====== RetroArch ======

[[https://www.retroarch.com/|RetroArch]] is an opensource frontend for various games emulators. It runs libretro “cores” that are available separately as shared libraries. This makes RetroArch modular and user being able to install only desired emulators.

====== Installation ======

RetroArch and some libretro cores are available via SlackBuilds.org.

All libretro cores are installed in the following directories:

  * /usr/lib(64)/libretro: shared libraries
  * /usr/lib(64)/libretro/info: metadata files

====== Usage =======

RetroArch can be ran from command line by specifying a libretro core and content file or via one of its several graphical interface.

<code>
$ retroarch -L /usr/lib64/libretro/foo_libretro.so foo.data
</code>

Otherwise, run ''retroarch'' with no arguments to run its default XMB frontend.

<code>
$ retroarch
</code>
