Many thanks for the very good SEGA Genesis Emulation.
Playing Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3, Streets of Rage 1-3, Gunstar Heroes or Contra Hard Corps with hylian shader, Audio Lowpass Filter, Cycle accurate sound emultaion, an very nice Retro TV-Style Overlay and āsix-button controllerā is just as good as play on real hardware, if not better !!! Sooooooooooooooooo MANY Thanks for that very finetuned and authentic experience !!! I Simply Love it !!!

OK sweet, I can say thanks for a neat set of applications to get gaming going in a go!
I use retroarch on my 3ds and love it! I am looking for a way to post a question on the forum but perhaps someone will see this here
I updated from 1.6.7 to 1.7 and lost the ability to select Mapper as an input (for 3ds button control mapping) (installed cia on top of CIA and copied retroarch folder over ftp - have tried deleting the config files and letting it rebuild both to no avail When I go into the Input User 1 Bindings I see the User 1 Device type as Unknown but then it shows the 3ds controller as the index ā it use to say mapper where it says unknown. How do i reload this mapper?
Thanks for this one.
Thank you! Retroarch is very useful especially when it comes to using cores for emulators that donāt have a native port for the target OS (like macos).
The program is fresh!! You rock Bro!
It is really great, but Iāve been coming across some annoying problems. Just created my account to seek for help but I canāt even create a post, it seems.
Sounds good so far!
I canāt provide any guidance as to the specifics of license compliance, since IANAL, but my laymanās opinion is that it sounds like youāre doing it right. Thanks for letting us know!
EDIT: whoops, just noticed the Internet Archive ROM downloading thing. Thatās something weāve specifically distanced ourselves from and will continue to do so. We donāt support copyright infringement in any shape or form.

I wanna say thank you as well.
Got into RetroArch when it came to the Wii U and after some hassle I found out how it works and that itās genius! Now Iām using a base set (containing roms, thumbnails, cheat files, savefiles/states and various other stuff) on an external storage which I take with me everytime while I have RetroArch on my Wii U, my Windows PC, my Android phone and my Linux notebook. I just need to plugin my base set storage, adjust directory settings in each RetroArch installment once and can continue my savegames wherever I sit.
Thank you so much for this!

I discovered RetroArch this year. I am using it on Retropie, Windows and Linux. Soon I am going to try the Wii version. This all in one software is simply glorious. This is now my way to play retro games.

I want to put a special thanks to everyone that works on getting AMD issues fixed - this card has been the bane of my existence since I bought it, and with GPUs being so outrageous Iāve kinda been SOL on switching to Nvidia.
After reading about Reicast OIT working on AMD now , I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the work on that.

I gotta thank everyone for all the work put into this. Having multiple emulators in a single software is priceless. Iām having a few issues with certain cores, but Iām sure Iāll figure them out somehow.

Hi, as a newbie (3 months) with Retroarch / Lakka I want to express my experience as someone who has never tried them before.
Preamble:
I wanted a Frontend that would facilitate me the use of emulators and after a search by Google and see the different Frontends that exists I had opted for RetroArch / Lakka, I was not wrong.
Why did I love RetroArch / Lakka? Note: they are ordered from most to least, they are my personal tastes and these points do not mean they are the best of RetroArch / Lakka:
-
The active community behind RetroArch / Lakka: Many people are involved in this project and in the Libretro forums I have always gotten answers to my newbie doubts.
-
Lakka as your O.S with RetroArch: I love this because it is a minimal O.S, simple, quick and dedicated. You do not have the typical problems of operating systems.
-
Xmb UI: I had read reviews about RetroArch that it is not easy to manage. I do not agree, at first it may cost you a little (not much) but then the Xmb UI and being able to control everything with your Gamepad is the best of the best and I can not conceive Retroarch without this interface.
-
Kiosk mode: Tremendously useful. I like minimalist things, the fewer menus the better, once I have everything set up and ready I do not want to see menu options that I will not use anymore (at least not usually).
-
Views / Appearance: You can show / hide many elements of the menus in a personalized way.
-
Playlists: The concept itself and can create and customize as you want by giving names to ROMs that does not have to be the same name as the ROM. Associate a PlayList to a Core.
-
Savestates: You can save with game capture and save the saves all in the same folder or by Core.
-
Covers and screenshots: You can choose where they are shown on the left or right. The auto-scale of size that was implemented.
-
Shaders: Have them and the easing with which you can apply / change one.
-
Drivers: You can choose the video / audio driver compatible with your device that you like the most.
-
Cheats: Sometimes itās good to be able to use them in some games.
-
CHD support, slowdown fix, etc in some Cores that even the standalone versions does not have it.
Greetings.

love all the work that is done on retroarch! the shaders, ease of use, everything is just perfect!
Retroarch is the best thing that happened to emulation maybe ever. And not only for end users. Also devs can focus on the back end since the front end is already there and deals wonderfully with video, sound, controls and presentation. Games have never played, looked and sounded better, and being able to configure them individually is a godsend. Absolutely brilliant platform. Thank you!
