Libretro and its various contributors have certainly been busy these past few weeks. We bring to you a wide range of new cores, available for use in RetroArch, and/or any other Libretro-compatible frontend.
The a5200 core is an optimised Atari 5200 emulator based on Atari800 2.0.2. Originally developed for the GCW Zero, it runs full speed on even the weakest hardware (e.g. o3DS) – yet with a design focussed on ease of use and tight libretro integration it provides a simple ‘plug and play’ solution for Atari 5200 con...

A busy year passed by and there was a lot of silence on the Open-Hardware Project.
The promise of RetroArch Open-Hardware has always been open hardware with open software delivering an open solution.
We stand by this goal to this day, however we felt that the DIY market alone will not help the cause significantly to bring emulation to the mainstream.
Thus we partnered wit...

Changes since version 3.5.2:
A ninjafix release was just pushed for RetroArch 1.9.13. This overwrites the current 1.9.13 build. Download it here.
The main reason for this was that the overlays had been changed in 1.9.13. This would lead to many people’s existing overlay config files being broken due to the paths no longer working. So we changed it back to defaults. We apologize for the inconvenience. For example, because of this, the default overlay for Android would fail to start, and...

As all here know, RetroArch is an amazing open-source project. It has provided many people with countless hours of high quality entertainment. At the same time many contributors strive to make it better, more inclusive and more enjoyable for more people. That is why we translators do our best to localize RA into any and all languages we can!
Unfortunately, some translation efforts have been stagnating for some time, so we would like to ask you for help: If you would like to contribute to loc...

RetroArch 1.9.13 introduces a new option called “Automatic Frame Delay”. It has been added to the Latency sub-menu (found under Settings -> Latency).
This new feature provides an effective way to avoid having to configure a specific value for the “Frame Delay” option for each and every core and individual piece of content that you may want to run, by automatically tuning down its strength based on your system performance.
This is yet another contribution that empowers our l...

Hello everyone!
We have been busy working on the Steam version to improve compatibility and stability. Right now, we need to make some changes for the Linux platform. For a long time, we have manually released everything on the Steam, this has now been automated for both platforms. Looking forward you can expect regular updates and soon a nightly branch. However, to simplify RetroArch on Steam we are moving to the same folder structure on all platforms. Additionally, on Linux, we are moving from the AppImage-based release to using the ...

We’re very excited to share with you all the work we’ve been putting into the PCSX2 core as of late.
As a general baseline, Libretro strives to make sure that the cores we self-maintain are fairly portable. We’d like not to have the user to require to install several data files inside the System folder in order for an emulator core to work. The problem with the PCSX2 core up to this point was that it was too much of...

this is a rare private post from us.
An earlier message was sent today. Unfortunately, we had to take the difficult decision of removing this for now since some of the other afflicted parties dont want word to get out yet that we are onto them. Please do not ask us questions about this yet or talk about it until we finally make the decision to publish this. We thank you for your understanding.
We're getting ready for a big new release soon! In the meantime, here's something nice for you all...

Hi there community,
last Sunday a tragedy befell the emulation community, when Near tragically took his own life. While we feel Near needs no introduction, we feel it is only right to let people know of the extent to which Near’s work laid the foundational framework of Libretro/RetroArch, and what other great projects they worked on, including of course bsnes (which needs no introduction at this point).
