一套前端覆盖你的系统。
RetroArch 是一个 Libretro 前端。手柄映射、播放列表和菜单选项在已支持的主机上保持在一起。原版光盘也可从同一菜单加载。
输入设置、着色器、网络和核心管理留在同一界面。Core 另行到达。软件包不含游戏镜像。
这个软件包是什么。
RetroArch 是套在 Libretro core 外面的菜单、输入、视频、音频和更新器。Core 才是模拟器、引擎或媒体程序。前端本身不是模拟器。

核心
Libretro lists more than 200 cores. The set still grows. Engines, games, media tools and emulators share the same API.
OpenLara
OpenLara rebuilds an early Tomb Raider engine.
The core is listed for Windows and Linux.
Read the core notes 此处.
It needs the original data files. Extra lighting sits on the old engine without fighting the original look.
LRPS2
LRPS2 is a PlayStation 2 emulator. Its Vulkan LLE renderer is ParaLLEl GS.
ParaLLEl-GS aims for software-level accuracy on the GPU. That headroom also allows enhancements that are too slow in software, including supersampled antialiasing.
Read the core notes 此处.
DOSBox Pure
DOSBox Pure is a plug-and-play DOSBox build written for Libretro. It covers MS-DOS and Windows 9x titles, plus savestates and rewind.
Many DOS games get automatic detection and gamepad-to-keyboard maps.

PX68K
PX-68K emulates the Sharp X68000, a late-80s Japanese home computer that Capcom used as arcade devkits.
Namco, Konami and Capcom titles lived on that machine.
The core is listed for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
创新
Several ideas left this frontend and later became common. As an active open-source project, it still adds features each year.
- Dynamically loadable programs (cores): Libretro lets RetroArch, or any frontend that implements the API, run a multimedia program when that program follows the Libretro lifecycle. Other apps adopted the same API, so those cores run outside RetroArch as well.
- Dynamic audio rate control: A method for keeping audio and video aligned without crackle or large frame-time spikes. Resample ratios move so the audio buffer should neither underrun nor overrun.
- Runtime programmable pixel shaders on the GPU: Introduced in 2011 with Cg (now deprecated) and GLSL. SPIRV-Cross later made the Slang spec possible, so the same shaders can run across graphics APIs.
- Runahead: Added in 2018. A second session of the game runs ahead. When it works, input and video latency drop without obvious ghosting.
- AI text translation: Capture the current frame and send it to a chosen endpoint. With OCR and related tools, the AI service can translate on screen or speak text, on demand or automatically.
安装前的简短回答。
是不是模拟器？
不是。RetroArch 是 Libretro core 的前端。Core 才是模拟器、引擎或媒体程序。RetroArch 是外面的壳。
免费吗？
是。GNU GPLv3。1.21.0 发行说明写明团队不加应用内广告、变现 SDK 或付费墙功能。
能在 Windows 11 上跑吗？
能。文档覆盖 Windows 7 到 11。Android 需要 5.0 或更高。官方站点列出 macOS、Linux 和 iOS。
带 ROM 或 BIOS 吗？
不带。你提供有权使用的内容。Core 和 nightly 可能触发杀毒扫描。请核对自己所选包的哈希。
