RetroArch's version 1.0.0.0 was released on January 11, 2014, and at the time was available on seven distinct platforms. On April 21, 2012, SSNES was officially renamed to RetroArch to reflect this change in direction. It was intended as a replacement to bsnes's Qt-based interface but it grew to support more emulation 'cores'. It can run on several PC operating systems ( Windows, macOS, Linux), home consoles ( PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Wii U, etc.), handheld consoles ( PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, etc.), on smartphones ( Android, iOS, etc.), single-board computers ( Raspberry Pi, ODROID, etc.) and even on web browsers by using the Emscripten compiler.įormerly known as SSNES, initially based on pseudonymous programmer Near's libretro predecessor libsnes, it began its development in 2010 with Hans-Kristian 'themaister' Arntzen committing the first change on GitHub. RetroArch has been ported to many platforms. RetroArch runs programs converted into dynamic libraries called libretro cores, using several user interfaces such as command-line interface, a few graphical user interfaces (GUI) optimized for gamepads (the most famous one being called XMB, a clone of Sony's XMB), several input, audio and video drivers, plus other sophisticated features like dynamic rate control, audio filters, multi-pass shaders, netplay, gameplay rewinding, cheats, etc. It is the reference implementation of the libretro API, designed to be fast, lightweight, portable and without dependencies. RetroArch is a free and open-source, cross-platform frontend for emulators, game engines, video games, media players and other applications.
