RetroArch

Version: 
0.9.9
Released: 
26 May 2013

RetroArch is a multi-system emulator for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and *BSD. It is formerly known as SSNES.

Its design and background is quite different than most other emulators as RetroArch does not implement an emulation core itself. RetroArch talks to libretro, a generic emulator core API. This means that RetroArch is core agnostic, and it does not care which emulator core is running.

Supported cores:

  • bNES, a NES / Famicom emulator.
  • bSNES, a SNES / Super Famicom emulator.
  • Final Burn Alpha, a multi-arcade system emulator.
  • FCEUmm, a NES / Famicom emulator.
  • Gambatte, a Game Boy / Game Boy Color emulator.
  • Genesis Plus GX, a Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear and SG-1000 emulator.
  • iMAME4All, a multi-arcade system emulator.
  • Mednafen PSX, a Sony PlayStation emulator.
  • Meteor, a Game Boy Advance emulator.
  • NXEngine, a Cave Story / Doukutsu Monogatari engine.
  • Prboom, a DOOM engine.
  • SNES9x Next, a SNES / Super Famicom emulator.
  • VBA Next, a Game Boy Advance emulator.
