Incredible piece of software that centralizes emulation into a single application, managing your cores for different systems is fairly straightforward, as someone who has emulated games a long time ago and has only recently come back to it, having most systems up to the sixth generation in a single application is massive. I personally chose to use the Steam versioin as opposed to the standalone one since I prefer having everything on Steam, although missing the Core Downloader is quite the disadvantage, there are things to be gained using this version, like cloud saves. There are plenty of resources to help you with things such as adding cores that aren't DLCs, and they work just fine. While I'm mostly satisfied with the experience, my main criticism would be the UI, it can be confusing for beginners, specially in regards to setting the controls and inputs, so it's a learning curve for me. I still think it's worth the time investment since learning it will make it so you don't have to, for the most part, use separate emulators for each system. Adding RetroAchievements is also quite simple and works really well, so kudos to them for that. And it's all FREE, I'll always be supportive of open-source projects and I'm grateful that such option exists for everyone.

Nintendo punching air right now.
У данного приложение есть куча недостатков: — Порой нужно немножко\множко подзапарится с настройками ядер, всяких 'файликов' для полноценной работы этих самих ядер. — И самостоятельные... "приложения" ВСЕГДА ЛУЧШЕ в плане настроек. — Интерфейс специфичен и управление неинтуитивное. — Есть далеко не все ядра. Но есть определённые плюсы, которые закрывают мои хотелки: — Оно есть в стиме. — Геймпад обычно сам подтягивается без каких-либо проблем (ну тут всё зависит от платформы и вашего геймпада.) — Связка его и ремоут плей (кому-то не нравится его качество работы, но обычно она меня вполне устраивает.) Я лично уже подзапарился, настроил большинство нужных мне консолей и просто кидаю другу приглос в стиме. Ему нужно только принять и включить геймпад. Спасибо за чтение ненужного обзора. Я люблю/ненавижу старые игры.
This version has not been updated in a long time, the non steam versions on RetroArch's wesbit work a lot better when it comes to features and even just downloading and updating cores.
don't download this version retroarch, just download the real thing from their website this has a lot of content cut off and honestly I don't even know why does it even exist
Not quite as up-to-date as the standalone version, but on the Steam Deck it’s rock-solid, easy to launch, and does exactly what you need without fuss. Great way to play classic games. Highly recommended.
Transphobic, bigoted, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ developer who has a long history of bullying devs, including one who took their own life, saying inflammatory things about people, and has constantly stolen others work and rebranded it as his own. He also steals donation money and uses it as his own personal bank account. This is an awful architecture anyways. A lot of games run worse than on the actual emulatiors; which requires extra configuring on an unintuitive UI plagued with options and settings that are completely useless, or only for extremely diehard emulation gamers. Half the features are things you will never use. Emulators should be way more than just cores (which is why a lot of games do run worse on here). This ♥♥♥♥ is an absolute hassle to use, and at that point; if you can help it, just use individual emulators. You will get a way better expeirence and configuring them on a per-game basis is not a hellhole.
save ROM into RetroArch/downloads/ install core, if needed Load core choose core when core loaded, load content start directory play the game shown on the list

Rog ally cihazında ne kadar şahane oldu bu.. Ancak steamdeki kısıtlı versiyondan çoğu emulatorun çekirdeğini yükleyemiyormuşuz bunu aşmak için retroarchın kendi sitesinden windows download-64 seçerek indiriyoruz arşivden çıkarıp steamdeki retroarchın kurulu oldugu yere atıyoruz bununla ilgili rehberde hazırladım miss gibi emulatorumuz oldu miss miss
