About
RetroArch is an open-source frontend that allows users to run classic games and emulators across a wide range of platforms through a unified graphical interface. It supports numerous emulator cores via the Libretro API, enabling retro gaming on computers, consoles, and mobile devices. Configuration is centralized, so settings are applied once across all supported systems and cores.
Problem
Running classic games across many different emulators requires separate configuration and interfaces for each one.
For
retro gaming enthusiasts and emulation hobbyists
How it works
RetroArch uses the Libretro API to load emulator cores within a single unified frontend, providing consistent settings and interface across all supported systems.
