Purpose of Retroarch?


VinceF

Recommended Posts

I've done some searching but not finding the answer in a way that makes sense to me.  I wanted to use Duckstation to emulate PS1 and was looking at the tutorial on YouTube for this and it discusses Retroarch.  I have loaded most other emulators into LB w/o using Retroarch but am wondering its purpose.  Why would I use Retroarch at all?

You are free to use whatever emulator you choose. We just choose to use Retroarch because of the extra little things it brings to the table like better sound options for adjust audio latency, better input latency options including frame delay and runahead and it has amazing shaders.

All of these things are just final tweaks to fine tune the emulation to your liking and your hardware.

Retroarch is mostly a set up once and it's good across all the cores minus the bios and certain specific core needs.
