Um destaque é você poder utilizar a interface de um console PS3 no pc, podendo ficar recheado de jogos retrôs à sua disposição. Você pode adicionar texturas novas e remasterizadas para jogos em alguns emuladores. E em todos os que testei, você pode aumentar a resolução dos jogos. O segredo é aprender a configurar o programa e ter paciência, porque são muitas opções de customização. [h3]Não deixe os jogos retrôs morrerem[/h3] No começo, fiquei com receio de o utilizar, porque gostava (e ainda gosto) de ter os emuladores individualmente separados na área de trabalho. Mas alguns deles não possuíam compatibilidade com o retroachievements e também não possuíam recurso de cover arts, as capinhas icônicas de cada jogo, que estampavam as caixinhas de mídia física, algo que faço questão. Então baixei o Retroarch na Steam, configurei com ajuda de tutoriais, instalei os núcleos que eu preciso, adicionei a pasta com meus jogos retrôs e comecei a jogar. Mas como a versão Steam não possui atualizador online, você fica limitado em alguns recursos e também não tem suporte às capinhas. Outra coisa é que não consegui utilizar o retroachievements nesta versão, mas não sei informar se foi erro meu ou se na Steam não tem esse recurso. Minha solução foi baixar o Retroarch pelo site mesmo, que é uma versão superior e entrega exatamente o que quero. Então adicionei ele na biblioteca como jogo não-steam, para poder utilizar o inicializador Steam, ter acesso ao overlay Steam, ter o registro de horas e poder personalizar as artes. As únicas vantagens de utilizar a versão nativa da Steam é estar sempre atualizado automaticamente, ter saves na nuvem steam e, principalmente, usar o remote play together para jogar algum jogo retrô à distância com um amigo, o que é incrível. Então quando vou jogar com um amigo, e só nesse momento, utilizo a versão steam. [h3]Portanto[/h3] Se você não liga para capinhas ou troféus, recomendo utilizar a versão Steam.

I took the steam guts out and put the full version into the folder and it worked so do that because the steam version of retroarch was always missing features
The Swiss Army knife of emulation. Free, open-source, supports almost every retro system I care about, packed with features, and endlessly customizable. The setup can be confusing at first, but once it clicks, there's nothing better.
Retroarch sucks, this one sucks more than the regular version. Use standalone emulators it's not hard.
I didn't think the steam version would amount to much, but if you're a steamdeck user than this is a requirement.
Muy bueno para emular los juegos que definitivamente tienes en físico 👀
If you prefer all your emulators in one package, this is for you. Also if you love achievements, I highly recommend looking at Retro Achievements.
💩
Highly recommend people use Steam retroarch instead of individual emulators as your game saves are saved on steams cloud so you can re-add your games whenever. On top of that its good old retroarch... All of your games in one place. You get options like run ahead or preemptive frames for eliminating input lag, you get achievements for games, black frame insertion for crt-like image motion clarity, custom cores like dolphin, citra, ruffle, so many more graphical and fps boosting options than standalone emulators... I could go on and on.
Having it on Steam allows you to have Steam screenshots. I have only been able to get it to play up to PS1 games. If you need help getting as far as I've gotten with PS1 and prior generations, I will assist you in Discord as much as possible. Everyone should be able to play all the games they own on PC. From NES' Zelda games to PS1's Persona games. It's all available with maybe an hour of research. Every gamer around my age should have RetroArch either through Steam or elsewhere. I'm looking forward to playing all my past favorites that aren't available to also be purchased on PC. NES' Zelda games. Genesis' Phantasy Star games, General Chaos, and Shining Force 2. PS1's Persona games, Breath of Fire 3, Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen, Beyond the Beyond, and Azure Dreams. I highly recommend this software as it opens up so much. The community and I will help you.
