Here's the latest 0.9.28 executable for people to play with. Make sure you make a backup copy of your current executable in case this doesn't work for you, and check https://bitbucket.org/phulshof/retrofe/commits/all to see which changes were made to the code since you last updated from 0.9.0. I hope to update the documentation accordingly pretty soon.

Documents should be updated as well now. Let me know if you find any bugs or missing items.

If you're running 0.9.0 or later: yes.
You can consider setting fps and fpsIdle to 30 in the global settings.conf if you have performance issues in the front-end (not the emulators).

in setting.conf i dont have "fps" "fpsidle" can i just write "fps - 30 " and it will work ?

I'll probably do a full release somewhere in the next month or so. It's been a while, and a lot has changed and improved.

New version feels more smooth, so far I have not encountered any problems.

Hello,

I noticed there is some "input lag" on the front-end : there is much time between pushing the key and action on the screen (no prob with Launchbox, hyperspin or other application). The new exe don't fix that even with raw theme.

Do you know a way to correct or reduce it ?

Which theme are you running? Lag is mostly caused by the scrolling duration defined in the theme (which is quite slow in the default Aeon Nox theme at the moment) and loading of art (especially if you use an external HDD).

Check the scrolling parameters in the menu tag in layout.xml.
