RetroArch

[Warfare]

Hi, 

I was wondering if RetroArch is useful for anything besides just emulating games. Does it run faster/better? The reason for me asking this is because for some reason i cant get it on my HyperSpin computer, so should i be worried about having it or is it really not that useful? I have read some older post saying that if you want to play the game like it was then you shoudnt get Retroarch and just stick with other emulators. Please leave help and suggestions.

 

Thanks

What do you mean you can't get it? You download it and install it.

 

Retroatch uses the same cores as other emulators but in most cases, does it way better. Retroarch is the emulator of choice for most of us here.

Same here I am a big user of retroarch some other people maybe not so much.

 

The learning curve can be a little step for some people but you can't beat the shader option this emulator has for each core and how well it emulates some cores.

 

Here is the website if you want to check it out

Ok, Thanks all for the replies i am going to try RetroArch out again, now does anyone know a good tutorial ( thats up to date) on how to install it on Hyperspin and get it working properly i know i could look on YouTube but when i did most tutorials were out of date or didn't work ( like I mentioned before).

 

Thanks again all

Thanks for the links kylecp1979 that list of emulators really helped me.

I think i am going to use RetroArch for some systems and just use other emulators for other, so like agent47 mentioned i am going to use a combination.
