RetroArch

A modular Emulation System

RetroArch is a modular Emulation System. Basically this means:

  • Functions like Video Refresh, Sound, Gamepad etc. only are implemented once, in the central exe
  • The central exe is highly optimized, with a multithreaded Approach (often faster than individual Emulators)
  • It is much easier to port "Cores" (the Modules) than a fully new Emulator of some System
  • A large amount of "Cores" is already available (see also the separate Archives with Cores on this site)
  • All under a common GUI. So no longer GUI-less Emulators.
