Description of RetroArch

RetroArch is an open-source project that makes use of a powerful development interface called Libretro. Libretro is an interface that allows you to make cross-platform applications that can use rich features such as OpenGL, cross-platform camera support, location support, and more in the future.
It comes with its own built-in collection of applications to provide you with a 'one-stop-shop' for entertainment.
Libretro and RetroArch are perfectly suited for creating games, emulators and multimedia programs. If you want to learn more, go to our website (listed below).

  Very Good Emulator, Not User Friendly. This emulator can do so much with almost any console, It's great! But the problem is the ui is pretty complicated and takes a bit to get used to, but once you do you will love this app.

  Impossible to effectively use without a controller. Can't even close the search keyboard without a controller or closing the app. Big fan of the desktop software but you're way better off with stand alone emulators on mobile.

  Love retroarch, great software, does what it's meant to and fantastic amount of different settings too, very convenient to have nes, snes, n64, dreamcast ps1 and so on all in one :) Dolphin (GC & Wii) core is terrible though, Dolphin app works far better

  It's great with amazing cutomisation. But the version is iffy. Can acces the shaders through a file explorer, high chance of crashing when navigating the menus (but during gameplay), and you can't use all of the shaders provided. They would either fail to load, or just not look on how they are supposed to. The PC version is the more reliable version to get

  It's good but some games don't work right. like i have all of the files for red earth but none of the mame or final burn alpha cores will run it. In Some arcade games you can't move or use normal attacks but most games run fine.
