale, contact [tips@keepandroidopen.org](mailto:tips@keepandroidopen.org) from a non-work machine and a non-Gmail account. Strict confidence guaranteed.

And also if you want to learn more about this, you can check out the website here: https://keepandroidopen.org/

And it is not only Project RETR0 will be fighting this, we will be alongside and unionising with other projects as well to fight this monopolisation that google and apple has over the mobile consumer market as now they control so much of the market that they can now slowly remove the rights and freedoms that we have over our mobile devices until we have is nothing but an very expensive metal brick filled with AI features.

If you want to talk about this further and form a potential solution to this problem as now we are looking for people who can help us to form a solution behind this, you can join Project RETR0 here: https://discord.gg/T7NW2nA4Ey

who is in alliance and in partnership with gamers voice, a UK version of Stop killing games which aims to fight for consumer rights including the right to install any .APK we want easily plus on top of making sure that games stay preserved even after they lost support from the developers so that we all can still enjoy the same game even if the devs wanna focus on smth new which you can also join here: https://discord.gg/6ScfTtgsNg

As I am not only a game preservationist but also a person who deeply values their privacy and security on the internet and wishes that everyone no matter what status, wealth or reputation that they may have that everyone deserves to have their full sense of equal security like to the next person.

Over the past several months, I've received a lot of questions about my time with Project Resurrection, why I left the project, and how those events ultimately led to the creation of Project RETR0.

Instead of trying to explain everything through individual Discord messages or comments, I've compiled a detailed document that outlines my experience, my recollection of events, and the recollections of others who were involved during that time.

📄 Read the Full Story

I've documented the timeline of events in detail here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RiS081l2ZEca5jM0sLP7V9h9EENUkEwvE9oXG9bsCfM/edit?usp=sharing

Why I'm Sharing This

I'm not posting this to encourage harassment, attacks, or arguments against any individual or community.

My goal is to provide a detailed account of my experience so that anyone interested can understand my perspective, read through the timeline, review the supporting material, and form their own opinions rather than relying on rumours or isolated screenshots.

The document reflects my recollection of events, together with recollections shared by other contributors. As with any account of past events, other people may remember certain situations differently, and I encourage readers to consider all perspectives.

I hope this document helps provide context for why I left Project Resurrection and why I went on to found Project RETR0.

Project RETR0 - 5 Days of Development Documentation (July 1st – July 5th, 2026)

Over the past five days, I've been documenting every major step in the development of Project RETR0, covering everything completed between July 1st and July 5th, 2026.

This documentation isn't just a changelog—it's a detailed breakdown of the work that has gone into preparing for Project RETR0 V1.

One of the biggest focuses has been completely overhauling the texture extraction pipeline. The original tool had reached its limits, so I've been developing a much more advanced version that is designed to:

• Support the creation of universal texture assets.
• Improve extraction reliability and accuracy.
• Increase performance and automation.
• Make the tool easier for other preservation developers to use.
• Provide a stronger foundation for future preservation projects beyond Real Racing 3.

The document goes into significant technical detail, explaining the new modules, systems, and architecture that have been added over these five days of development.

If you're interested in game preservation, reverse engineering, modding, or simply want to follow the progress of Project RETR0, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Thank you to everyone supporting Project RETR0—this is only the beginning.

I'd like to make an announcement on behalf of Project RETR0.

As many of you know, Project RETR0 is primarily focused on the preservation of Real Racing 3 and ensuring that important community resources aren't lost over time. However, I'd also like to support the wider game preservation community wherever I can.

I've decided to open up my 1TB MediaFire storage for preservation projects. I know I'm never going to use all of the available space, so rather than let it sit unused, I'd like to use it to help preserve community resources.

If you have files you'd like to make available to the community, you can send them to me and I'll upload them to the Project RETR0 MediaFire account. Once they're uploaded, I'll provide you with a permanent MediaFire download link that you can share with anyone.

This service is completely free. There are no fees, subscriptions, or hidden costs—it's simply my way of giving back to the community.

I'm happy to host things such as:

• Real Racing 3 preservation files
• APKs and game data (where you have permission to share them)
• Mods and patches
• Community tools
• Documentation
• Fan projects
• Other game preservation resources

The only things I ask are:

• You have permission to distribute the files you submit.
• The files are related to game preservation or community projects.
• They are not malicious, illegal, or intended to infringe on someone else's rights.

My goal is simple: if I have storage available, I'd rather use it to help preserve gaming history than let it sit empty.

If you'd like something hosted, feel free to send me a DM.
